Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the single-dose pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of darunavir 800 mg when administered as a fixed dose combination relative to 2 x 400 mg tablets of the commercial tablet formulation, in the presence of 150 mg cobicistat, (under fed and fasted conditions) in healthy participants.

Plasma pharmacokinetics of cobicistat with darunavir when both administered as a fixed dose combination tablet under fasted conditions in healthy participants will be evaluated.
Evaluation of plasma pharmacokinetics of cobicistat with darunavir when both administered as a single agents [ Time Frame: Up to 27 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Plasma pharmacokinetics of cobicistat with darunavir when both administered as a single agents under fasted conditions in healthy participants will be evaluated
Evaluation of effect of a high-fat meal on darunavir and cobicistat pharmacokinetics relative to the fasted state [ Time Frame: Up to 27 Days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Effects of a high-fat meal on darunavir and cobicistat pharmacokinetics relative to the fasted state will be evaluated.

Detailed Description:

This is a randomized (the study drug is assigned by chance), open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), 3-panel, single-center, single-dose, crossover (method used to switch patients from one treatment arm to another in a clinical trial) study in 134 healthy adult participants. The study consists of 3 phases including a screening phase of approximately 3 weeks (Days -21 to -1) followed by an open-label treatment phase consisting of 3 panels with 2 single-dose treatment sessions of 5 days each (Days -1 to 4) separated by a washout period of at least 7 days, and a follow-up period occurring 7 to 10 days after last intake of study drugs. The study consists of 3 panels. In each panel participants will be randomly be assigned to 1 of 2 treatment sequences (AB or BA for Panel 1; CD or DC for Panel 2; and EF or FE for Panel 3). Participants will receive either single-dose darunavir 800 mg as 2 x 400 mg tablets and cobicistat 150 mg tablet or single-dose darunavir/cobicistat 800/150 mg as tablet in each panel (under fed and fasted conditions).
