This will be achieved by the use of a card (similar to that used by the National Blood Transfusion Service), which asks a potential subject if they have reason to believe that they may fall into any category included on the card. If the verbal answer is in the affirmative then they will be excluded from the study.

Subjects will be advised to inform Pharmaceutical Profiles if their partner becomes pregnant within three months of them receiving the last dose of the study drug. Pharmaceutical Profiles will monitor the pregnancy to conclusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the concentration-time curve of nevirapine in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞)

    Measured: up to 72 hours after drug administration

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Maximum measured concentration of nevirapine in plasma (Cmax)

    Measured: up to 72 hours after drug administration

  2. Time from dosing to the maximum concentration of nevirapine in plasma (tmax)

    Measured: up to 72 hours after drug administration

  3. Area under the concentration-time curve of nevirapine in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz)

    Measured: up to 72 hours after drug administration

  4. Terminal elimination rate constant of nevirapine concentration in plasma (λz)

    Measured: up to 72 hours after drug administration

  5. Terminal half-life of nevirapine in plasma (t1/2)

    Measured: up to 72 hours after drug administration

  6. Mean residence time of nevirapine in the body after oral administration (MRTpo)

    Measured: up to 72 hours after drug administration

  7. Apparent clearance of nevirapine in the plasma after extravascular administration (CL/F)

    Measured: up to 72 hours after drug administration

  8. Apparent volume of distribution during the terminal elimination phase following an extravascular dose (Vz/F)

    Measured: up to 72 hours after drug administration

  9. Number of patients with adverse events

    Measured: up to 78 days

  10. Assessment of tolerability by investigator

    Measured: Days 1-4 of each treatment period and at the end-of-study visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Nevirapine suspension, into Enterion™ capsule and Nevirapine suspension in people with Healthy, 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 6 inclusion and 25 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 16 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 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?

Area under the concentration-time curve of nevirapine in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞) (time frame: up to 72 hours after drug administration). 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 16 Jul 2014.
