This study evaluated the effect of entecavir on the pharmacokinetics of adefovir and the effect of adefovir on the pharmacokinetics of entecavir using a fixed-sequence crossover design in healthy adult subjects. Subjects received 10 mg of adefovir once daily on days 1 to 4, 1 mg of entecavir on days 5 to 14, and 1 mg of entecavir plus 10 mg of adefovir on days 15 to 24. Pharmacokinetic assessments were performed on days 4 and 24 for adefovir and on days 14 and 24 for entecavir. The geometric mean ratios (90% confidence interval) for area under the plasma concentration-time curve in 1 dosing interval, peak plasma concentration, and 24-hour postdose plasma concentration of entecavir when coadministered with adefovir and of adefovir when coadministered with entecavir were within the prespecified 0.80 to 1.25 no-effect range. Entecavir and adefovir were well tolerated when administered in combination. Therefore, the pharmacokinetic data generated in this study indicate that entecavir and adefovir can be coadministered without the need for dosage adjustment.

D000998 Antiviral Agents Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.

D018592 Cross-Over Studies Studies comparing two or more treatments or interventions in which the subjects or patients, upon completion of the course of one treatment, are switched to another. In the case of two treatments, A and B, half the subjects are randomly allocated to receive these in the order A, B and half to receive them in the order B, A. A criticism of this design is that effects of the first treatment may carry over into the period when the second is given.
