About this study

Official title: Genetic Predictors of Pharmacokinetic Variability in the Drug-drug Interaction Between Darunavir/Ritonavir and Pravastatin: the Role of SLCO1B1 Polymorphisms.

Pravastatin (Pravachol) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is used to treat high cholesterol. Darunavir (Prezista) and ritonavir (Norvir) are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat HIV infection. When darunavir and ritonavir are given with pravastatin, they can increase the blood levels of pravastatin. The degree of this interaction varies from person to person. The way that darunavir and ritonavir interact with pravastatin may be affected by a person's genetic make-up. Genetic factors (or DNA) are those that people are born with and that make each person unique. Genetic differences are the reason why one person's body traits such as height and hair color are different from another person's body traits. Genetic differences can also affect the way a medication works in the body or the way two medications interact in the body. The purpose of this clinical study is to determine if a person's genetic make-up affects the way darunavir and ritonavir interact with pravastatin in the body.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relative Change in Pravastatin Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) Over the Dosing Interval

    AUC of pravastatin when administered with darunavir/ritonavir divided by AUC of pravastatin when administered alone. The AUC was measured over a 24-hour dosing interval.

    Measured: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours post-dose

  2. Relative Change in Pravastatin Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Cmax of pravastatin when administered with darunavir/ritonavir divided by the Cmax of pravastatin when administered alone.

    Measured: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pravastatin Alone: Pravastatin Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) Over the Dosing Interval

    Dosing interval of 24 hours

    Measured: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours post-dose

  2. Pravastatin Alone: Pravastatin Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours post-dose

  3. Pravastatin + Darunavir/Ritonavir: Pravastatin Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) Over the Dosing Interval

    Dosing interval of 24 hours

    Measured: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours post-dose

  4. Pravastatin + Darunavir/Ritonavir: Pravastatin Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pravastatin, Darunavir and Ritonavir in people with HIV Infections and Hyperlipidemia, run by University of Colorado, Denver 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 1 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 22 May 2014. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Nov 2012). 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?

Relative Change in Pravastatin Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) Over the Dosing Interval (time frame: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours post-dose). The study lists 2 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 22 May 2014.
