About this study

Official title: An Open-label Single-Center, 4-Period William's Cross-Over Design Drug Interaction Trial to Determine the Effects of Sorbitol-Containing Solutions on Lamivudine Exposure Following Administration of Lamivudine Oral Solution in Healthy Adult Subjects

Lamivudine (3TC) is a nucleoside analogue indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in adults and children. Documented literature elucidates that simultaneous administration of multiple sorbitol-containing products could increase the potential for a significant interaction and may contribute to the lower 3TC exposures.

In this study several sorbitol doses (3.2 gram (g), 10.2 g, and 13.4 g solutions) will be administered with lamivudine to investigate dose dependency and mimic the situation where multiple sorbitol-containing antiretroviral medications may be co-administered with lamivudine. It will be open label, randomized, 4-way crossover (by William's design method) design at a single centre. Randomized participants will receive a single dose of each of four treatments after wash out period of minimum 7 days.

ANOVA, considering treatment and period as fixed effects and participant as random effect, was performed using Mixed Linear Models procedure to compare the plasma lamivudine CL/F

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 3 in each treatment period

  5. Time to Observed Maximum Lamivudine Plasma Concentration (Tmax), Time of Last Measurable Plasma Concentration (Tlast) and Absorption Lag Time in Plasma (Tlag)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Lamivudine and Sorbitol 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 6 inclusion and 20 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 15 May 2017. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 15 May 2017). 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?

Plasma Lamivudine Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve (AUC) From Time Zero to the Last Quantifiable Time Point (AUC[0-t]), AUC From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC[0-inf]) and AUC From Time Zero to 24 Hours (AUC[0-24]) (time frame: Day 1 to Day 3 in each treatment period). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02634073, 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 15 May 2017.
