About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-label Trial to Explore the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of TMC278 25 mg Once Daily Following a 2-week Period Receiving Efavirenz, in Healthy Male and Female Subjects

The purpose of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics of TMC278 (rilpivirine) 25 mg once daily following a preceding 2-week treatment period with efavirenz 600 mg once daily in healthy volunteers

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I, open-label (all people involved know the identity of the intervention), single center trial in healthy HIV negative volunteers to investigate the pharmacokinetics (how drugs are absorbed in the body, how they are distributed within the body, the rate at which a drug action begins, the duration of the effect, the chemical changes of the substance in the body, and the effects and routes of excretion of the metabolites) of the drug of rilpivirine (TMC278) 25 mg once daily (q.d.). An approximate total of 20 volunteers will be enrolled in this trial. All volunteers will receive 3 different treatments; o Treatment A: TMC278 25 mg q.d. administered for 14 days.; o Treatment B: efavirenz (EFV) 600 mg q.d. administered for 14 days.; o Treatment C: TMC278 25 mg q.d. administered for 28 days (4 weeks).; All volunteers will start with Treatment A followed by Treatment B. Treatments A and B will be separated by a washout period of at least 14 days but no more than 21 days. At the end of Treatment B, volunteers will continue with Treatment C. There will be no washout period between Treatments B and C.; Full pharmacokinetic profiles of TMC278 will be determined up to 24 hours postdose on Days 1 and 14 of Treatment A (references), Day 1 (immediately after cessation of EFV intake) of Treatment C (test), and on Days 14, 21, and 28 (2, 3, and 4 weeks after cessation of EFV intake, respectively) of Treatment C. Trough (C0h) samples for determination of TMC278 plasma; concentrations will be collected regularly in between. Blood samples for determination of EFV plasma concentrations will be collected at regular time points during Treatment B and during Treatment C after cessation of EFV intake.; Serum samples for potential future testing of ex vivo antiviral activity will be collected and stored.; A pharmacogenomic blood sample for potential future CYP2B6 genotyping will be collected and stored from subjects who consent separately to the pharmacogenomic component of the trial.; Safety and tolerability will be evaluated throughout the trial. Rilpivirine (TMC278) 25mg once daily for 14 days, No Treatment 14-21 days, Efavirenz 600mg once daily for 14 days, TMC278 25mg once daily for 28 days

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetics of TMC278 25 mg once daily (q.d.) following a preceding 2-week treatment period with EFV 600 mg q.d., in healthy volunteers

    Measured: 70-77 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To evaluate the EFV inducing effect on TMC278 metabolism after EFV intake cessation, through comparison of TMC278 plasma concentrations with and without preceding EFV intake

    Measured: 70-77 days

  2. To evaluate EFV plasma concentrations over time after cessation of EFV intake

    Measured: 70-77 days

  3. To assess the safety (including vital signs and electrocardiogram [ECG] measurements, laboratory assessments, and incidence of overall AEs and tolerability) of TMC278 at a dose of 25 mg q.d administered alone and after switching from EFV over a period of

    Measured: 70-77 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TMC278 and Efavirenz in people with HIV, run by Tibotec, Inc.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 4 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Pharmacokinetics of TMC278 25 mg once daily (q.d.) following a preceding 2-week treatment period with EFV 600 mg q.d., in healthy volunteers (time frame: 70-77 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 4 Sep 2013.
