Clinical Evaluation of Adjusted Doses of Darunavir/Ritonavir With Rifampicin in HIV-infected Volunteers

Summary

The DaRifi study aims: 1. Develop adjusted doses of darunavir/ritonavir for use in HIV-infected patients requiring co-treatment of TB with a rifampicin-based regimen. 2. Compare the steady state pharmacokinetics of doubled doses of DRV/r with rifampicin (in once daily and 12-hourly approaches) to standard daily doses without rifampicin. 3. Twenty-eight volunteers will be enrolled for a target of 24 participants completing the study.
