A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Metal Cation-Containing Antacids on Raltegravir Pharmacokinetics in HIV-Infected Subjects on a Stable Raltegravir-Containing Regimen


This study will evaluate: (1) the effect of co-administration of single doses of calcium
carbonate antacid and magnesium/aluminum hydroxide antacid on the steady-state plasma
pharmacokinetic profile of raltegravir in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected
participants; and (2) the effect of staggered dosing of a single dose of a
magnesium/aluminum hydroxide antacid 2 hours before and 2 hours after administration of
raltegravir on the steady-state plasma pharmacokinetic profile of raltegravir in the same
participants.

The study will determine whether (1) the C12hrs of steady-state raltegravir after
co-administration of single doses of calcium carbonate antacid is decreased to a clinically
meaningful degree compared with C12hrs after administration of raltegravir alone; and
whether (2) the C12hrs of steady-state raltegravir after co-administration of a single dose
of magnesium/aluminum hydroxide antacid is decreased to a clinically meaningful degree
compared with the C12hrs after administration of raltegravir alone.


Inclusion Criteria:

- HIV-infected male or female, 18 or more years of age, on a stable raltegravir dose
(400 mg every 12 hours [q12h]) as part of a stable anti-retroviral regimen (ARV) for
at least 1 month and will maintain current ARV therapy throughout the study

- Body Mass Index (BMI) ≤32 kg/m^2
