RESUMEN
Raltegravir, a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase inhibitor, has pH-dependent solubility. Raltegravir plasma concentration increases with omeprazole coadministration in healthy subjects; this is likely secondary to an increase in bioavailability attributable to increased gastric pH. Increased gastric pH has been reported in HIV-1-infected individuals, and the effects of omeprazole in this intended population may be diminished. Further investigation is necessary.

A randomized, placebo-controlled, 2-period crossover study in subjects on methadone maintenance therapy was conducted to assess the effect of the HIV-1 integrase inhibitor, raltegravir, on the pharmacokinetics of methadone. Twelve HIV-negative male and female subjects stabilized on an oral methadone program were enrolled. Subjects maintained their prescribed oral doses of methadone throughout the study and, in each of 2 periods, received either 400 mg of raltegravir or matching placebo every 12 hours on days 1 through 10 of each treatment period with a washout of 7 days between periods. Plasma samples for analysis of methadone pharmacokinetics were collected over 24 hours postdose on day 10 of each treatment period. Safety and tolerability were assessed throughout the study. The geometric mean ratio (90% confidence interval) for methadone when administered with raltegravir relative to methadone alone was 1.00 (0.93-1.09) for area under the methadone concentration time curve from time 0 to 24 hours and 1.00 (0.94-1.07) for maximal concentration. There were no serious clinical or laboratory adverse experiences. There were no discontinuations due to an adverse experience. Coadministration of raltegravir and methadone is generally well tolerated. Raltegravir has no clinically meaningful effect on methadone pharmacokinetics. No dose adjustment is required for methadone when coadministered with raltegravir.

PURPOSE: This dedicated QTc phase I study, conducted in advanced-stage cancer patients, assessed the effect of a single supratherapeutic dose (800 mg) of vorinostat on the QTc interval. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A randomized, partially blind, placebo-controlled, two-period, crossover study was conducted. Patients (n = 25) received single doses of 800 mg vorinostat and placebo in the fasted state. Holter electrocardiogram monitoring was done before each treatment and for 24 h postdose. Blood samples for vorinostat concentration were collected through 24 h postdose following vorinostat treatment only. Prescribed electrocardiogram and blood sampling times were designed to capture the expected C(max) of vorinostat. RESULTS: Twenty-four of the 25 patients enrolled in the study were included in the QTc analysis. The upper bound of the two-sided 90% confidence interval for the QTcF interval for the placebo-adjusted mean change from baseline of vorinostat was <10 ms at every time point. No patient had a QTcF change from baseline value >30 ms. One patient had QTcF values >450 ms (seen after both vorinostat and placebo administration) and none had values >480 ms. Mean AUC(0-infinity) and C(max) values attained were on the order of approximately 1.93- and approximately 1.41-fold higher, respectively, compared with the 400 mg clinical dose. Based on assessment of clinical and laboratory adverse experiences, single doses of 800 mg vorinostat were generally well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS: Administration of a single supratherapeutic dose of the histone deacetylase inhibitor vorinostat is not associated with prolongation of the QTc interval. A dedicated QTc study in advanced cancer patients is a robust means for assessing risk for ventricular repolarization prolongation.
