Trial summary

The purpose of the study is to look at whether changing directly from one medication for HIV (efavirenz) to a new medication for HIV (TMC125) has any effect on the levels of TMC125 in the blood, compared to when TMC125 is taken without efavirenz having been taken immediately beforehand.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of TMC125 Administered Once and Twice-Daily and Following a 2-Week-Treatment Period With Efavirenz in Male and Female Healthy Volunteers.

The purpose of the study is to look at whether changing directly from one medication for HIV (efavirenz) to a new medication for HIV (TMC125) has any effect on the levels of TMC125 in the blood, compared to when TMC125 is taken without efavirenz having been taken immediately beforehand.

The study aims to help the investigators understand whether it is safe to change directly from efavirenz to TMC125 (with no gap between the treatments) in patients who need these treatments.

The study will investigate the blood levels of TMC125 when it is taken both once and twice a day.

Read the detailed description

Pharmacokinetic parameters of TMC125 will be evaluated when TMC125 is given without and with a 14-day efavirenz intake preceding period in order to evaluate the risk of achieving sub therapeutic concentrations of TMC125 when switching straight from efavirenz containing regimens

Safety and tolerability of medications will also be assessed by questions, physical examination and laboratory parameters. These will be performed at regular intervals during the drug study.

What participants receive

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

  • TMC125 once dailyDrug

    Group 1 (n =12): subjects will receive TMC125 400 mg once daily for 14 days followed by 14 days of washout followed by efavirenz 600 mg once daily for 14 days followed by 14 days of TMC125 400 mg once daily

  • TMC125 twice dailyDrug

    Group 2 (n = 12): TMC125 200 mg twice daily for 14 days followed by 14 days of washout followed by efavirenz 600 mg once daily for 14 days followed by 14 days of TMC125 200 mg twice daily

What is being measured

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

  1. Steady state plasma concentrations of TMC125 administered once and twice-daily and following a 2-week-treatment period with efavirenz 600 mg once daily

    Measured: 56 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Efavirenz inducing effect on TMC125 metabolism after efavirenz intake cessation evaluation. Safety and tolerability of TMC125 administered once and twice-daily

    Measured: 56 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TMC125 once daily and TMC125 twice daily in people with HIV Infections, run by St Stephens Aids Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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 5 Sep 2008. 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 Kingdom. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Steady state plasma concentrations of TMC125 administered once and twice-daily and following a 2-week-treatment period with efavirenz 600 mg once daily (time frame: 56 days). 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 5 Sep 2008.
