Abstract | OBJECTIVES: METHODS: In a randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study, 20 healthy participants who were stratified according to CYP2C19 genotype received oral ritonavir (300 mg twice daily) or placebo for 2 days. Together with the first ritonavir or placebo dose, a single oral dose of 400 mg voriconazole was administered. Voriconazole was determined in plasma and urine by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated by noncompartmental analysis. RESULTS: When given alone, the apparent oral clearance of voriconazole after single oral dosing was 26%+/-16% (P > .05) lower in CYP2C19*1/*2 individuals and 66%+/-14% (P < .01) lower in CYP2C19 PMs. The addition of ritonavir caused a major reduction in voriconazole apparent oral clearance (354+/-173 mL/min versus 202+/-139 mL/min, P = .0001). This reduction occurred in all CYP2C19 genotypes (463+/-168 mL/min versus 305+/-112 mL/min [P = .023] for *1/*1, 343+/-127 mL/min versus 190+/-93 mL/min [P = .008] for *1/*2, and 158+/-54 mL/min versus 22+/-11 mL/min for *2/*2) and is probably caused by inhibition of CYP3A4-mediated voriconazole metabolism.
