TMC435-TiDP16-C123 - A Study in Healthy Volunteers Investigating the Pharmacokinetic Interaction Between TMC435 and the Antiretroviral Agents Efavirenz and Raltegravir

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of steady-state concentrations of TMC435 on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of efavirenz or raltegravir , and vice versa. Steady state is a term which means that the drug has been given long enough so that the plasma concentrations will remain the same with each subsequent dose. TMC435 is being investigated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Efavirenz and raltegravir are two antiretroviral drugs for treatment of human deficiency virus (HIV) infection. Pharmacokinetics (pk) means how the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream, distributed in the body and eliminated from the body.
