About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, Open-Label, 3-Panel, Randomized, Pivotal Crossover Study to Assess the Bioequivalence of Darunavir When Co-Administrated With Cobicistat as Either a Fixed Dose Combination Tablet (G006) or as Single Agents Under Fed and Fasted Conditions in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the single-dose pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of darunavir 800 mg when administered as a fixed dose combination relative to 2 x 400 mg tablets of the commercial tablet formulation, in the presence of 150 mg cobicistat, (under fed and fasted conditions) in healthy participants.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized (the study drug is assigned by chance), open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), 3-panel, single-center, single-dose, crossover (method used to switch patients from one treatment arm to another in a clinical trial) study in 134 healthy adult participants. The study consists of 3 phases including a screening phase of approximately 3 weeks (Days -21 to -1) followed by an open-label treatment phase consisting of 3 panels with 2 single-dose treatment sessions of 5 days each (Days -1 to 4) separated by a washout period of at least 7 days, and a follow-up period occurring 7 to 10 days after last intake of study drugs. The study consists of 3 panels. In each panel participants will be randomly be assigned to 1 of 2 treatment sequences (AB or BA for Panel 1; CD or DC for Panel 2; and EF or FE for Panel 3). Participants will receive either single-dose darunavir 800 mg as 2 x 400 mg tablets and cobicistat 150 mg tablet or single-dose darunavir/cobicistat 800/150 mg as tablet in each panel (under fed and fasted conditions).

  3. Comparison of actual sampling time to reach the maximum plasma analyte concentration (tmax) of darunavir as a fixed dose combination relative to 2 tablets of darunavir (400 mg), in the presence of cobicistat (150 mg)

    The pharmacokinetic parameter (tmax) of darunavir will be compared as a fixed dose combination relative to 2 tablets of darunavir (400 mg), in the presence of cobicistat (150 mg) for assessment of bioequivalance.

    Measured: Up to 27 Days

  4. Area under curve from time of administration up to the last time point with a measurable plasma analyte concentration (AUClast) of darunavir as a fixed dose combination relative to 2 tablets of darunavir (400 mg), in the presence of cobicistat (150 mg)

    The pharmacokinetic parameter (AUClast) of darunavir will be compared as a fixed dose combination relative to 2 tablets of darunavir (400 mg), in the presence of cobicistat (150 mg).

    Measured: Up to 27 Days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerabilty

    Measured: Up to 27 Days

  2. Evaluation of plasma pharmacokinetics of cobicistat with darunavir when both administered as a fixed dose combination tablet

    Plasma pharmacokinetics of cobicistat with darunavir when both administered as a fixed dose combination tablet under fed conditions in healthy participants will be evaluated.

    Measured: Up to 27 Days

  3. Evaluation of plasma pharmacokinetics of cobicistat with darunavir when both administered as a single agents

    Plasma pharmacokinetics of cobicistat with darunavir when both administered as a single agents under fed conditions in healthy participants will be evaluated.

    Measured: Up to 27 Days

  4. Evaluation of plasma pharmacokinetics of cobicistat with darunavir when both administered as a fixed dose combination tablet

    Plasma pharmacokinetics of cobicistat with darunavir when both administered as a fixed dose combination tablet under fasted conditions in healthy participants will be evaluated.

    Measured: Up to 27 Days

  5. Evaluation of plasma pharmacokinetics of cobicistat with darunavir when both administered as a single agents

    Plasma pharmacokinetics of cobicistat with darunavir when both administered as a single agents under fasted conditions in healthy participants will be evaluated

    Measured: Up to 27 Days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing darunavir and cobicistat in people with Healthy Participants, run by Janssen R&D Ireland at 1 site in Belgium.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 4 Mar 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 Belgium. 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?

Comparison of maximum plasma analyte concentration (Cmax) of darunavir as a fixed dose combination relative to 2 tablets of darunavir (400 mg), in the presence of cobicistat (150 mg) (time frame: Up to 27 Days). 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 4 Mar 2013.
