Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the importance of uptake drug transporters in the drug disposition of warfarin. We predict that the elimination of warfarin will be decreased when co-dosed with an inhibitor of uptake drug transporters. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effects of Rifampin on the Pharmacokinetics of Warfarin in Healthy Volunteers.

The purpose of this study is to determine the importance of uptake drug transporters in the drug disposition of warfarin. We predict that the elimination of warfarin will be decreased when co-dosed with an inhibitor of uptake drug transporters.

What is being measured

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

  1. S- and R- Enantiomers of Warfarin (S-warfarin and R-warfarin) Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) From 0 to 12 Hours.

    Uptake effects on warfarin pharmacokinetics during time period of hepatic organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) inhibition by rifampin. Blood collection 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours after warfarin dosing.

    Measured: 0-12 hours after warfarin dosing

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity of S-warfarin and R-warfarin

    Analysis of all concentration-time data. Blood collection 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours after warfarin dosing.

    Measured: 0-120 hours after warfarin dosing

  2. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of S-warfarin and R-warfarin

    Blood collection 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours after warfarin dosing.

    Measured: 0-120 hours after warfarin dosing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing warfarin plus rifampin and warfarin in people with Healthy, run by University of California, San Francisco 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 11 inclusion and 15 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 17 Jul 2013. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Jul 2013). 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?

S- and R- Enantiomers of Warfarin (S-warfarin and R-warfarin) Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) From 0 to 12 Hours. (time frame: 0-12 hours after warfarin dosing). 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 17 Jul 2013.
