What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Midazolam When Administered Alone and With PF-07321332/Ritonavir

    Cmax for midazolam following single dose administration with and without PF-07321332/ritonavir was observed directly from data. Natural log-transformed Cmax for Midazolam were analyzed using a mixed effect model with sequence, period and treatment as fixed effects and participant within sequence as a random effect. The ratios (PF-07321332/ritonavir + midazolam [test]/midazolam [reference] and 90% CIs) were expressed as percentages.

    Measured: Midazolam: Day 1 Predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 hours postdose; Midazolam+PF-07321332/ritonavir: Day 5 predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose

  2. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Profile From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity Time (AUCinf) of Midazolam When Administered Alone and With PF-07321332/Ritonavir

    AUCinf for midazolam following single dose administration with and without PF-07321332/ritonavir was calculated by AUClast + (Clast/kel), where Clast was the predicted plasma concentration at the last quantifiable time point estimated from the log-linear regression analysis. Natural log-transformed AUCinf for Midazolam were analyzed using a mixed effect model with sequence, period and treatment as fixed effects and participant within sequence as a random effect. The ratios (PF-07321332/ritonavir + midazolam [test]/midazolam [reference] and 90% CIs) were expressed as percentages.

    Measured: Midazolam: Day 1 Predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 hours postdose; Midazolam+PF-07321332/ritonavir: Day 5 predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Profile From Time 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (Clast) (AUClast) of Midazolam When Administered Alone and With PF-07321332/Ritonavir

    AUClast for midazolam following single dose administration with and without PF-07321332/ritonavir was calculated by Linear/Log trapezoidal method. Natural log-transformed AUClast for Midazolam were analyzed using a mixed effect model with sequence, period and treatment as fixed effects and participant within sequence as a random effect. The ratios (PF-07321332/ritonavir + midazolam [test]/midazolam [reference] and 90% CIs) were expressed as percentages.

    Measured: Midazolam: Day 1 Predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 hours postdose; Midazolam+PF-07321332/ritonavir: Day 5 predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event was considered a TEAE if the event started during the effective duration of treatment. All events that start on or after the first dosing day and time/ start time, if collected, but before the last dose plus the lag time (28 days) were flagged as TEAEs. The algorithm did consider any events that started prior to the first dose date. Any events occurring following start of treatment or increasing in severity were counted as treatment emergent. Events that occur in a non-treatment period (for example, Washout or Follow-up) were counted as treatment emergent and attributed to the previous treatment taken.

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 28

  2. Number of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities

    The haematological, clinical chemistry (serum) and urinalysis safety tests were assessed against the criteria specified in the sponsor reporting standards to determine if there were any clinically significant laboratory abnormalities. The assessment took into account whether each participant's baseline test result was within or outside the laboratory reference range for the particular laboratory parameter. Baseline was defined as the last planned predose measurement taken in each study period.

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 28

  3. Number of Participants With Vital Signs Abnormalities

    Baseline was the last predose recording in each study period. Only post baseline values are included in this analysis

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 28

  4. Number of Participants With Electrocardiogram (ECG) Abnormalities

    Baseline and changes from baseline in PR, QT, QRS, heart rate and QTcF were summarized by treatment and time postdose. Baseline was defined as the average of the triplicate predose recordings in each study period. ECG endpoints and changes from baseline (QTcF, PR, QRS), over all measurements taken postdose, were also summarized descriptively by treatment using categories as defined in the Criteria for Safety Values of Potential Clinical Concern appendix of the protocol and for QTc values corresponding to ICH E14 thresholds, which are: QTcF (msec): 450<value≤480; 480<value≤500; >500; QTcF (msec) increase from baseline: 30<change≤60; change>60

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 28

  5. Cmax of Midazolam When Administered Alone and With Ritonavir

    Cmax for midazolam following single dose administration with and without ritonavir was observed directly form data. Natural log-transformed Cmax for Midazolam were analyzed using a mixed effect model with sequence, period and treatment as fixed effects and participant within sequence as a random effect. The ratios (ritonavir + midazolam [test]/midazolam [reference] and 90% CIs) were expressed as percentages.

    Measured: Midazolam: Day 1 Predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 hours postdose; Midazolam/ritonavir: Day 5 predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose

  6. AUCinf of Midazolam When Administered Alone and With Ritonavir

    AUCinf for midazolam following single dose administration with and without ritonavir was calculated by AUClast + (Clast/kel), where Clast was the predicted plasma concentration at the last quantifiable time point estimated from the log-linear regression analysis. Natural log-transformed AUCinf for Midazolam were analyzed using a mixed effect model with sequence, period and treatment as fixed effects and participant within sequence as a random effect. The ratios (ritonavir + midazolam [test]/midazolam [reference] and 90% CIs) were expressed as percentages.

    Measured: Midazolam: Day 1 Predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 hours postdose; Midazolam/ritonavir: Day 5 predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose

  7. AUClast of Midazolam When Administered Alone and With Ritonavir

    AUClast for midazolam following single dose administration with and without ritonavir was calculated by Linear/Log trapezoidal method. Natural log-transformed AUClast for Midazolam were analyzed using a mixed effect model with sequence, period and treatment as fixed effects and participant within sequence as a random effect. The ratios (ritonavir + midazolam [test]/midazolam [reference] and 90% CIs) were expressed as percentages.

    Measured: Midazolam: Day 1 Predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 hours postdose; Midazolam/ritonavir: Day 5 pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours post-dose

  8. Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of Midazolam When Administered Alone, With PF-07321332/Ritonavir, and With Ritonavir

    CL/F for midazolam following single dose administration with and without PF-07321332/ritonavir or ritonavir was calculated by Dose/AUCinf.

    Measured: Midazolam: Day 1 Predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 hours postdose; Midazolam+PF-07321332/ritonavir: Day 5 predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose

  9. Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F) of Midazolam When Administered Alone, With PF-07321332/Ritonavir, and With Ritonavir

    Vz/F for midazolam following single dose administration with and without PF-07321332/ritonavir or ritonavir was calculated by Dose/(AUCinf • kel).

    Measured: Midazolam: Day 1 Predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 hours postdose; Midazolam+PF-07321332/ritonavir: Day 5 predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose

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 6 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 Oct 2023. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Oct 2023). 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?

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Midazolam When Administered Alone and With PF-07321332/Ritonavir (time frame: Midazolam: Day 1 Predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36 hours postdose; Midazolam+PF-07321332/ritonavir: Day 5 predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours postdose). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05032950, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Oct 2023.
