About this study

Official title: The Pharmacokinetics of Two Generic Co-formulations of Lopinavir/Ritonavir for HIV Infected Children: a Pilot Study of Lopimune vs. the Branded Product (SURF Study).

This pilot pharmacokinetic study is designed to exclude a large difference (>40%) in pharmacokinetics (esp. AUC) between two new Lopimune formulations and the branded formulation. The formal bioequivalence study with adequate power will be conducted by the manufacturer. In order to get data independently from the manufacturer and to have this information in an earlier phase, this small pilot study is initiated.

The initial study showed a declined bioavailability of the granules under fasting conditions. The study has been extended with an arm determining the pharmacokinetics of the granules after food (compared to the oral solution taken with food).

Read the detailed description

Cipla has developed two co-formulated forms of lopinavir/ritonavir for second-line antiretroviral therapy for children: Lopimune granules and Lopimune tablets. They contain 100mg lopinavir and 25mg ritonavir.

Primary objective of this study:

To determine the pharmacokinetic profile of lopinavir and ritonavir in two different co-formulations (Lopimune granules and Lopimune tablets) after single-dose in HIV-negative, healthy adult subjects, and to compare this to the branded product.

Secondary objective:

To evaluate the safety of single-dose administration of the two generic co-formulations of lopinavir/ritonavir and compare this to the branded product.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lopinavir/ritonavir in people with HIV Infections, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 7 inclusion and 12 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 12 Nov 2020. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Plasma concentrations of lopinavir and ritonavir. (time frame: 0 (predose), 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 24 and 32 hours post ingestion (11 samples) on Days 1, 8 and 15.). 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 NCT00665951, 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 12 Nov 2020.
