Protocol
QUAD: A Phase 2/3, Open-Label Study of the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Antiviral Activity of the Elvitegravir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil furamate Single Tablet Regimen (STR) in HIV-1 Infected Antiretroviral Treatment-Naïve Adolescents
Diseases
Infectious Diseases : HIV infections
Description
This study is phase II that involves an experimental combination drug named Elvitegravir/ Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate single tablet for the treatment of HIV-1 infection adolescents who have never been treated before. Elvitegravir (EVG) and Cobicistat (COBI) are the two experimental drugs. The purpose of this study is to find out the concentration of the study drug in the body. Researchers will measure the amount of the study drug in the blood and determine how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes (processes), and eliminates (removes) it. They will also look at safety of this combination and how well it works.
Objectives
- To learn about the drug called EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF STR, which is short for Elvitegravir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate in young people ages 12 to 17 years, who have never been treated for HIV-1.
Eligibility Criteria, among others, include:
- Participant has not previously participated in an investigational trial involving administration of any investigational agent within 30 days prior to the study dosing.
- Participant does not have history of significant drug sensitivity or drug allergy.
- Participant does not have current alcohol or substance abuse judged by the Investigator to potentially interfere with compliance.
- Participant is willing and able to comply with all study requirements.
- Participant has documented screening for active pulmonary tuberculosis per local standard of care within 6 months of screening visit.
- Participant is able to swallow oral tablets.
