Study Design

This was an open label study conducted in (n=12) healthy adult subjects to assess the potential for CYP mediated drug-drug interactions after administration of a CYP probe substrate and the direct acting antiviral combination of ABT-493/ABT-530. On days 1 and 11 of the study subjects were administered single oral dose of 100mg of caffeine. Subsequently subjects were administered ABT-493 300mg and of ABT-530 120mg daily from days 4-13 of the study. Pharmacokinetic analysis using repeated-measures was performed on days 1 and 11 for the CYP substrates and on day 10 for ABT-493/ABT-530.

Study Results

Based on central value ratios and 90% confidence intervals, there was an increase of (35%) in AUC (1.23-1.48) with a minimal increase in Cmax (≤3%) (0.97-1.07) of caffeine. PK parameters for ABT-493/ABT-530 were not reported although exposures were similar to other studies in healthy subjects. This combination was generally well tolerated and no serious adverse events were reported.

Study Conclusions

Per the authors, ABT-493/ABT-530 are weak inhibitors of CYP1A2 of which caffeine is a substrate. Significant drug-drug interactions are not expected. No dosage adjustment is recommended when the two are co-administered in therapy.
