PK Study of Tacrolimus and Cyclosporine When Co-Administered With Adefovir Dipivoxil in Post-Liver Transplant Patients

Official Title: “A Multi-Center Phase 2, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Tacrolimus and Cyclosporine When Co-Administered With Adefovir Dipivoxil 10 mg to Patients Post-Liver Transplantation”

Open-label pharmacokinetic drug interaction study.

Multi-center, phase 2, open-label, sequential-cohort, drug interaction study. Cohort 1 subjects (tacrolimus and adefovir dipivoxil) were enrolled first. Based on the findings in Cohort 1, a decision was made on whether to enroll subjects in Cohort 2 (cyclosporine and adefovir dipivoxil)(i.e., if no interaction was observed in Cohort 1, Cohort 2 subjects would not be enrolled). Since no pharmacokinetic interaction was observed in Cohort 1, Cohort 2 was not enrolled.
