About this study

Official title: Phase I, Open-label Trial in Healthy Subjects to Evaluate the Drug-drug Interaction Between Ritonavir at Steady-state and TMC435350, a Viral Protease Inhibitor Against Hepatitis C Virus, After the First and the Last Dose of a Multiple Dosing Regimen

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the drug-drug interaction between steady-state concentrations of CYP3A4 or ritonavir and TMC435350 after its first and the last dose of the multiple dosing regimen and to explore the short term safety and tolerability of multiple doses of 200 mg of TMC435350 administered alone and in combination with 100 mg of ritonavir.

Read the detailed description

This trial is a Phase I, open label trial (meaning that both the research physician and study participants will know which medication is being administered during the trial) in 12 healthy volunteers (referred to as participants) to investigate the effect of ritonavir, a marketed product used in several HIV medications, on the plasma levels of TMC435350, a new investigational drug in process of development for the treatment of hepatitis-C virus (HCV) infections. TMC435350 is a protease inhibitor (PI), a class of drugs that selectively inhibit the replication of the virus thereby inhibiting the progression of HCV infection. Plasma levels of TMC435350 are circulating levels of TMC435350 in the blood that are important for the antiviral activity of TMC435350. Ritonavir has the ability to increase the circulating levels of other compounds administered on the same day as Ritonavir. The trial will consist of 2 sequential sessions (Session 1 and Session 2) and all participants enrolled in the study will enter each session. In Session 1, participants will take TMC435350 200mg orally (by mouth) once daily for 7 days. There will be a waiting period of at least 7 days to allow any drug left in the body after the last treatment in Session 1 to be eliminated before the start of Session 2 (referred to as a "washout period"). In Session 2, participants will take ritonavir 100 mg orally twice daily on Days 1 to 15 and TMC435350 200mg once daily on Days 6 to 12. All study drugs in both treatment sessions will be taken under fed conditions (i. e., participants will eat a standard breakfast within approximately 30 minutes before they take study drug). Full pharmacokinetic profiles of TMC435350 (to investigate how the drug moves through the body, including the absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of the drug) will be determined from blood samples obtained on Days 1 and 7 of Session 1 and on Days 6 and 12 of Session 2. Safety and tolerability will be recorded continuously. The total duration of treatment in the study for each participant will be approximately 30 days (includes 7 days of treatment in Session 1, 16 days of treatment in Session 2, and a washout period of at least 7 days between treatment sessions).

  • Ritonavir 100 mgDrug

    Each patient will receive 100 mg (1 capsule) of ritonavir twice daily orally from Day 1 until Day 15 of Session 2

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma concentration of TMC435350

    In Session 1, the plasma concentration of TMC435350 is measured in the absence of ritonavir.

    Measured: Days 1 and 7 of Session 1

  2. Plasma concentration of TMC435350

    In Session 2, the plasma concentration of TMC435350 is measured in the presence of ritonavir.

    Measured: Days 6 and 16 of Session 2

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of patients reporting adverse events (AEs) as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Adverse events will be reported from the time the participant signs the Informed Consent Form (ICF) up to the completion of the last trial-related visit which will be approximately 86 days (includes up to 21 days during the screening period, 7 days during treatment session 1, at least 7 days between treatment sessions, 16 days during treatment session 2, and for up to 35 days after the last dose in treatment session 2). The incidence of AEs under Session 1 will be compared with the incidence of AEs under session 2

    Measured: Up to approximately 86 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TMC435350 200 mg and Ritonavir 100 mg in people with Healthy, run by Tibotec Pharmaceuticals, 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 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 14 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 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?

Plasma concentration of TMC435350 (time frame: Days 1 and 7 of Session 1). The study lists 2 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 14 Oct 2013.
