A Pharmacokinetic Study on Co-administration of Tamiflu (Oseltamivir) and Rimantadine in Healthy Volunteers

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy Volunteer
• Interventions: Drug: oseltamivir [Tamiflu]; Drug: rimantadine

• Registration Number: NCT01172847
• Lead Sponsor: Hoffmann-La Roche

Brief Summary

This open label, randomized, three-period crossover study will evaluate the effect of co-administration of Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and rimantadine on the pharmacokinetics of Tamiflu and rimantadine. Healthy volunteers will receive multiple oral doses of Tamiflu, rimantadine or Tamiflu plus rimantadine in random order, with a minimum wash-out period of 7 days between treatments. Anticipated time on study is up to 11 weeks.

C	rimantadine	-

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Steady State Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From 0 to 12 Hours After Dosing (AUC0-12) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate	Pre-dose; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post-dose on Day 5	Oseltamivir carboxylate is active metabolite of oseltamivir. AUC0-12 of oseltamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate were calculated following the administration of oseltamivir alone or in combination with rimantadine, using the linear trapezoidal rule.
Steady State Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From 0 to 12 Hours After Dosing (AUC0-12) of Rimantadine	Pre-dose; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post-dose on Day 5	AUC0-12 of rimantadine was calculated following the administration of rimantadine alone or in combination with oseltamivir, using the linear trapezoidal rule.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Oseltamivir and Oseltamivir Carboxylate	Pre-dose; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post-dose on Day 5	Oseltamivir carboxylate is active metabolite of oseltamivir. Cmax of oseltamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate were calculated following the administration of oseltamivir alone or in combination with rimantadine and was directly observed from the data.
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant or Treatment Related Changes in Electrocardiogram (ECG)	Screening; pre-dose on Day 1 and Day 5 of each treatment period; Follow-up visit	ECG was recorded when participants were rested in a supine position for at least 5 minutes.
Number of Participants With Abnormal Vital Signs	Screening (Days -28 to -2); pre-dose and 2h post-dose on D1 and D5 of each treatment period; at Follow-up visit (10 -14 days after last dose) for blood pressure and HR; Screening; Day -1 of each treatment period; Follow-up visit for temperature	Vital signs included heart rate (HR), blood pressure (systolic blood pressure \[SBP\] and diastolic blood pressure \[DBP\]), and body temperature. Blood pressure and pulse rate were recorded when participants were rested in a supine position for at least 5 minutes and after standing for 2 minutes. Vital signs values that fall outside the investigator's normal ranges were recorded.
Number of Participants With Any Adverse Events (AEs) and Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)	Up to 11 weeks	An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered to be related to the medicinal product. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect.
Number of Participants With Marked Abnormality in Laboratory Parameters	Screening; Day -1 and Day 5 (pre-dose) of each treatment period; Follow-up visit	Laboratory analysis included hematology (hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocytes, platelets counts, leukocytes counts, neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, basophils, and monocytes);, biochemistry (aspartate aminotransferase , alanine aminotransferase, gamma glutamyl trans peptidase, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, albumin, creatinine, urea, creatine phosphokinase, total protein, sodium, chloride, calcium, phosphate, potassium, glucose (fasting), amylase, lipase, total cholesterol, and calculated creatinine clearance); and urinalysis.; Marked laboratory test values (high and low) falling outside the marked reference range and which also represents a clinically relevant change from baseline of at least a designated amount were recoded. In this study, marked abnormality ranges for phosphate as 0.75 - 1.60 millimole (mmol)/L and proteinuria (0 to 4+, and 1).
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Rimantadine	Pre-dose; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post-dose on Day 5	Cmax of rimantadine was calculated following the administration of rimantadine alone or in combination with oseltamivir and was directly observed from the data.
