SSAT067 PK of Atazanavir/Cobicistat and Darunavir/Cobicistat

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2016-03-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose of this study is to look at the levels of three HIV medications: atazanavir, darunavir and cobicistat in the blood after drug intake has been stopped, in order to understand how long these drugs persist in the blood. The study will specifically look at blood levels of these three drugs after taking them every day for 10 days. Participants will take Evotaz (atazanavir and cobicistat) on a first stage and Rezolsta (darunavir and cobicistat) on a second stage.

If the participants decide to take part, the duration of the study will be up to 33 days plus a screening visit which will take place up to 28 days prior to the start of the study, and a follow up visit, which takes place 7 to 14 days after the last dose of study medication. This study is not randomised which means that all participants will receive all study medications in the same order.

The participant and the study doctor will know which study medications the participant is taking at all times during the study.

2. Male or non-pregnant, non-lactating females

3. Between 18 to 65 years, inclusive

4. Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18 to 35 kg/m2, inclusive

5. ALT, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin ≤ 1.5xULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%). A single repeat is allowed for eligibility determination.

6. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP - definition in Appendix 5) must be using an adequate method of contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the study and for a period of at least 4 weeks after the study

A female may be eligible to enter and participate in the study if she:

1. is of non-child-bearing potential defined as either post-menopausal (12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea and ≥ 45 years of age) or physically incapable of becoming pregnant with documented tubal ligation, hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or,

2. is of child-bearing potential with a negative pregnancy test at both Screening and Day 1 and agrees to use one of the following methods of contraception to avoid pregnancy:

• Complete abstinence from penile-vaginal intercourse from 2 weeks prior to administration of IP, throughout the study, and for at least 4 weeks after discontinuation of all study medications;

• Double barrier method (male condom/spermicide, male condom/diaphragm, diaphragm/spermicide);

• Any intrauterine device (IUD) with published data showing that the expected failure rate is <1% per year (not all IUDs meet this criterion, see protocol appendix 5 for an example listing of approved IUDs);

• Male partner sterilization confirmed prior to the female subject's entry into the study, and this male is the sole partner for that subject;

• Approved hormonal contraception (see protocol appendix 5 for a listing of examples of approved hormonal contraception) plus male condom;

• Any other method with published data showing that the expected failure rate is <1% per year.

• Any contraception method must be used consistently, in accordance with the approved product label and for at least 4 weeks after discontinuation of IP.

7. Men who have partners who are women of childbearing potential (WOCBP - definition in Appendix 5) must be using an adequate method of contraception to avoid pregnancy in their partner throughout the study and for a period of at least 4 weeks after the study (see inclusion criteria 6)
