Study summary

Dolutegravir (DTG) and lamivudine (3TC) are indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Fixed dose combination (FDC) tablets of existing approved drugs are preferred by many patients and offer the potential for increased patient adherence and consequently a reduced likelihood of virological failure and viral resistance.

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the relative bioavailability of two experimental FDC tablets of DTG and 3TC relative to co-administration of the single entity products in healthy adult subjects.

This study will be conducted as a randomized, open label three-way, crossover design with 6 treatment sequences in approximately 30 subjects. Each subject will have a screening visit within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug, three treatment periods each with a single dose of study drug and a follow-up visit within 7-14 days after the last dose of study drug. There will be at least 7 days washout between dosing periods. The total duration of participation of a subject in this study will be approximately 9 weeks.

Inclusion criteria

  • Between 18 and 65 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
  • Healthy as determined by the investigator or medically qualified designee based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and cardiac evaluation (history, electrocardiogram [ECG]).
  • A subject with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameter(s) which is/are not specifically listed in the inclusion or exclusion criteria, outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the investigator in consultation with the Medical Monitor if required agree and document that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures.
  • Body weight >= 50 kilogram (kg) (110 pounds [lbs.)] for men and >= 45 kg (99 lbs) for women and body mass index (BMI) within the range 18.5-31.0 kg/meter square (m\^2) (inclusive)
