What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Cmax was obtained directly from the concentration-time data.

    Measured: Blood samples were collected at time 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-dose, relative to administration of PM or AM dose.

  2. Minimum Plasma Concentration (Cmin)

    Cmin was obtained directly from the concentration-time data.

    Measured: Blood samples were collected at time 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-dose, relative to administration of PM or AM dose.

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve Over the Dosing Interval of 24 Hours (AUC[TAU])

    The AUC(TAU), from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration (t), was calculated by the linear trapezoidal rule.

    Measured: Blood samples were collected at time 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-dose, relative to administration of PM or AM dose.

  4. Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax)

    Tmax was obtained directly from the concentration-time data.

    Measured: Blood samples were collected at time 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-dose, relative to administration of PM or AM dose.

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Number of Participants Who Died or Experienced Other Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An SAE was defined as any adverse event (AE) occurring at any dose that; resulted in death; was life threatening; resulted in a persistent or significant disability/incapacity; resulted in/prolonged an existing in-patient hospitalization; was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; was a cancer; or was an overdose.

    Measured: From screening (within 21 days of Day 1 dosing) to the study discharge day (Day 2 for AM dosing or Day 3 for PM dosing). Participants were monitored for SAEs up to 30 days after study discharge.

  2. Number of Participants Who Experienced AEs

    AEs were defined as any new untoward medical occurrences or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a participant administered a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

    Measured: From screening (within 21 days of Day 1 dosing) to the study discharge day (Day 2 for AM dosing or Day 3 for PM dosing).

  3. Number of Participants Who Experienced AEs Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation

    AEs were defined as any new untoward medical occurrences or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a participant administered a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Participants who discontinued the study due to an AE were recorded.

    Measured: From screening (within 21 days of Day 1 dosing) to the study discharge day (Day 2 for AM dosing or Day 3 for PM dosing).

  4. Number of Participants With Marked Abnormalities (MAs) in Hematology Measurements

    MAs are laboratory measurements marked as abnormal, per pre-defined study criteria, at any study time point. The following hematology MA definitions specify the criteria for the data presented. Low platelet count: <0.85 x lower limit of normal (LLN) (or if pre-treatment value <LLN, then <0.85 x pre-treatment value). Low leukocytes: <0.9 x LLN (or if pre-treatment value <LLN, then <0.85 x pre-treatment value. If pre-treatment value >upper limit of normal [ULN], then <LLN). Low neutrophils+bands (absolute): <=1.500 10^3 cells/microliter (uL). Low lymphocytes (absolute): <0.750 10^3 cells/uL.

    Measured: Throughout study, from screening (within 21 days of Day 1 dosing) through Day 3.

  5. Number of Participants With Serum Chemistry MAs

    MAs are laboratory measurements marked as abnormal, per pre-defined study criteria, at any study time point. The following serum chemistry MA definitions specify the criteria for MAs in the data presented. High bilirubin (total): >1.1 x ULN (or if pre-treatment value >ULN, then >1.25 x pre-treatment value). High creatinine: >1.33 x pre-treatment value. Low albumin: <0.9 x LLN (or if pre-treatment value <LLN, then <0.9 x pre-treatment value). High amylase (total): >2 x pre-treatment value.

    Measured: Throughout study, from screening (within 21 days of Day 1 dosing) through Day 3.

  6. Number of Participants With Urinalysis MAs

    MAs are laboratory measurements marked as abnormal, per pre-defined study criteria, at any study time point. The following urinalysis MA definitions specify the criteria for MAs in the data presented. The presence of white blood cells (WBCs) and red blood cells (RBCs) in the urine was graded on a scale: 0 = no cells present (negative); trace =a small number of cells present; then 1+, 2+, 3+ and 4+, denoting increasingly "positive" urine results (ie, WBCs/RBCs present in the urine). The MA for both WBCs and RBCs was >= 2+ (or, if pre-treatment value >=2+, then >= 4+).

    Measured: Throughout study, from screening (within 21 days of Day 1 dosing) through Day 3.

  7. Number of Participants With Identified Electrocardiogram (ECG) Abnormalities

    ECG abnormalities are findings that are clinically meaningful by the judgment of the investigator. A 12-lead ECG was performed and all ECG recordings were evaluated by the investigator. Abnormalities, if present at any study time point, were listed.

    Measured: From screening (within 21 days of Day 1 dosing) to the study discharge day (Day 2 for AM dosing or Day 3 for PM dosing)

  8. Number of Participants With Clinically Meaningful Vital Signs Measures

    Vital signs were recorded throughout the study and included investigations related to body temperature, respiratory rate, seated blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), and heart rate. The investigator used his/her clinical judgement to decide whether or not abnormalities in vital signs were clinically meaningful.

    Measured: From screening (within 21 days of Day 1 dosing) to the study discharge day (Day 2 for AM dosing or Day 3 for PM dosing)

  9. Number of Participants With Abnormal Physical Examination Findings at Baseline (Screening and/or Day 1)

    The physical examination included an evaluation of the participant's height and body mass index (BMI) (at screening only), and weight. Abnormal physical examination are findings that are clinically meaningful by the judgment of the investigator

    Measured: From screening (within 21 days of Day 1 dosing) to the study discharge day (Day 2 for AM dosing or Day 3 for PM dosing)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing efavirenz containing antiretroviral regimen in people with HIV Infections and Hepatic Impairment, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 4 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States, Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Aug 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) (time frame: Blood samples were collected at time 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-dose, relative to administration of PM or AM dose.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Sep 2010.
