Naïve HIV POC Monotherapy Trial

• Safety will be assessed as adverse and HIV related events, clinical laboratory test results(hematology, chemistry, urinalysis), vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), and physical examination [ Time Frame: 22 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
• Pharmacokinetics and Resistance [ Time Frame: 22 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

The primary objective of the trial is:

• to evaluate the change from baseline in plasma viral load with placebo and one of up to 4 dose regimens of RDEA806.

The secondary objectives are:

Efficacy

• to describe the nadir of the plasma viral load
• to describe the DAVG
• to assess the proportion of subjects who reached a drop in viral load of 0.5 log, 1 log, or reach an undetectable viral load
• to assess the plasma viral load decay rate
• to evaluate immunologic changes (as measured by CD4 and CD8 cells)
• to evaluate the genotypic and phenotypic pattern of the virus Pharmacokinetics
• to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship of RDEA806 Safety
• to evaluate the safety and tolerability of bid and qd dosing of RDEA806 as monotherapy

• Drug: RDEA806
  Subjects in Cohort 1 will receive a bid dose of RDEA806 400 mg for 7 consecutive days followed by a single dose on Day 8. In Cohort 2, subjects will receive a qd dose of RDEA806 600 mg for 7 consecutive days, with an additional dose on Day 8. All subjects will be followed for 2 weeks after the last dose. Cohorts 3 and 4: Study medication will be supplied as RDEA806 Enteric Coated Tablets, 200 mg. Each tablet is a white, film-coated, oval-shaped tablet that weighs approximately 299 mg and contains 200 mg RDEA806. Cohorts 3 and 4 will be dosed with 800 mg qd and 1,000 mg qd (or 400 mg bid), respectively. Subjects in Cohorts 3 and 4 will take the RDEA806 Over-Encapsulated Capsule with 240 mL (approximately 8 ounces) of ambient-temperature water. Subjects will be dosed approximately 30 minutes following breakfast (or approximately 30 minutes following breakfast and dinner in the 400 mg bid dose).
