Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 55 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Participants should be healthy on the basis of physical examination, medical history, vital signs, electrocardiogram, and the results of blood biochemistry and hematology tests and a urinalysis performed at screening
  • Men must agree to use a highly effective method of birth control (ie, male condom with either female intrauterine device, diaphragm, cervical cap or hormone based contraceptives by their female partner), and to not donate sperm during the study and for 3 months after receiving the last dose of study drug
  • Women must be postmenopausal for at least 2 years, or be surgically sterile (have had a total hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy, tubal ligation/bilateral tubal clips without reversal operation, or otherwise be incapable of becoming pregnant)
  • Women must have a negative pregnancy test at screening
  • Participants must be non-smoking for at least 3 months prior to screening

Who cannot join

  • A positive HIV-1 or HIV-2 test at screening
  • History or suspicion of alcohol or barbiturate, amphetamine, recreational or narcotic drug use which in the Investigator's opinion would compromise subject safety and/or compliance with study procedures
  • Hepatitis A, B or C infection (confirmed by hepatitis A IgM, HBsAg, or hepatitis C virus antibody, respectively) at screening
  • Currently active clinically significant gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neurologic, psychiatric, metabolic, endocrine, renal, hepatic, respiratory, inflammatory or infectious disease
  • Any history of tuberculosis, ocular herpes, or uveitis
  • Currently significant diarrhea or gastric stasis that in the Investigator's opinion could influence drug absorption or bioavailability

About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-Label Study in Healthy Subjects, to Explore the Pharmacokinetics of Different Dosing Regimens of Rilpivirine in Combination With Rifabutin, at Steady-State

The purpose of this study is to explore the pharmacokinetics of different dosing regimens of rilpivirine in combination with rifabutin in healthy participants.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I, open-label (the participant will know the identity of the treatment they receive), 3-period study to investigate the pharmacokinetic (what the body does to the medication) interaction of steady-state (constant concentrations in your blood resulting from a fixed dosing regimen) rilpivirine and steady-state rifabutin. Twenty healthy participants will be enrolled and will receive 3 different treatments (treatment A: rilpivirine 25 mg once daily administered daily for 11 days; treatment B: rilpivirine 50 mg once daily administered for 11 days + rifabutin 300 mg daily administered for 17 days; treatment C: rilpivirine (in a regimen to be determined based on an interim analysis of treatments A and B) administered for 11 days + rifabutin 300 mg daily administered for 17 days). All 20 participants will be randomized (the study drug is assigned by chance) to receive treatments A (10 participants) and treatment B (10 participants) and there will be a washout period of at least 21 days between treatments A and B. After all participants have completed treatments A and B, there will be an interim analysis to decide upon the dosing regimen for rilpivirine in treatment C (the rilpivirine regimen in treatment C could be either once daily or twice daily with a total daily dose of rilpivirine between 25 and 75 mg). All 20 participants will receive treatment C. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated throughout the study.

What participants receive

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

  • RilpivirineDrug

    Type=exact number, unit=mg, number=25, 50, and will be determined after treatment A and B analysis form=tablet, route=oral. Once or twice daily with a total daily dose of rilpivirine between 25 and 75 mg will be administered for 11 days.

  • RifabutinDrug

    Type=exact number, unit=mg, number=150, form=capsule, route=oral. Two capsules daily will be administered for 17 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetics of different dosing regimens of rilpivirine in combination with rifabutin, at steady-state

    Pharmacokinetics of different dosing regimens of rilpivirine in combination with rifabutin, at steady-state will be evaluated.

    Measured: Up to 168 hours (postdose)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Number of participants with adverse events will be evaluated to assess safety and tolerability.

    Measured: Up to 87 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Rilpivirine and Rifabutin in people with Healthy, run by Janssen R&D Ireland at 1 site in Belgium.

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 6 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 28 Mar 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 Belgium. 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?

Pharmacokinetics of different dosing regimens of rilpivirine in combination with rifabutin, at steady-state (time frame: Up to 168 hours (postdose)). 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 28 Mar 2014.
