Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of CYP2B6 Genetic Polymorphisms on Efavirenz Pharmacokinetics (NCT NCT00668395)

NCT ID: NCT00668395

Last Updated: 2014-09-26

Results Overview

Efavirenz clearance is a measure of rate of elimination of the drug from the body. We used this measure to evaluate differences in rate of elimination of efavirenz at a single dose and after multiple dosing within three CYP2B6 genotypes (CYP2B6\*1/\*1, \*1/\*6 and CYP2B6\*6/\*6). Efavirenz clearance was measured in normal metabolizer of CYP2B6 (CYP2B6\*1/\*1 genotype), intermediate metabolizer (CYP2B6\*1/\*6) and slow metabolizer (CYP2B6\*6/\*6) at a single 600 mg oral dose of efavirenz and then after multiple dosing (autoinduction), i.e., the administration of efavirenz (600 mg/day) for 17 days. Single and multiple dose efavirenz clearance was measured and compared to determine the extent of autoinduction within this genotype group.

Participant Flow

Healthy subjects from self -referrals, campus fliers, Indiana University's Clinical Trials Webpage, community bulletin boards and newspaper were enrolled. All subjects were studied at the Indiana Clinical Research Center. Recruitment was completed within 3 years (8/20/07 to 4/15/10).

The study was initially designed to enroll subjects with prespecified CYP2B6 genotype (\*1/\*1, \*1/\*6, and \*6/\*6; n=20 each), but it was later modified in which subjects were enrolled without pregenotype information and genotype was performed post-hoc.

Measure
CYP2B6*1/*1 Genotype Group
1. Efavirenz clearance following a single 600 mg oral dose of efavirenz and after multiple doses of efavirenz (600 mg/day orally for 17 days) was analyzed in normal metabolizer of CYP2B6 (CYP2B6\*1/\*1 genotype), intermediate metabolizer (CYP2B6\*1/\*6 genotype) and slow metabolizer (CYP2B6\*6/\*6). During the study, the design was slightly modified to sequentially enroll instead of allocation based on specific genotype, and genotype effect was analyzed post-hoc. 2. The activities of CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A were determined in all subjects (without regard to CYP2B6 genotype) using the metabolism of isoform selective probe substrates during the single dose (600 mg efavirenz orally) and after intake of multiple doses of efavirenz (600 mg/day efavirenz orally for 17 days) to assess efavirenz mediated drug interactions.
CYP2B6*1/*6 Genotype Group

During the study, the design was slightly modified to sequentially enroll instead of allocation based on specific genotype, and genotype effect was analyzed post-hoc. 2.

Timeframe: Efavirenz clearance at single dose and multiple dose stratified by CYP2B6 genotypes

Efavirenz clearance is a measure of rate of elimination of the drug from the body. We used this measure to evaluate differences in rate of elimination of efavirenz at a single dose and after multiple dosing within three CYP2B6 genotypes (CYP2B6\*1/\*1, \*1/\*6 and CYP2B6\*6/\*6). Efavirenz clearance was measured in normal metabolizer of CYP2B6 (CYP2B6\*1/\*1 genotype), intermediate metabolizer (CYP2B6\*1/\*6) and slow metabolizer (CYP2B6\*6/\*6) at a single 600 mg oral dose of efavirenz and then after multiple dosing (autoinduction), i.e., the administration of efavirenz (600 mg/day) for 17 days. Single and multiple dose efavirenz clearance was measured and compared to determine the extent of autoinduction within this genotype group.
