A Phase I, Open-Label, 2-Period, Single-Sequence, Drug Interaction Study to Assess Steady-State Plasma Methadone Enantiomer Pharmacokinetics Following Co-Administration of Methadone QD With Fosamprenavir 700mg BID + RTV 100mg BID in Opiate-Dependent, HIV Seronegative, Adult Subjects
A Phase I, Open-Label, 2-Period, Single-Sequence, Drug Interaction Study to Assess Steady-State Plasma Methadone Enantiomer Pharmacokinetics Following Co-Administration of Methadone QD With Fosamprenavir 700mg BID + RTV 100mg BID in Opiate-Dependent, HIV Seronegative, Adult Subjects
To assess the combined effects of fosamprenavir 700mg BID + ritonavir 100mg BID + standardized dose of methadone, on plasma total and unbound methadone enantiomer pharmacokinetics (PK), opiate pharmacodynamic (PD) measures, and safety. The effect of methadone on plasma amprenavir PK will also be assessed by comparison to historical control data.
