Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: HIV Infection

Intervention: lamotrigine (Drug); Raltegravir (Drug)

Phase: Phase 1

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Radboud University

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
David M. Burger, PharmD PhD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: Radboud University

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether interactions between raltegravir and lamotrigine take place and to study the safety of the combination raltegravir/lamotrigine before used in HIV patients.

Clinical Details

Official title: The Influence of Raltegravir (MK-0518) on the Pharmacokinetics of Single-dose Lamotrigine in Healthy Male Subjects (GRANOLA)

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Plasma concentrations of lamotrigine, lamotrigine-2N-glucuronide, and raltregravir

Secondary outcome: Determination of pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC, Cmax, Tmax, Cmin and T 1/2) by noncompartmental analysis

Detailed description: Lamotrigine is an anticonvulsive drug that is used both for the treatment of HIV-associated neuropathic pain and the treatment of epilepsy in HIV-infected individuals. Lamotrigine is metabolized via glucuronidation. Raltegravir is a newly developed integrase inhibitor that is also metabolized via glucuronidation. Since both agents are metabolized via glucuronidation, there is a possibility of competition for glucuronidation, leading to drug-drug interactions between raltegravir and lamotrigine. This primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of raltegravir on the pharmacokinetics of single dose lamotrigine (by intrasubject comparison). A secondary objective is to determine the effect of single dose lamotrigine on the pharmacokinetics of raltegravir when compared to historical controls. Another secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of combined use of single dose lamotrigine and raltegravir.
