About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-label, Randomized, 2-panel, 2-way Crossover Pivotal Bioequivalence Trial Between the Commercially Available 400-mg Tablet Formulation (F030) and the 800-mg Tablet Formulation of Darunavir (G002), in the Presence of Low-dose Ritonavir Under Fasted and Fed Conditions

In this study participants will be given 800 mg darunavir, either as one 800-mg tablet formulation (G002), or as two commercially available 400-mg tablets formulation (F030), to evaluate the effect between both, in the presence of low-dose ritonavir under fasted and fed conditions.

Read the detailed description

Darunavir (DRV, formerly known as TMC114) is an inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease. This study is designed to establish the bioequivalence of a commercially available 400-mg tablet formulation (F030) to one 800-mg tablet formulation of DRV (G002) in the presence of low-dose ritonavir under fasted and fed conditions. This is a Phase I, open-label (both participant and investigator know the name of the medication given at certain moment), randomized (study medication is assigned by chance), 2-panel, 2-way crossover study in healthy volunteers to assess the bioequivalence of DRV following administration of 2 tablet strengths (in the presence of low-dose ritonavir) under fasted and fed conditions. A total of 124 participants will participate in this study. Participants will be divided into 2 panels; 80 participants in Panel 1 (fasted) and 44 in Panel 2 (fed). In Panel 1, during 2 subsequent sessions, each participant will receive 2 treatments under fasted conditions, meaning Treatment A, a single oral 800-mg dose of DRV formulated as the 400-mg commercially available tablet F030 and Treatment B, a single oral 800-mg dose of DRV formulated as the 800-mg tablet formulation G002. In Panel 2, the same design as Panel 1 will be followed but under fed conditions, and where the 2 treatments, respectively, will be called Treatments C and D. In both panels, participants will receive ritonavir 100 mg once a day on Days 1 to 5. Ritonavir will be administered under fed conditions in both panels except for the morning intake on Day 3 in Panel 2 where it will be administered under fasting conditions. A washout period of at least 7 days between subsequent treatments will be observed. Safety (blood and urine tests, blood pressure, pulse, electrocardiogram, and physical examination) and tolerability evaluations will be recorded at regular intervals throughout the trial. Panel 1 (fasted condition) and Panel 2 (fed condition): a single dose of 800 mg DRV on Day 3 and 100 mg ritonavir once daily from Day 1 to 5. DRV will be formulated as the commercially available 400-mg tablet formulation (F030) or as the investigational 800-mg tablet formulation (G002). Ritonavir will be used as the commercially available melt-extrusion tablet containing ritonavir eq. 100 mg.

  3. Plasma concentrations of DRV after a single oral dose of 800-mg DRV on Day 3 in healthy volunteers in fed or fasted conditions

    Measured: measured on Day 3 to Day 6

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Incidence of all adverse events by treatment group

    Measured: Measured from Day 1 until end of trial

  2. Blood tests

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Darunavir (DRV) and ritonavir in people with Healthy, run by Tibotec Pharmaceuticals, Ireland at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 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 6 Feb 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 Germany. 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 100-mg ritonavir after a multiple oral dose on Days 1 to 5 in healthy volunteers in fed or fasted conditions (time frame: measured on Day 1 to Day 6). The study lists 3 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 NCT01308658, 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 6 Feb 2014.
