The introduction of Direct Acting Antivirals such as telaprevir has greatly improved treatment outcome of HCV infected patients.Telaprevir has been studied with one antidepressant, escitalopram: plasma concentrations of the antidepressant were reduced by 35% and without dose adjustment this may lead to inadequate treatment of depressive symptoms. There is a need for more data on telaprevir drug interactions with other antidepressants.\n\nFor a number of reasons, paroxetine may be a good candidate for use together with telaprevir-containing HCV treatment.\n\nThe interaction between paroxetine and telaprevir has not been studied before.', 'detailedDescription': 'HCV infected patients are often in need for an antidepressant. Inadequate treatment of depression during HCV treatment has a negative effect on adherence to HCV treatment, with suboptimal response as a potential result.\n\nThe introduction of Direct Acting Antivirals such as telaprevir has greatly improved treatment outcome of HCV infected patients. Telaprevir, however, causes some significant drug-drug interactions and hence co-administration of other medications should preferably only be done based on clinical evidence that such a combination is safe.\n\nTelaprevir has been studied with one antidepressant, escitalopram: plasma concentrations of the antidepressant were reduced by 35% and without dose adjustment this may lead to inadequate treatment of depressive symptoms. Dose titration of escitalopram may be needed but it may take several weeks before a patient has reached a therapeutic dose.\n\nThere is a need for more data on telaprevir drug interactions with other antidepressants. First, the data above show that a negative interaction occurs with escitalopram and dose-titration of the antidepressant may take too long to prevent the (re-)occurrence of depressive symptoms. Second, not all patients benefit from escitalopram and those with (prior) treatment failure on escitalopram may require an alternative agent. Third, although escitalopram is generally well-tolerated, side effects may occur and necessitate treatment discontinuation. Finally, especially in the previous intravenous drug users on methadone, escitalopram might not be the antidepressant of choice, since escitalopram as well as methadone are drugs that can lead to QTc interval prolongation and have a risk of Torsades de Pointes.\n\nFor a number of reasons, paroxetine may be a good candidate for use together with telaprevir-containing HCV treatment. First, paroxetine has been shown to prevent depressive symptoms in patients initiating HCV treatment with elevated depressive symptoms at baseline. Second, paroxetine is an inhibitor of and is metabolized by CYP2D6 while telaprevir is an inhibitor of and is metabolized by CYP3A, and therefore no drug-drug interaction is expected. Third, paroxetine is one of the most widely prescribed antidepressants with a well-established efficacy and safety profile.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Subject is at least 18 and not older than 65 years at screening.\n* Subject is able and willing to sign the Informed Consent Form prior to screening evaluations.\n* Subject has a chronic HCV infection with genotype 1.\n* Subject is eligible for telaprevir containing HCV treatment.\n* Subject is on a stable dose of 20 mg paroxetine once daily for at least 4 weeks.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Documented history of sensitivity/idiosyncrasy to medicinal products or excipients.\n* Pregnant female (as confirmed by a human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test performed less than 6 weeks before Day -1) or breast-feeding female.
