Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pharmacokinetics of Vaniprevir (MK-7009) and Hepatitis C Virus RNA Levels After Vaniprevir Treatment (MK-7009-029) (NCT NCT00954993)

NCT ID: NCT00954993

Last Updated: 2018-10-18

Results Overview

Participants were treated with vaniprevir twice daily on days 1,2, and 3. On treatment Day 4 participants were treated once with vaniprevir; then core needle liver biopsies were to be collected at 6, 12 and 24 hours postdose to determine the AUC of vaniprevir. AUC is the integrated area under the curve for plasma concentration of vaniprevir over time.

Measure
Vaniprevir 600 mg - 300 mg Arm
For each participant in period 1, 600 mg of Vaniprevir was taken twice daily on Days 1-3 and a single dose of Vaniprevir 600 mg was taken on Day 4. Period 1 was followed by a minimum 30-day, up to approximately 140 day, washout interval. In period 2, 300 mg of Vaniprevir was taken by each participant twice daily on Days 1-3 and a single dose of Vaniprevir 300 mg was taken on Day 4.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6, 12 and 24 hours postdose on day 4 of each period (up to Day 148)

Population: Since only a single liver sample timepoint at either 6 or 12 hours was obtained from each participant, and no 24 hour timepoint was collected from any participant due to the early termination of the study, the AUC (0-12 hrs) was not calculated

Participants were treated with vaniprevir twice daily on days 1,2, and 3. On treatment Day 4 participants were treated once with vaniprevir; then core needle liver biopsies were to be collected at 6, 12 and 24 hours postdose to determine the AUC of vaniprevir. AUC is the integrated area under the curve for plasma concentration of vaniprevir over time.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6, 12 and 24 hours postdose on day 4 of each period (up to day 148)

Population: Participants treated with vaniprevir who had a liver biopsy were analyzed as two separate groups that received 600 mg and 300 mg doses . No biopsies were collected at the 24 hour timepoint.

Participants were treated with vaniprevir on days, 1,2, and 3. On treatment Day 4 participants were treated once with vaniprevir; then core needle liver biopsies were collected at 6, 12, and 24 hours postdose to determine the concentration of vaniprevir in the liver.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6, 12 and 24 hours postdose on day 4 of each period (up to day 148)

Population: Since only a single liver sample timepoint was obtained from each participant at either 6 or 12 hours, and the 24 hour timepoint was not collected from any participant due to the early termination of the study, the t-1/2 could not be determined.

Participants were treated with vaniprevir twice daily on days 1,2, and 3. On treatment Day 4 participants were treated once with vaniprevir; then core needle liver biopsies were to be collected at 6, 12 and 24 hours postdose to determine the t-1/2 of vaniprevir. The t-1/2 is the time taken to eliminate half the amount of vaniprevir.
