About this study

Official title: A 2-Part, Open-Label, Singe-Dose Study to Investigate the Influence of Hepatic Insufficiency on the Pharmacokinetics of MK-1439

This study aimed to investigate the influence of hepatic insufficiency on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of doravirine (MK-1439). In Part 1, PK of doravirine in participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency was compared with that of healthy control subjects matched with regard to mean age and weight. If a clinically meaningful increase in exposure of doravirine was observed in participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency in Part 1, study Part 2 was to evaluate PK of doravirine in participants with mild hepatic insufficiency.

Conditions: HIV-1 Infection
Being tested: Doravirine

What participants receive

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

DoravirineDrug
Also called MK-1439
Following an overnight fast, a single tablet of 100 mg doravirine was be administered orally

Study groups in NCT02089659
Study group	Role	What they receive
Part 1: Moderate Hepatic Insufficiency	Experimental	Participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency receive a single oral dose of 100 mg doravirine on Day 1 of Part 1. All participants in this arm were to have moderate hepatic insufficiency based on the Child-Pugh scale. Receives: Drug: Doravirine
Part 1: Healthy Matched Control	Experimental	Healthy participants matched for age and weight receive a single oral dose of 100 mg doravirine on Day 1 of Part 1. Receives: Drug: Doravirine
Part 2: Mild Hepatic Insufficiency	Experimental	Participants with mild hepatic insufficiency receive a single oral dose of 100 mg doravirine on Day 1 of Part 1. All participants in this arm were to have mild hepatic insufficiency based on the Child-Pugh scale. This arm was to be enrolled and investigated only if a clinically meaningful increase in exposure of doravirine was observed in participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency in Part 1. Receives: Drug: Doravirine

Blood was collected for the determination of plasma doravirine using a liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric method

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Doravirine in people with HIV-1 Infection, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 12 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 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Dec 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From 0 Hours to Infinity (AUC0-∞) of Doravirine (time frame: Predose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours postdose for all participants and at 96, 120, and 144 hours postdose for participants with hepatic insufficiency). The study lists 4 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 NCT02089659, 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 28 Dec 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
