Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

CAB is an integrase inhibitor that is currently in Phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment and prevention of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection. RIF, a rifamycin used for treatment of tuberculosis (common co-infection in HIV-infected subjects), is a known inducer of uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) and Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). CAB is primarily metabolized via UGT1A1 and UGT1A9, thus a drug interaction between CAB and RIF is possible. This study will be a phase I, single-center, open label, fixed-sequence cross-over study to compare the single dose PK of CAB oral 30 milligrams (mg) when co-administered with RIF 600 mg once daily at steady-state to those of CAB oral 30 mg administered alone. Fifteen subjects are planned to be enrolled to obtain 12 evaluable subjects for this study.
