TMC647055HPC1001 - First-in-human Trial to Examine Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics (How the Drug is Absorbed Into the Bloodstream) of Increasing Single Oral Doses and of Increasing Repeated Oral Doses of TMC647055 in Healthy Volunteers and

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2011-11-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of TMC647055 both after increasing single oral doses from 100 mg up to maximum 3000 mg in fed conditions, and after multiple oral doses in fed conditions at increasing dose levels administered for 6 days, as well as to assess the pharmacokinetics of TMC647055 after increasing single oral doses from 100 mg up to maximum 3000 mg in fed conditions, and after multiple oral doses in fed conditions at increasing dose levels administered for 6 days and to assess the effect of food on a single oral dose of TMC647055 at one dose level, all in healthy participants. In addition, the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and the antiviral activity of TMC647055 will be determined after 6 days of consecutive dosing and of TMC647055 and TMC435 after 10 days of co-administration in chronic hepatitis C virus infected patients. Pharmacokinetics means how the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream, distributed in the body and eliminated from the body. TMC647055 is being investigated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection.

• Chronic hepatitis-C infected patients should have documented chronic genotype 1a or 1b HCV infection, otherwise no clinically relevant currently active disease and a BMI of 18.0 to 35.0 kg/m2, extremes included

• Women must be postmenopausal for at least 2 years, and/or be surgically sterile.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Use of concomitant medication, including over-the-counter products, herbal medication and dietary supplements, except for paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen or hormone replacement therapy or for chronic hepatitis-C infected patients products that are not CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers and stable use of methadone, in a period of 14 days before the first trial medication administration

• Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the study or the well-being of the subject or prevent the subject from meeting or performing study requirements

• History or suspicion of current use of alcohol, barbiturate, amphetamine, recreational or narcotic drug use, which in the investigator's opinion would compromise subject's safety and/or compliance with the trial procedures
