About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-label, Randomized, Parallel-group Study in Healthy Subjects to Investigate the Effect of Different Particle Sizes on the Single-dose Pharmacokinetics of Rilpivirine After Intramuscular Injection of a Long-acting Nanosuspension

The main purpose of this study is to characterize the single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of rilpivirine (RPV) after intramuscular (IM) injection of rilpivirine long-acting parenteral formulation (RPV LA) nanosuspensions with different particle size distribution (PSD), in healthy adult participants.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 1, open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), randomized (study medication is assigned by chance), parallel-group, sequential study in healthy adult participants to characterize the single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of rilpivirine (RPV) after intramuscular (IM) injection of RPV LA nanosuspensions with different particle size distributions (PSD), in healthy adult participants. A total of 110 healthy adult participants will be enrolled in this study. The study will consist of 2 treatment sessions in a fixed sequential order: Session 1- all participants will receive a single oral dose of rilpivirine 25 milligram (mg) as oral immediate release solution on Day 1; Session 2- the participants will be randomized in session 2 on Day 1 in a 1:1:1:1:1 ratio to Treatments A, B, C, D and E. Each treatment group will receive a single IM injection of RPV LA on Day 1 of session 2. Session 1 and 2 will be separated by a washout period of at least 14 days. The total study duration for each participant will be approximately 9.5 months. Safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Session 2: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    The Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 168, 216, 264, 336, 408, 528, 672, 1344, 2016, 2688, 3360, 4032, 4704, 5376, and 6048 hours post-dose

  2. Session 2: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero (Day 1) to Day 28 (AUC[0-d28])

    The AUC (0-d28) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time of administration up to Day 28 postdose.

    Measured: 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 168, 216, 264, 336, 408, and 528 hours post-dose

  3. Session 2: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Time (AUC [0-last])

    Measured: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 48, 72, 120, 168, hours post-dose

  4. Session 1: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Time AUC (0-last)

    The AUC (0-last) is the area under the plasma concentration time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 48, 72, 120 and 168 hours post-dose

  5. Session 1: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero To Infinite Time AUC (0-infinity)

    The AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the plasma concentration time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z). wherein AUC(last) is area under the plasma concentration time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time, C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration, and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 48, 72, 120 and 168 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Rilpivirine and Rilpivirine Long-acting Parenteral Formulation in people with Healthy, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 2 sites 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 3 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Session 2: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) (time frame: Pre-dose, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 168, 216, 264, 336, 408, 528, 672, 1344, 2016, 2688, 3360, 4032, 4704, 5376, and 6048 hours post-dose). 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?
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 3 Feb 2025.
