About this study

Official title: An Investigation of the Potential Pharmacokinetic Interaction Between Nevirapine (VIRAMUNE®) and Saquinavir-sgc (Fortovase®) in HIV-1 Infected Patients

The objectives of this study are to determine the effects of nevirapine on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of saquinavir-sgc and to determine the effects of saquinavir-sgc on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of nevirapine. This study will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics of nevirapine in combination with saquinavir-sgc compared to historical controls treated with nevirapine but without saquinavir-sgc.

    Measured: up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28

  2. Time of maximum concentration (Tmax)

    Measured: up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28

  3. Minimum observed concentration (Cmin)

    Measured: up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28

  4. Area under the plasma concentration time profile over the steady-state dosing interval (AUCτ)

    Measured: up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28

  5. Systemic clearance (Cl/F)

    Measured: up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in HIV RNA levels

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Nevirapine and Saquinavir-sgc in people with HIV Infections, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.

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 12 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2014. 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?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Maximum observed concentration (Cmax) (time frame: up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28). The study lists 5 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 Jul 2014.
