Tipranavir/Ritonavir Low Dose Pharmacokinetics in Treatment Naive Patients

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: HIV Infections

• Registration Number: NCT00530920
• Lead Sponsor: Boehringer Ingelheim

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to identify an optimal dose combination(s) of tipranavir (TPV) and ritonavir (RTV) for antiretroviral treatment naïve HIV-1 infected patients that can be used in pivotal trial by assessing the steady-state pharmacokinetics and short-term efficacy and safety

Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: COMPLETED
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 85

Inclusion Criteria

• Signed informed consent in accordance with GCP and local regulatory requirements prior to trial participation.

• HIV-1 infected men and non-pregnant women who are treatment naïve, with positive serology (EIA) confirmed by Western blot.

• Age > 18 and < 65 years.

• CD4 > 200 cells/mm3

• Viral load (HIV-1 mRNA viral load) > 5,000 copies/mL.

• Ability to swallow multiple large capsules without difficulty.

• Acceptable laboratory values that indicate adequate baseline organ function at screening visit.

• Laboratory values are considered to be acceptable if the severity of any parameter is = < Grade 2, based on the DAIDS/ACTG Grading Scale (see Appendix 10.2).

• Acceptable medical history, physical examination, and 12-lead ECG at screening

• Willingness to abstain from the following starting 2 weeks prior to administration of any study medication and up until the end of the study:

  o Grapefruit or grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, St. John's Wort, and Milk Thistle.

• Willingness to abstain from alcohol 3 days prior to administration of any study medication up to the end of the study.

• Willingness to abstain from the following starting 3 days prior to PK sampling:

  o Garlic supplements and methylxanthine containing foods or drinks (including coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks, chocolate, etc.).

• Willingness to abstain from over-the-counter herbal medications for the duration of the study.

• Willingness to abstain from any over the counter medication 7 days prior to administration of any study medication (including vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements and antacids) during the study until completion of the post study assessments.

Exclusion Criteria

• Female patients of reproductive potential who:

  • Have positive serum pregnancy test.
  • Have not been using a barrier method of contraception for at least 3 months prior to participation in the study.
  • Are not willing to use a reliable method of barrier contraception (such as diaphragm with spermicidal cream/jelly or condoms with spermicidal foam), during and 60 days after completion/termination of the trial.
  • Are breast-feeding.

• Suspected or documented seroconversion within last 6 months

• Participation in another trial with an investigational medicine within 2 months prior to Day 0 of this study.

• Use of any pharmacological contraceptive (including oral, patch or injectable contraceptives) within 1 month prior to Day 0 and for the duration of the study.

• Use of hormone replacement therapy within 1 month prior to Day 0 and anytime during the study.

• History of acute illness within 30 days prior to Day 0.

• Have evidence of active or acute HBV or HCV.

• Alcohol or substance abuse within 1 year prior to screening or during the study.

• Patients with a history of any illness or allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose additional risk in administering TPV.

• Patients who have taken (within 7 days prior to Day 0) any over-the-counter or prescription medication that, in the opinion of the investigator in consultation with the BI clinical monitor, might interfere with absorption, distribution, or metabolism of the study medications.

• Known hypersensitivity to any ingredients of the test drug.

• Inability to adhere to the protocol.

• Genotypic resistance to tipranavir (defined as a TPV mutation score > 4).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Viral Load (log10 Copies/mL) Change From Baseline (Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF))	Baseline (Day 0) to Final (Day 14)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Apparent Oral Clearance I(Cl/F) of Tipranavir	Final (Day 14)	Tipranavir pharmacokinetics - Clearance (CL) is defined as the dose of a drug divided by the area-under-the-concentration-time curve (AUC), ie. CL = Dose / AUC. For extravascu-lar models the fraction of dose absorbed cannot be estimated, therefore "clear-ance" for these models is actually Cl/F where F is the fraction of the drug dose which is absorbed.
Area Under the Curve(AUC) of Tipranavir 24 h for Once Daily (QD) and AUC 12 h for Twice Daily (BID)	Final (Day 13 for QD, Day 14 for BID)	Tipranavir (TPV) pharmacokinetics
Concentration-24 Hour (hr) Post Dose of Tipranavir - (Cp 24 h for QD and 12 hr Post Dose (CP 12h) for BID	Final (Day 13 for QD, Day 14 for BID)	TPV pharmacokinetics
Trough Concentration (Cmin) of Tipranavir	Final (Day 13 for QD, Day 14 for BID)	TPV pharmacokinetics
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Tipranavir	Final (Day 13 for QD, Day 14 for BID)	TPV pharmacokinetics
Volume of Distribution (V/F) of Tipranavir	Final (Day 14)	Tipranavir pharmacokinetics
Terminal Half-Life (t1/2) of Tipranavir	Final (Day 14)	Tipranavir pharmacokinetics
Time to Cmax (Tmax) of Tipranavir	Final (Day 14)	Tipranavir pharmacokinetics

Apparent Oral Clearance I(Cl/F) of Ritonavir	Final (Day 13 for QD, Day 14 for BID)	Ritonavir pharmacokinetics
Volume of Distribution (V/F) of Ritonavir	Final (Day 14)	Ritonavir pharmacokinetics
Terminal Half-Life (t1/2) of Ritonavir	Final (Day 14)	Ritonavir pharmacokinetics
Tmax of Ritonavir	Final (Day 14)	Ritonavir pharmacokinetics
