  • Research summary

    The purpose of this study is to look at the levels of three HIV medications: dolutegravir, darunavir and cobicistat in the blood after drug intake has been stopped, in order to understand how long these drugs persist in the blood. The study will specifically look at blood levels of these three drugs after taking them every day for 14 days.
    There will be two groups. Participants in Group 1 will take dolutegravir everyday for 14 days, then nothing for 7 days, then dolutegravir and darunavir/cobicistat together for 14 days, nothing for 7 days, and then darunavir/cobicistat alone for 14 days.
    If participants go into Group 2 they will begin with darunavir/cobicistat everyday for 14 days, then nothing for 7 days, then dolutegravir and darunavir/cobicistat together for 14 days, nothing for 7 days, and then dolutegravir alone for 14 days.
    Drug levels for both groups will be measured on days 14, 35 and 56.
    If the participants decide to take part, the duration of the study will be up to 57 days plus a screening visit which will take place up to 28 days prior to the start of the study, and a follow up visit, which takes place 15 to 22 days after the last dose of study medication.
    Eligible participants will be randomized (1:1 ratio) to group 1 or group 2. Participants and the study doctor will know which study medications the participant is taking at all times during the study.
