About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Open Label, Clinical Trial to Evaluate Three Doses of Tipranavir Boosted With Ritonavir (500 mg/200 mg qd, 250 mg/100 mg Bid and 500 mg/100 mg Bid) by Assessing the Steady-state Pharmacokinetics and Short-term Efficacy and Safety in HIV-1 Positive Treatment naïve Patients

The purpose of this study is to identify an optimal dose combination(s) of tipranavir (TPV) and ritonavir (RTV) for antiretroviral treatment naïve HIV-1 infected patients that can be used in pivotal trial by assessing the steady-state pharmacokinetics and short-term efficacy and safety

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Viral Load (log10 Copies/mL) Change From Baseline (Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF))

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) to Final (Day 14)

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Apparent Oral Clearance I(Cl/F) of Tipranavir

    Tipranavir pharmacokinetics - Clearance (CL) is defined as the dose of a drug divided by the area-under-the-concentration-time curve (AUC), ie. CL = Dose / AUC. For extravascu-lar models the fraction of dose absorbed cannot be estimated, therefore "clear-ance" for these models is actually Cl/F where F is the fraction of the drug dose which is absorbed.

    Measured: Final (Day 14)

  2. Area Under the Curve(AUC) of Tipranavir 24 h for Once Daily (QD) and AUC 12 h for Twice Daily (BID)

    Tipranavir (TPV) pharmacokinetics

    Measured: Final (Day 13 for QD, Day 14 for BID)

  3. Concentration-24 Hour (hr) Post Dose of Tipranavir - (Cp 24 h for QD and 12 hr Post Dose (CP 12h) for BID

    TPV pharmacokinetics

    Measured: Final (Day 13 for QD, Day 14 for BID)

  4. Trough Concentration (Cmin) of Tipranavir

    TPV pharmacokinetics

    Measured: Final (Day 13 for QD, Day 14 for BID)

  5. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Tipranavir

    TPV pharmacokinetics

    Measured: Final (Day 13 for QD, Day 14 for BID)

  6. Volume of Distribution (V/F) of Tipranavir

    Tipranavir pharmacokinetics

    Measured: Final (Day 14)

  7. Terminal Half-Life (t1/2) of Tipranavir

    Tipranavir pharmacokinetics

    Measured: Final (Day 14)

  8. Time to Cmax (Tmax) of Tipranavir

    Tipranavir pharmacokinetics

    Measured: Final (Day 14)

  9. AUC 24 of Ritonavir for QD and AUC 12 of Ritonavir for BID

    Ritonavir pharmacokinetics

    Measured: Final (Day 13 for QD, Day 14 for BID)

  10. Cp 24 h of Ritonavir for QD and CP 12 h of Ritonavir for BID

    Ritonavir pharmacokinetics

    Measured: Final (Day 13 for QD, Day 14 for BID)

  11. Apparent Oral Clearance I(Cl/F) of Ritonavir

    Ritonavir pharmacokinetics

    Measured: Final (Day 13 for QD, Day 14 for BID)

  12. Volume of Distribution (V/F) of Ritonavir

    Ritonavir pharmacokinetics

    Measured: Final (Day 14)

  13. Terminal Half-Life (t1/2) of Ritonavir

    Ritonavir pharmacokinetics

    Measured: Final (Day 14)

  14. Tmax of Ritonavir

    Ritonavir pharmacokinetics

    Measured: Final (Day 14)

  15. Cmax of Ritonavir

    Ritonavir pharmacokinetics

    Measured: Visits baseline, 5, 7, 9 and 13 or 14

  16. Clinical Abnormal Findings in Laboratory and Physical Examination

    Measured: Screening through the end of the study (14 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing tipranavir and ritonavir in people with HIV Infections, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 12 sites in 3 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 16 inclusion and 17 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 6 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Germany, Italy, Spain. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 8 Jul 2009). 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?

Viral Load (log10 Copies/mL) Change From Baseline (Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)) (time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Final (Day 14)). 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 6 Jun 2014.
