About this study

Official title: Relative Bioavailability Study of a Tablet Formulation vs. Pediatric Granule Formulation of Dolutegravir 50 mg and Effect of Different Types of Water Plus Infant Formula on the Pediatric Granule Formulation in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers

Dolutegravir (DTG, GSK1349572) is an integrase inhibitor currently in Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. A granule formulation has been developed as an alternative to the current tablet formulation for administration in pediatric populations.

This is a single-center, randomized, open-label, 5-way crossover study in healthy adult subjects. The study will evaluate the relative bioavailability of a 50 mg granule formulation of dolutegravir when administered 1) directly to mouth; 2) with purified water; 3) with Contrex brand water; and 4) with milk-based infant formula compared to the current 50 mg tablet formulation administered with tap water. Safety evaluations and serial PK samples will be collected during each treatment period. A taste assessment of the granule will also be performed. A follow-up visit will occur 5-7 days after the last dose of study drug.

Pharmacokinetic assessments during the study will include area under the concentration-time curve from time zero (pre-dose) extrapolated to infinite time (AUC(0-infinity)), area under the concentration-time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to last time of quantifiable concentration within a subject across all treatments (AUC(0-t)), maximum observed concentration (Cmax), terminal phase half-life (t½), lag time before observation of drug concentrations in sampled matrix (tlag), time of occurrence of Cmax (tmax), concentration at 24 hours post-dose (C24), and apparent clearance following oral dosing (CL/F).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dolutegravir 50 mg tabletDrug

    Dolutegravir is an experimental drug in the integrase inhibitor class for the treatment of HIV.

  • Dolutegravir 50 mg oral granulesDrug

    Dolutegravir is an experimental drug in the integrase inhibitor class for the treatment of HIV.

Study groups in NCT01382238
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Single armExperimentalSubjects will have a screening visit within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug, five treatment periods containing a single dose of study drug, followed by 48 hours of serial PK collection. In the 5 treatment periods subjects will receive DTG granule formulation 1) directly to mouth; 2) with purified water; 3) with Contrex brand water; and 4) with milk-based infant formula. They will also receive the current 50 mg tablet formulation administered with tap water. These treatments will be administered in a random order. Subjects will check out of the unit on Day 3 after the 48 hour PK sample in each period. Study periods will be separated by at least 5 days. Subjects will have a follow-up visit 5-7 days after last dose of DTG given.
Receives: Drug: Dolutegravir 50 mg tablet; Drug: Dolutegravir 50 mg oral granules

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dolutegravir 50 mg tablet and Dolutegravir 50 mg oral granules in people with Infections, Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Herpesviridae, 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 16 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 19 Sep 2011. 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?

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?

Plasma DTG AUC(0-infinity), AUC(0-t), and Cmax (time frame: 48 hours post dose). 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 19 Sep 2011.
