Investigation of the Potential Pharmacokinetic Interaction Between Nevirapine, Abacavir and Amprenavir in HIV-1 Infected Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NNRTI) Naive Adults

NCT ID: NCT02182765

Last Updated: 2014-07-14

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: TERMINATED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1
• Total Enrollment: 8 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 1999-04-30

Brief Summary

Study to determine the effects of 28 days of nevirapine treatment on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of amprenavir and of abacavir and to further evaluate the pharmacokinetics of nevirapine in combination with amprenavir and abacavir compared to historical controls treated with nevirapine but without amprenavir or abacavir. In addition safety/tolerance of nevirapine, amprenavir and abacavir was to be assessed based on adverse events and clinical laboratory data.
