About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-label, Randomized, 2-panel, Sequential Treatment Study in Healthy Subjects to Investigate the Potential Pharmacokinetic Interactions Between Multiple Doses of Phenytoin or Carbamazepine and Telaprevir at Steady-state

The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential pharmacokinetic (what the body does to the drug) interactions between multiple doses of phenytoin 200 mg every 12 hours or carbamazepine 200 mg every 12 hours and telaprevir 750 mg every 8 hours at steady-state (constant concentration of medication in the blood) in healthy participants.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I, open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), randomized (the study medication is assigned by chance), 2-panel, sequential treatment study. In this study 24 healthy participants will be randomly assigned equally to 2 panels. In Panel 1 the participants will receive telaprevir in Part 1 (telaprevir 750 mg every 8 hours from Day 1 to Day 9 followed by a single 750 mg dose in the morning on Day 10) and phenytoin/telaprevir in Part 2 (phenytoin 200 mg every 12 hours from Day 1 to Day 16 followed by a single 200-mg dose in the morning on Day 17; and telaprevir 750 mg every 8 hours from Day 8 to Day 16 followed by a single 750 mg dose in the morning on Day 17). In Panel 2 the participants will receive telaprevir (telaprevir 750 mg every 8 hours from Day 1 to Day 9 followed by a single 750 mg dose in the morning on Day 10) and carbamazepine/ telaprevir (carbamazepine 200 mg every 12 hours from Day 1 to Day 16 followed by a single 200-mg dose in the morning on Day 17; and telaprevir 750 mg every 8 hours from Day 8 to Day 16 followed by a single 200-mg dose in the morning on Day 17). In both panels, Part 1 and Part 2 are separated by a washout period of at least 2 weeks and maximum 4 weeks. Safety and tolerability will be assessed by evaluating adverse events, electrocardiogram, clinical laboratory examinations, vital signs and physical examination throughout the study period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Telaprevir, Phenytoin and Carbamazepine in people with Healthy Participants, run by Janssen Infectious Diseases BVBA at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 24 Oct 2013. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Observed maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of telaprevir. (time frame: Part 1: predose (Day 1, 8, 9 , and 10) and post dose 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, and 8h(Day 1 and Day 10); Part 2: predose (Day 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, and 17) and post dose 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, and 12h (Day 7, 8, and 17)). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Oct 2013.
