Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Area Under the Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of Plasma Islatravir (ISL)
Participants were treated with islatravir (ISL), and blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 168 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of plasma ISL. The 95% confidence interval was derived from a fixed effects model performed on natural log-transformed values.
Area Under the Curve From Time 0 to Last Sampling Time (AUC0-last) of Plasma ISL
Participants were treated with ISL, and blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 168 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of plasma ISL. The 95% confidence interval was derived from a fixed effects model performed on natural log-transformed values.
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Plasma ISL
Participants were treated with ISL, and blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 168 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of plasma ISL. The 95% confidence interval was derived from a fixed effects model performed on natural log-transformed values.
Time of Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Plasma ISL
Participants were treated with ISL, and blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 168 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of plasma ISL. The Tmax of plasma ISL was expressed as a median.
Apparent Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of Plasma ISL
Participants were treated with ISL, and blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 168 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of plasma ISL. The Geometric Coefficient of Variation was expressed as a percent (%CV), and is calculated from the square root of corresponding estimated variance obtained for each population in fixed effect model multiplied by 100.
Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of Plasma ISL
Participants were treated with ISL, and blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 168 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of plasma ISL. The 95% confidence interval was derived from a fixed effects model performed on natural log-transformed values.
Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F) of Plasma ISL
Participants were treated with ISL, and blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 168 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of plasma ISL. The 95% confidence interval was derived from a fixed effects model performed on natural log-transformed values.

Secondary Outcome Measures

AUC0-inf of ISL Triphosphate (ISL-TP) in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC)
Participants were treated with ISL, and peripheral blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 168 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of ISL-TP in PBMCs. The 95% confidence interval was derived from a fixed effects model performed on natural log-transformed values.
AUC0-last of ISL-TP in PBMC
Participants were treated with ISL and peripheral blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 168 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of ISL-TP in PBMCs. The 95% confidence interval was derived from a fixed effects model performed on natural log-transformed values.
Cmax of ISL-TP in PBMC
Participants were treated with ISL and peripheral blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 168 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of ISL-TP in PBMCs. The 95% confidence interval was derived from a fixed effects model performed on natural log-transformed values.
Tmax of ISL-TP in PBMC
Participants were treated with ISL and peripheral blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 168 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of ISL-TP in PBMCs. The Tmax of ISL-TP was expressed as a median.
Concentration at 24 Hours Post Dose (C24) of ISL-TP in PBMC
Participants were treated with ISL and peripheral blood samples were collected at 24 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of ISL-TP in PBMCs. The 95% confidence interval was derived from a fixed effects model performed on natural log-transformed values.
Concentration at 168 Hours Post Dose (C168) of ISL-TP in PBMC
Participants were treated with ISL and peripheral blood samples were collected at 168 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of ISL-TP in PBMCs. The 95% confidence interval was derived from a fixed effects model performed on natural log-transformed values.
Concentration at 672 Hours Post Dose (C672) of ISL-TP in PBMC
Participants were treated with ISL and peripheral blood samples were collected at 672 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of ISL-TP in PBMCs. The 95% confidence interval was derived from a fixed effects model performed on natural log-transformed values.
T1/2 of ISL-TP in PBMC
Participants were treated with ISL, and blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 168 hours post-dose to determine the concentration of ISL-TP in PBMCs. The t1/2 of plasma ISL was expressed as a geometric mean. The Geometric Coefficient of Variation was expressed as a percent (%CV), and is calculated from the square root of corresponding estimated variance obtained for each population in fixed effect model multiplied by 100.
Percentage of Participants With an Adverse Event (AE)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.
Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued From the Study Due to an AE
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.
