Safety and Efficacy of Cobicistat-boosted Darunavir in HIV Infected Adults

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT01440569

Purpose

This study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of cobicistat-boosted darunavir plus two fully active nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors in HIV 1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults with no darunavir (DRV) resistance-associated mutations. After the Week 48 Visit, participants will be given the option to participate in an open-label rollover phase to receive cobicistat and attend visits every 12 weeks until it becomes commercially available, or until Gilead Sciences elects to terminate development of cobicistat.

   - Females of childbearing potential must agree to utilize protocol-recommended methods
   of contraception, or be nonheterosexually active, practice sexual abstinence or have a
   vasectomized partner from Screening throughout the duration of the study period and

   during heterosexual intercourse from the Screening visit, throughout the duration of
   the study and for 30 days following discontinuation of investigational medicinal
   product or be nonheterosexually active, practice sexual abstinence, or be
   vasectomized.

Exclusion Criteria:

   within 30 days prior to Baseline

   - Participation in any other clinical trial

   - Any other clinical condition or prior therapy that would make the subject unsuitable
   for the study or unable to comply with the dosing requirements.

   - Subjects receiving ongoing therapy with any of the medications, including drugs not to
   be used with cobicistat, darunavir, or investigator selected NRTIs; or subjects with
   any known allergies to cobicistat tablets, darunavir tablets or contraindications for
