Effects of TPV/r on the Pharmacokinetics of Carbamazepine in Healthy Adult Volunteers
- Registration Number
- NCT02253849
- Lead Sponsor
- Boehringer Ingelheim
- Brief Summary
Study to assess the steady-state pharmacokinetics of carbamazepine (CBZ) at 200 mg or 100 mg twice daily, depending on tolerability, and administered alone and in combination with tipranavir/ritonavir (TPV/r) after a single dose (500/200 mg) and at steady-state (500/200 mg twice-daily)
