About this study

Official title: A Single-center, Open-label, 2-period Fixed-sequence Phase I Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Esomeprazole on the Pharmacokinetics of Pritelivir

To investigate the effect of esomeprazole (ESO) on the pharmacokinetics of pritelivir (PTV), and to investigate the safety and tolerability of PTV.

Read the detailed description

This was a single-center, open-label, 2-period, fixed-sequence Phase 1 trial in 16 healthy adult male and female subjects (at least 7 subjects per sex). In the first period, subjects received treatment 1 (T1; single dose of 100 mg PTV on Day 1). In the second period, subjects received treatment 2 (T2: 40 mg qd ESO from Day -3 to Day 1 followed by a single dose of 100 mg PTV on Day 1). The wash-out period between PTV administrations in T1 and T2 was at least 4 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. PK - Cmax

    Cmax - the maximum observed plasma concentration

    Measured: 15 days

  2. PK - AUC(0-infinity) and AUC(0-last)

    AUC0-∞ - area under the analyte vs time concentration curve from time of administration up to infinity, calculated as AUC0-∞ = AUC0-last + (Clast / λz)

    AUC0-last - area under the analyte vs. time concentration curve from time of administration up to the time of the last quantifiable concentration, calculated by linear up/ln down summation

    Measured: 15 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. PK - Tmax and Tlag

    tmax - time to reach the maximal observed analyte concentration and tlag - time period between the time of dosing and the time of the first measurable concentration

    Measured: 15 days

  2. PK - λz

    λz - the apparent terminal elimination rate constant, determined by linear regression of terminal points of the ln-linear analyte concentration-time curve

    Measured: 15 days

  3. PK t1/2z

    t1/2z - the apparent terminal elimination half-life calculated as: t1/2z = 0.693 / λz

    Measured: 15 days

  4. PK - CL/F

    CL/F - total apparent clearance of drug following single dose e.v. administration calculated as: CL/F = Dose / AUC0-∞

    Measured: 15 days

  5. V d/F

    V d/F - apparent volume of distribution after a single dose e.v. administration calculated as Vd/F = Dose e.v. / (λz * AUC0-∞)

    Measured: 15 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pritelivir and ESO and pritelivir in people with HSV Infection, run by AiCuris Anti-infective Cures AG 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 18 inclusion and 23 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 22 Feb 2024. 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 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 15 Sep 2023). 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?

PK - Cmax (time frame: 15 days). The study lists 2 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 22 Feb 2024.
