About this study

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single oral-dose and post-marketing study of darunavir administered in combination with low-dose ritonavir in healthy adult Japanese male participants. The total study duration will be approximately of 14 days per participant. The study consists of 3 parts: Screening (that is, 28 days before study commences on Day 1); Treatment (that is, Day 1-5); and Follow-up (that is, up to Day 13). The participants will be hospitalized for 6 nights and 7 days. All the eligible participants will receive Darunavir oral tablet on Day 3 and ritonavir capsule orally twice daily from Day 1-5. Participants will keep upright position until 4 hours after study drug administration. Both the drugs will be administered within 15 minutes after completion of meal. Blood samples will be collected for evaluation of pharmacokinetics at pre-dose and post-dose of study treatment. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Darunavir ethanolate will be administered as single oral dosing of two tablets of 300 milligram (mg) on Day 3.

Other names: JNS011

Ritonavir

Drug

Ritonavir capsule will be administered orally twice daily at a dose of 100 mg for 5 days.

Other names: Ritonavir will be administered orally twice daily as 100 mg capsule from Day 1-5.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Plasma Darunavir Concentration

    Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3

    Plasma concentration of Darunavir will be determined by collecting blood samples at the defined time points.

  2. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Darunavir

    Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3

    The Cmax is the maximum plasma concentration.

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-infinity]) of Darunavir

    Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3

    The AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z), wherein AUC(last) is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time; and C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration; and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant.

  4. Terminal Half-Life(t[1/2]) of Darunavir

    Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3

    Terminal half-life (t[(1/2]) is defined as 0.693/Lambda(z).

  5. Time to reach maximum concentration (tmax) of Darunavir

    Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3

    The Tmax is time to reach the maximum plasma concentration.

  6. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-last]) of Darunavir

    Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3

    The AUC (0-last) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z), wherein AUC(last) is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time; and C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration; and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant.

  7. Apparent total body clearance (CL/F) of Darunavir

    Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3

    Clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the body. The CL/F will be calculated by dividing the dose by AUC (0-infinity)

  8. Apparent volume of distribution at the terminal Phase (Vd[z] /F) of Darunavir

    Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3

    Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired blood concentration of a drug.The Vd(z)/F will be calculated by dividing CL/F by lambda(z).

Secondary outcomes

    Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) on Day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

    Plasma concentration of Darunavir will be determined by collecting blood samples at the defined time points.

  2. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Ritonavir

    Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) on Day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

    The Cmax is the maximum plasma concentration.

  3. Time to reach maximum concentration (tmax) of Ritonavir

    Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) on Day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

    The Tmax is time to reach the maximum plasma concentration.

  4. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to 12 hours (AUC [0-12]) of Ritonavir

    Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) on Day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

    The AUC (0-12) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 12 hours, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z), wherein AUC(last) is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time; and C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration; and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant.
