Trial summary

The purpose of the study is to look at the levels of the drug abacavir (ABC) in blood. Also, the study will look at the levels of carbovir triphosphate (CBV-TP), which is the active substance produced from ABC in the bodyâ s cells which helps prevent HIV from multiplying.

About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Two-Period, Crossover, Pharmacokinetic Study of Abacavir and Its Intracellular Anabolite Carbovir Triphosphate Following Once-Daily and Twice-Daily Administration of Abacavir in HIV-Infected Subjects.

The purpose of the study is to look at the levels of the drug abacavir (ABC) in blood. Also, the study will look at the levels of carbovir triphosphate (CBV-TP), which is the active substance produced from ABC in the bodyâ s cells which helps prevent HIV from multiplying. CBV-TP will be measured in specific blood cells. The amount of ABC and CBV-TP will be looked at when subjects receive ABC as a 300mg dose twice a day and compared with the levels when they receive ABC as a 600mg dose once a day.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the pharmacokinetics of intracellular CBV-TP at steady state following administration of 600 mg QD and 300 mg BID ABC-containing regimens in HIV infected adult subjects.

    Measured: throughout the study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. - To compare plasma concentrations of ABC, and intracellular CBV-TP - To assess the safety and tolerability of dosing with ABC 300mg BID and 600mg QD. - To assess potential gender effects in the pharmacokinetics of ABC.

    Measured: throughout the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing abacavir in people with HIV Infection, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 11 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 Oct 2008. 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 Kingdom. 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?

To assess the pharmacokinetics of intracellular CBV-TP at steady state following administration of 600 mg QD and 300 mg BID ABC-containing regimens in HIV infected adult subjects. (time frame: throughout the study). 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 Oct 2008.
