About this study

Official title: Effect of Cytochrome P450 2B6 Genetic Polymorphism and Voriconazole on CYP2B6 Activity in Healthy Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to see if administration of medicines and genetic differences affects the activity of a liver enzyme called CYP2B6 in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will test the hypothesis that CYP2B6 genetic variants that show effects in vitro also influence the in vivo activity of CYP2B6 and its responsiveness to metabolic inhibition, using the metabolism of efavirenz (100 mg dose) as a marker of activity. The metabolism and pharmacokinetics of efavirenz will be determined in a total of 60 healthy volunteers with CYP2B6*1/*1, CYP2B6*1*6 and CYP2B6*6*6 at baseline (control) and after pretreatment with voriconazole.

Being tested
Efavirenz, voriconazole

What participants receive

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

  • EfavirenzDrug

    Also called Sustiva

    In phase 1 day 1 (control phase) a single 100mg dose of efavirenz will be administered.

    In phase 2 (voriconazole pretreatment phase), the subject will be pretreated with voriconazole (400mg twice daily on phase 2 day 8 and then 200mg twice daily for the next consecutive 8 days. In phase 3 (efavirenz plus voriconazole phase), the subject will receive on phase 3 day 10 100mg single dose of efavirenz along with 200mg of voriconazole twice daily.

  • voriconazoleDrug

    Also called Vfend

    In phase 1 day 1 (control phase) a single 100mg dose of efavirenz will be administered.

    In phase 2 (voriconazole pretreatment phase), the subject will be pretreated with voriconazole (400mg twice daily on phase 2 day 8 and then 200mg twice daily for the next consecutive 8 days. In phase 3 (efavirenz plus voriconazole phase), the subject will receive on phase 3 day 10 100mg single dose of efavirenz along with 200mg of voriconazole twice daily.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure Efavirenz Clearance

    Effect of steady-state voriconazole on efavirenz Clearance in healthy volunteers (n=61) administered a single 100 mg oral dose of efavirenz at baseline (control phase) and after treatment with voriconazole to steady-state.

    Measured: Baseline, 30 min, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 24h after efavirenz

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Efavirenz and voriconazole in people with Efavirenz, Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics Changes, run by Indiana University 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 5 inclusion and 16 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 17 Dec 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Dec 2014). 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?

Measure Efavirenz Clearance (time frame: Baseline, 30 min, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 24h after efavirenz). 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 NCT01104376, 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 17 Dec 2014.
