gabapentin and Hepatitis C

gabapentin has been researched along with Hepatitis C in 2 studies

Gabapentin: A cyclohexane-gamma-aminobutyric acid derivative that is used for the treatment of PARTIAL SEIZURES; NEURALGIA; and RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME.
gabapentin : A gamma-amino acid that is cyclohexane substituted at position 1 by aminomethyl and carboxymethyl groups. Used for treatment of neuropathic pain and restless legs syndrome.

Hepatitis C: INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by HEPATITIS C VIRUS, a single-stranded RNA virus. Its incubation period is 30-90 days. Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily by contaminated blood parenterally and is often associated with transfusion and intravenous drug abuse. However, in a significant number of cases, the source of hepatitis C infection is unknown.

" The general population model included age, hepatitis C virus infection, days of opioid used by type, number of cigarettes used daily, and the following medications used in the last 30 day of pregnancy: bupropion, antinausea medicines, benzodiazepines, antipsychotics, and gabapentin."4.02Development and Validation of a Model to Predict Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome.

Trial Outcomes

Neurocognitive Effect

"Baseline neurocognitive testing will be done before study drug is given. Subjects will be reassessed for any changes in neurocognitive scores at end of dosing (week 2) and at three weeks off study drug (week 14). Significant changes were measured at week 14 compared to baseline. Week 2 was measured to inform future studies.~The neurocognitive scores are standardized scores with a mean of 100; low scores correlate with low neurocognitive function, while high scores correlate with high function. A significant change is defined as greater than or equal to 10% decrease in scores." (NCT01369680)
Timeframe: At 14 weeks

Interventionparticipants (Number)
Ketamine 0.25 mg/kg/Dose0
Ketamine 0.5 mg/kg/Dose0
Ketamine 1 mg/kg/Dose0
Ketamine 1.5 mg/kg/Dose0

Norketamine Cmax (Measured in ng/mL).

Pharmacokinetic testing will be done during chronic ketamine administration on subjects consenting to additional testing one week into study drug administration. This is to further describe the activity of ketamine in the blood of children when administered chronically and to enable comparison of any clinical effect or toxicity with steady state levels of ketamine in children. (NCT01369680)
Timeframe: At week 1

Interventionng/mL (Mean)
Ketamine 0.25 mg/kg/Dose37.5
Ketamine 0.5 mg/kg/Dose135
Ketamine 1 mg/kg/Dose250

Number of Participants Tolerating Dose

According to CTCae any dose causing grade 2 or worse toxicity will be an untolerated dose. Tolerability is defined as ability to take the medication for 2 weeks without having a grade 2 or worse toxicity. (NCT01369680)
Timeframe: Up to 2 weeks

Interventionparticipants (Number)
Ketamine 0.25 mg/kg/Dose3
Ketamine 0.5 mg/kg/Dose3
Ketamine 1 mg/kg/Dose3
Ketamine 1.5 mg/kg/Dose1

Pain Control

"Subjects will be assessed for clinically significant change in pain scores during and after study drug administration. Significant change in pain scores were determined at week 2, though week 14 scores were collected as well.~Participants with a 2 point (or greater) decrease in pain scores compared to baseline were considered to have responded. The NRS scale was used, the scale ranges from 0-10, with 10 being the most pain." (NCT01369680)
Timeframe: Week 2

Interventionparticipants (Number)
Ketamine 0.25 mg/kg/Dose3
Ketamine 0.5 mg/kg/Dose0
Ketamine 1 mg/kg/Dose2
Ketamine 1.5 mg/kg/Dose0
