Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Changes in bioavailability (measured as AUC (parent)) after 20 days of Echinacea ingestion compared to baseline for dabigatran, pitavastatin and rosuvastatin (indicative for the activity of ABCB1, SLCO1B1 and ABCG2, resp. Changes in bioavailability (measured as AUC_parent) after 20 days of Echinacea ingestion compared to baseline for 6 drugs caffeine, midazolam, codeine, morphine, losartan, omeprazole (indicative for the activity of various cytochrome p450 enzymes). Statistical and clinical relevance is assumed when the 90% confidence interval of AUCinf(parent, baseline) / AUCinf(parent, after 20 days) is not within the no-effect-boundaries 0.8 – 1.25. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Pinpointing changes of AUC to a specific metabolic pathway by analyzing changes in metabolic ratios (measured as AUC (parent)/AUC (metabolite)) after 20 days of Echinacea ingestion compared to baseline for 6 parent drug:metabolite pairs to estimate which enzyme might be responsible for the increased metabolic rate - Evaluation of limited sampling strategies - Full pharmacokinetic characterization of the probe drug cocktail - Time-course of induction - Echinaea plasma concentration - Safety profile | — |
