Trial Outcomes & Findings for Drug Interaction Study Between Linezolid and Clarithromycin in Tuberculosis Patients (NCT NCT01521364)

NCT ID: NCT01521364

Last Updated: 2013-07-01

Results Overview

The AUCs of linezolid will be measured at 3 time points after addition of 3 different clarithromycin dosages. Samples were obtained before doseing and 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 8h, and 12h after administration of linezolid (and claritromycin depending on the period).

Patients receive 300mg linezolid twice a day during entire study. After one week, 250mg claritromycin once daily is added for a duration of two weeks. After another two weeks, 250mg claritromycin is replaced by 500mg claritromycin once daily for another two weeks. After this, there is a wash-out period of one week during which no claritromycine is administered. Addition of different doses of clarithromycin. : At week 1, 250mg clarithromycin once a day will be added to linezolid therapy during two weeks. At week 3, 500mg clarithromycin once a day will be added to linezolid therapy during to weeks.
