Effects of Tipranavir (With Ritonavir) Capsule and Liquid Formulation on Cytochrome P450 and P-glycoprotein Activity in Healthy Volunteers

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 1969-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Primary: To quantify the influence of single-dose and steady-state tipranavir/ritonavir 500/200 mg on intestinal and hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) biomarkers, as a means of predicting drug interactions. The AUCs for biomarkers caffeine, warfarin, omeprazole, dextromethorphan, midazolam, and digoxin will be assessed.

• Phase: Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
