Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • To assess the pharmacodynamics on QT-Prolongation of ribavirin with lopinavir/ritonavir • To assess the steady state pharmacokinetics of single substance and combined treatment of ribavirin with lopinavir/ritonavir ;Secondary Objective: • PK sample collection and ECG measurements • Safety and tolerability of the combination therapies ;Primary end point(s): Pharmacodynamic endpoint (at steady state): change from baseline in Fridericia-corrected QT interval (?QTcF) Pharmacokinetic endpoints (at steady state): Cmax , tmax , t/2, AUC0-n of each drug ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Data acquisition at defined timepoints before and during clinical phase Evaluation after completion of the clinical phase

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Adverse events;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Data acquisition at defined timepoints during clinical phase Evaluation after completion of the clinical phase
