Who may be able to join

  • Healthy as determined by a responsible and experienced physician, based on a medical evaluation including [medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and cardiac monitoring]. A subject with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameter(s) which is/are not specifically listed in the inclusion or exclusion criteria, outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the Investigator agrees and documents that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures.
  • Male/females aged between 18 and 65 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
  • A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of: non-childbearing potential defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy [for this definition, "documented" refers to the outcome of the investigator's/designee's review of the subject's medical history for study eligibility, as obtained via a verbal interview with the subject or from the subject's medical records]; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea [in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) >40 milli international units per milliliter (MIU/mL) and estradiol <40 picograms (pg)/mL (<147 picomole per liter (pmol/L) is confirmatory]; Child-bearing potential with negative pregnancy test as determined by [serum or urine] human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test at screening or prior to dosing AND Agrees to use one of the contraception methods for an appropriate period of time (as determined by the product label or investigator) prior to the start of dosing to sufficiently minimize the risk of pregnancy at that point. Female subjects must agree to use contraception until 5 days post-last dose. OR has only same-sex partners, when this is her preferred and usual lifestyle.

  • History of sensitivity to any of the study medications, or components thereof or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Medical Monitor, contraindicates their participation. Subjects will allergy to tricyclic antidepressants should not be enrolled.
  • Where participation in the study would result in donation of blood or blood products in excess of 500 mL within a 56 day period.

  • The subject has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within the following time period prior to the first dosing day in the current study: 30 days, 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biological effect of the investigational product (whichever is longer).

About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open Label, Randomized, Three Period, Fixed Sequence Crossover Study to Evaluate the Effect of Carbamazepine on Dolutegravir Pharmacokinetics in Healthy Adult Subjects (200901)

This study will be a phase I, open label, three period, fixed sequence crossover study to evaluate the effect of Carbamazepine (CBZ) on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of Dolutegravir (DTG) and on the safety and tolerability of DTG. Subjects will have a screening visit within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug, three treatment periods, and a follow-up visit 7-14 days after the last dose of study drug. There is no washout between treatment periods.

What is being measured

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

  1. Steady state plasma DTG pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters

    PK parameters will include: Steady state plasma DTG concentration at the end of the dosing interval (Ctau), maximum concentration (Cmax), area under the time-concentration curve over the dosing interval [AUC(0-tau)], apparent clearance following oral dosing (CL/F), terminal phase half life (t1/2), concentration at time zero (C0) and minimum concentration (Cmin)

    Measured: Day 5 and Day 26

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change from baseline in 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG)

    Single 12-lead ECGs will be obtained at each timepoint

    Measured: Up to 40 days

  2. Change from baseline in vital signs

    Vital signs will include systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate

    Measured: Up to 40 days

  3. Number of subjects with adverse events (AEs)

    AEs will be assessed throughout the study

    Measured: Up to 40 days

  4. Toxicity grading of clinical laboratory tests

    Laboratory assessments will include haematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis parameters

    Measured: Up to 40 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing DTG and CBZ in people with Infection, Human Immunodeficiency Virus, run by ViiV Healthcare at 1 site in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 18 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 27 Jan 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 United States. 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?

Steady state plasma DTG pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters (time frame: Day 5 and Day 26). 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 NCT01967771, 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 27 Jan 2014.
