Presented at the 14th International Workshop on Clinical Pharmacology of HIV Therapy. Amsterdam, Netherlands. April 2013. Abstract O_09A / O_09B
Methodology
Three Phase 1, multiple-dose, open-label, fixed-sequence, crossover studies assessed the PK, safety and tolerability of CVC when administered with and without protease inhibitors (RTV, DRV/r, ATV/r)
20 healthy subjects enrolled in each study (male and female; ≥18 to ≤55 years of age; BMI ≥18 to ≤30 kg/m2)
Subjects received CVC alone during Period 1 (10 days), followed by CVC with a protease inhibitor during Period 2 (10 days)
Serial plasma CVC samples were collected; a 24-hour plasma PK profile was obtained for CVC on Day 10 of each period Ratios of least-squares geometric means (and 90% CI) of the
co-administration of CVC with protease inhibitors relative to CVC alone were calculated for AUC0–24, Cmax and Cmin to assess the magnitude of any potential interaction

Conclusions
RTV 100 mg, DRV/r 800/100 mg and ATV/r 300/100 mg significantly increased plasma CVC exposure
The magnitude of interaction was comparable for all 3 regimens CVC alone and in combination with RTV, DRV/r or ATV/r was generally
well tolerated and no serious or unexpected AEs were reported In Study 108, mild jaundice was observed in all subjects during
co-administration of ATV/r with CVC, and resolved after completion of dosing
Incidence of Grade 3 and 4 hyperbilirubinemia was similar to that previously observed in healthy volunteer studies conducted with ATV/r1,2

Methodology
Phase 1, multiple-dose, open-label, fixed-sequence, crossover study assessed 2-way PK interactions between CVC and efavirenz (EFV)
40 healthy subjects enrolled (male and female; ≥18 to ≤55 years of age; BMI ≥18 to ≤30 kg/m2)
Serial plasma CVC or EFV samples collected; a 24-hour PK profile was obtained for CVC and EFV after the last dose of each period Ratios of least-squares geometric means (and 90% CI) of the concomitant
administration relative to the administration of CVC or EFV alone were calculated for AUC0–24, Cmax and Cmin to assess the magnitude of any potential interaction

Conclusions
Co-administration of EFV with CVC 200 mg resulted in a significant decrease in CVC exposure, which was offset by doubling the CVC dosage to 400 mg
CVC had no effect on EFV exposure CVC alone and co-administered with EFV was generally well tolerated
No subject discontinued due to an AE No serious or unexpected AEs No clinically relevant laboratory abnormalities
