Trial summary

This study is being conducted to look at how the body handles the drug maraviroc. It will measure the amount of maraviroc in blood, semen, saliva and in the rectum of men. The aim is to understand how much of the drug (taken by mouth) reaches the oral, reproductive and intestinal tracts. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase IV, Open Label Study in Healthy Male Subjects to Investigate the Extent of Maraviroc Exposure in Blood, Saliva, Seminal Fluid, and Rectal Mucosal Tissue Following Single and Multiple Dosing of Maraviroc

This study is being conducted to look at how the body handles the drug maraviroc. It will measure the amount of maraviroc in blood, semen, saliva and in the rectum of men. The aim is to understand how much of the drug (taken by mouth) reaches the oral, reproductive and intestinal tracts. It is believed that the presence of this drug in these areas may be beneficial in preventing the AIDS virus (HIV) from being passed from one person to another. The study will take samples of blood, saliva, semen and rectal mucosal tissue to measure drug levels. This study will also collect information on side effects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Maraviroc in people with HIV/AIDS, run by University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 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 4 inclusion and 21 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 13 May 2011. 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 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?

To generate individual maraviroc pharmacokinetic parameters in seminal plasma after single and multiple dosing (time frame: Study Days 1, 7, and 8). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00775294, 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 13 May 2011.
