Bioequivalence Study of Tipranavir Stored at Controlled Temperature Compared With Tipranavir Stored at Controlled Refrigerated Conditions, Orally Co-administered With Ritonavir in Healthy Male and Female Volunteers

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy
• Interventions: Drug: TPV - Refrigerated conditions; Drug: TPV - Room condition; Drug: Ritonavir (RTV)

• Registration Number: NCT02253888
• Lead Sponsor: Boehringer Ingelheim

Brief Summary

The objective of this trial was to establish the bioequivalence of Tipranavir (TPV) 250 mg self emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) capsules that had been stored at a controlled temperature of 30°C and controlled relative humidity (RH) of 70% in comparison with TPV 250 mg SEDDS capsules stored at controlled refrigerated conditions between 2°C and 8°C

Inclusion Criteria

1. Healthy males and females with a complete medical history, including physical examination, vital signs (BP, PR), 12-lead ECG and clinical laboratory tests that have:

   • No findings that are abnormal or of clinical relevance

Laboratory values are considered acceptable if the severity is less than or equal to Grade 1, according to the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) Division of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases / National Institutes of Health) (DAIDS) Grading Scale and within normal reference ranges for other laboratory parameters not defined by DAIDS. Participation of subjects with abnormal laboratory values greater than Grade 1 (e.g., Creatine phosphokinase (CPK), amylase, triglycerides) is subject to approval by the Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (BIPI) clinical monitor

2. Age ≥18 and ≤60 years

3. Body mass index (BMI) ≥18.5 and ≤35.0 kg/m2

4. Signed and dated written informed consent before admission to the study, in accordance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and local legislation concerning volunteers who are capable of understanding and giving informed consent

5. Willingness of subjects to abstain from ingesting the following foods and substances beginning 2 weeks before administration of any study medication and until the end of the study: grapefruit or grapefruit juice, red wine, Seville oranges, St. John's Wort and Milk Thistle

6. Willingness of subjects to abstain from use of alcohol within 72 hours before administration of study medication and to the end of the study

7. Willingness of subjects to abstain from the following substances within 72 hours before administration of study medication: garlic supplements and methylxanthine containing foods or drinks (including coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks, chocolate, etc.)
