About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-label, Randomized, 2-panel, 4-way Crossover Study in Healthy Adult Subjects to Assess the Rilpivirine Relative Bioavailability Compared to the 25-mg Oral Tablet and the Food Effect Following Single Dose Administration of Oral Pediatric Formulation Candidates

The purpose of this study is to compare the rate and extent of absorption of rilpivirine in healthy adult participants following: 1) administration of a single dose of two different oral dispersible tablet formulation candidates and of an oral granules formulation with that following administration of a single dose of the 25-milligram (mg) oral tablet (EDURANT), after a standardized breakfast; 2) administration of a single dose of one selected oral formulation candidate (a dispersible tablet or granules) in different fed conditions (standardized breakfast or yoghurt) and in the fasted state and breakfast and 3) administration of a single dose of one selected oral formulation candidate (a dispersible tablet or granules) dispersed in water or in orange juice, in fed condition (standardized breakfast).

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1, open-label, randomized, 2-panel, 4-way crossover study in healthy adult participants to assess the relative bioavailability of rilpivirine following single dose administration of oral pediatric formulation candidates (two dispersible tablet formulations and one granules formulation), compared to the commercially available 25-mg tablet (EDURANT) and to assess the effect of food and different food constituents on the oral bioavailability of rilpivirine following single dose administration of one selected formulation candidate. The study will consist of 2 panels: Panel 1 and Panel 2. In each panel, participants will be randomized to receive treatment A, B, C, D and E, F, G, H, respectively. Pharmacokinetic parameters will be evaluated primarily. Safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    The Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration.

    Measured: Up to Hour 168

  2. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Time (AUC [0-last])

    The AUC (0-last) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time.

    Measured: Up to Hour 168

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC[0-infinity])

    The AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z); wherein AUC(last) is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time, C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration, and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant.

    Measured: Up to Hour 168

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax)

    The Tmax is defined as time to reach maximum observed analyte concentration.

    Measured: Up to Hour 168

  2. Elimination Rate Constant (Lambda[z])

    Lambda(z) is first-order elimination rate constant associated with the terminal portion of the curve, determined as the negative slope of the terminal log-linear phase of the drug concentration-time curve.

    Measured: Up to Hour 168

  3. Elimination Half-Life (t1/2)

    The elimination half-life (t1/2) is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by 1 half to its original concentration. It is associated with the terminal slope of the semi logarithmic drug concentration-time curve, and is calculated as 0.693/lambda(z).

    Measured: Up to Hour 168

  4. Number of Participants with Adverse Events

    An adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.

    Measured: From signing of the informed consent form up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (Day 1)

  5. Number of Participants with Taste Questionnaire Score

    The first part of the taste questionnaire rates sweetness, bitterness and flavour as well as overall acceptability in a 4-point scale (grading from worse to best). In the second part of the taste questionnaire the overall taste is assessed using a 5-point visual hedonic scale (categorical 5 point assessment).

    Measured: 15 minutes after study drug intake in each treatment period in both panels

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Rilpivirine Oral Tablet, Rilpivirine formulation G007 and Rilpivirine formulation G009-01 in people with Healthy, run by Janssen Sciences Ireland UC 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 3 Feb 2025. 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?

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) (time frame: Up to Hour 168). The study lists 3 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 3 Feb 2025.
