Pharmacokinetic Study of Rosuvastatin and Lopinavir/Ritonavir in HIV Patients

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Hyperlipidemia
HIV Infections
Registration Number
NCT00184951
Lead Sponsor
Radboud University Medical Center
Brief Summary

open-label, multiple dose, single-group, 12 week trial in HIV-infected patients with hyperlipidemia while using lopinavir/ritonavir; both male or female subjects.

Detailed Description

To determine the effect of rosuvastatin on plasma lipids, lipoproteins, and endothelial function in HIV-infected patients on stable lopinavir/ritonavir therapy and to evaluate the safety of combined use of rosuvastatin and lopinavir/ritonavir. Also to determine the effect of lopinavir/ritonavir on the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin compared to historical controls an to determine the effect of rosuvastatin on the pk of lopinavir/ritonavir compared to historical controls and by intrapatient comparison.
