Brief summary

The goal of this study is to learn what happens to the medication islatravir (ISL), in a healthy person's body over time--called a pharmacokinetic (PK) study. Researchers want to compare the amount of islatravir in the blood when it is taken alone as a single dose and when it is taken with multiple doses of another medication called lamivudine (3TC).

Interventions

DRUGIslatravir (ISL)

Oral administration of a single dose in period 1 and period 2

Oral administration of multiple daily doses for 27 days

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) Concentration at 168 hours (C168) of islatravir-triphosphate (ISL-TP )Predose and at designated timepoints up to 168 hours post doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the C168 of ISL-TP
PBMC Concentration at 24 Hours (C24) of ISL-TPPredose and at designated timepoints up to 24 hours post doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the C24 of ISL-TP
PBMC Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of ISL-TPPredose and at designated timepoints up to 840 hours post doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-inf of ISL-TP
PBMC Area Under the Concentration-time Curve to Time of Last Measurable Concentration (AUClast) of ISL-TPPredose and at designated time points up to 840 hours post doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the AUClast of ISL-TP
PBMC Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of ISL-TPPredose and at designated time points up to 840 hours post doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of ISL-TP
PBMC Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of ISL-TPPredose and at designated time points up to 840 hours post doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of ISL-TP
PBMC Apparent Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of ISL-TPPredose and at designated timepoints up to 840 hours post doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the t1/2 of ISL-TP

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)Up to approximately 16 weeksAn AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The number of participants who experience an AE will be reported.
Plasma C168 of ISLPredose and at designated timepoints up to 168 hours post doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the C168 of ISL
Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AEUp to approximately 10 weeksAn AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The number of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be reported
Plasma Concentration at 24 Hours (C24) of ISLPredose and at designated timepoints up to 24 hours post doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the C24 of ISL
Plasma AUC0-inf of ISLPredose and at designated timepoints up to 168 hours post doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-inf of ISL
Plasma AUClast of ISLPredose and at designated timepoints up to 168 hours post doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the AUClast of ISL
Plasma Cmax of ISLPredose and at designated timepoints up to 168 hours post doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of ISL
Plasma Tmax of ISLPredose and at designated timepoints up to 168 hours post doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of ISL-TP
Plasma t1/2 of ISLPredose and at designated timepoints up to 168 hours post doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the t1/2 of ISL
