Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the single-dose pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability of Darunavir (DRV) 800 milligram (mg), Cobicistat (COBI) 150 mg, Emtricitabine (FTC) 200 mg, and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) 10 mg when administered as a fixed-dose combination (FDC) (D/C/F/TAF) tablet in healthy adult participants when given as Treatment A (reference): a single dose of D/C/F/TAF (800/150/200/10 mg) FDC tablet swallowed as a whole, intact tablet with 240milliliter (mL) of noncarbonated water.Treatment B (test): a single dose of D/C/F/TAF (800/150/200/10 mg) FDC tablet as a split tablet swallowed with 240 mL of noncarbonated water. Treatment C (test): a single dose of D/C/F/TAF (800/150/200/10 mg) FDC tablet as a crushed tablet mixed in 4 ounces (oz) of applesauce.

Interventions

Darunavir 800 milligram (mg) will be taken orally in FDC together with COBI(150mg)/FTC(200mg)/TAF(10mg).

DRUGCobicistat (COBI)

Cobicistat 150 milligram (mg) will be taken orally in FDC together with DRV(800mg)/FTC(200mg)/TAF(10mg).

Emtricitabine 200 milligram (mg) will be taken orally in FDC together with COBI(150mg)/DRV(800mg)/TAF(10mg).

Tenofovir Alafenamide 10 milligram (mg) will be taken orally in FDC together with COBI(150mg)/FTC(200mg)/DRV(800mg).

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)Up to Day 4Cmax is defined as the maximum observed plasma concentration.
Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve from time zero to the last quantifiable (AUC [0-last])Up to Day 4AUC (0-last) is the area under the Plasma concentration time curve (AUC) from time 0 to the time of the last measurable (non below quantification limit \[non BQL\]) concentration, calculated by linear trapezoidal summation.
Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-infinity])Up to Day 4The AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the plasma concentration time curve from time zero to infinite time calculated as the sum of AUC (0-last) and C (0-last)/lambda(z); wherein AUC (0-last) is area under the plasma concentration time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time, C(0-last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration, and lambda (z) is elimination rate constant.
