About this study

Official title: The Pharmacokinetics of Lopinavir/Ritonavir in Combination With Atazanavir in HIV-Infected Subjects

The objective of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics of lopinavir, ritonavir, and atazanavir when lopinavir/ritonavir and atazanavir are used in combination.

Read the detailed description

Thirty patients with HIV infection will be enrolled in this open-label, parallel arm pharmacokinetic study. Subjects receiving either lopinavir/ritonavir or atazanavir/ritonavir as part of their antiretroviral therapy will have a pharmacokinetic study performed over 12-20 days to examine whether coadministration of lopinavir and atazanavir alters the pharmacokinetics of either agent. The safety of these agents in combination will also be explored.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • atazanavirDrug

    Also called Reyataz 300 mg capsules

    Atazanavir 300 mg daily on Days 6-12.

  • lopinavir/ritonavirDrug

    Also called Kaletra 200 mg/50 mg tablets

    Lopinavir/ritonavir 400 mg/100 mg twice daily on Days 6-16, then 800 mg/200 mg daily on Days 17-21.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm AExperimentalSubjects on atazanavir/ritonavir will add lopinavir/ritonavir.
Receives: Drug: lopinavir/ritonavir
Arm BExperimentalSubjects on lopinavir/ritonavir will add atazanavir.
Receives: Drug: atazanavir

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, Cmin, AUC) for lopinavir, ritonavir, atazanavir

    Measured: Day 6, Day 12 or 16, Day 20

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety (e.g., GI tolerance, lab abnormalities, ECG changes)

    Measured: Day 6, Day 12 or Day 16, Day 20

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing atazanavir and lopinavir/ritonavir in people with HIV Infection, run by University of Oklahoma at 1 site in United States.

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 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Unexpected adverse event). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Mean pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, Cmin, AUC) for lopinavir, ritonavir, atazanavir (time frame: Day 6, Day 12 or 16, Day 20). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00420355, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Feb 2009.
