Genetic Predictors of Raltegravir Penetration Into Cerebrospinal Fluid
- Registration Number
- NCT00729924
- Lead Sponsor
- Vanderbilt University
- Brief Summary
This study is being done to find out how much of the drug raltegravir (RGV) gets into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), compared to how much get into the blood and to find out if normal changes in a certain gene in your body affects how much RGV gets into the CSF.
- Detailed Description
The multidrug efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is expressed in the blood-brain barrier where it limits entry of substrate drugs into the central nervous system. Raltegravir (MK-0158), a new HIV-1 integrase inhibitor and potentially major addition to the therapeutic armamentarium against HIV, is a substrate for P-gp. Studies are warranted to elucidate the relevance of P-gp transport for raltegravir in the central nervous system.

Group Intervention Description Open label oral raltegravir Raltegravir Raltegravir a single 400 mg pill taken orally every 12 hours for a total of 7 days.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Penetration of Raltegravir (RGV) Into Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Based on Plasma Area-under-the-curve. Day 7 The primary outcome for this study was the ratio of the 4-hour CSF concentration value (ng/mL) to the partial plasma area-under-the-curve 0-4h value (h\*ng/mL).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Penetration of Raltegravir (RGV) Into Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Based on Single Plasma Timepoint. Day 7 This outcome was the ratio of the 4-hour CSF concentration value (ng/mL) to the 4-hour plasma concentration value (ng/mL).
