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.

Interventions

DRUGCAB

CAB 30 mg as 1 tablet will be administered orally with 240 mL of water in the fasted state.

DRUGRIF

RIF 600 mg as 2 capsules of 300 mg will be administered orally with 240 mL of water in the fasted state.
