    Arms of the Study

    Arm 1

    Arm Type

    Experimental

    Arm Label

    Raltegravir Pre- and 4 Period Sequence

    Arm Description

    Starting five days prior to Period 1 participants will be treated with 1200 mg raltegravir, once daily for five days. In Period 1 participants will be treated with 1200 raltegravir alone; this is followed by Period 2 where participants will be treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and TUMS concomitantly; this is followed by Period 3 where participants will be treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and 12 hours later with Leader Antacid; followed by Period 4 where participants will be treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and 12 hours later with TUMS. The wait between Periods is 2-7 days.

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve From Time 0 to 24 Hrs (AUC 0-24hr) of Raltegravir Following Once Daily Administration of Raltegravir
    In Period 1 participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir alone; followed by Period 2 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and three tablets of TUMS Ultra Strength (US) 1000 taken orally concomitantly; followed by Period 3 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and 12 hours later with 20 mL Leader Antacid Maximum Strength (MS) taken orally; followed by Period 4 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and 12 hours later with three tablets of TUMS US 1000 taken orally. The wait between Periods was a maximum of 7 days, during which participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir once daily. To determine the plasma concentration of raltegravir, blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 24 hours post-dose, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) modeling was performed on natural log-transformed values to derive geometric least-squares means.
    Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Raltegravir Following Once Daily Administration of Raltegravir
    In Period 1 participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir alone; followed by Period 2 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and three tablets of TUMS US 1000 taken orally concomitantly; followed by Period 3 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and 12 hours later with 20 mL Leader Antacid MS taken orally; followed by Period 4 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and 12 hours later with three tablets of TUMS US 1000 taken orally. The wait between Periods was a maximum of 7 days, during which participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir once daily. To determine the plasma concentration of raltegravir, blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 24 hours post-dose, and ANOVA modeling was performed on natural log-transformed values to derive geometric least-squares means.
    Plasma Concentration at 24 Hrs Post-dose (C24hr) of Raltegravir Following Once Daily Administration of Raltegravir
    In Period 1 participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir alone; followed by Period 2 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and three tablets of TUMS US 1000 taken orally concomitantly; followed by Period 3 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and 12 hours later with 20 mL Leader Antacid MS taken orally; followed by Period 4 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and 12 hours later with three tablets of TUMS US 1000 taken orally. The wait between Periods was a maximum of 7 days, during which participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir once daily. To determine the plasma concentration of raltegravir, blood samples were collected at 24 hours post-dose, and ANOVA modeling was performed on natural log-transformed values to derive geometric least-squares means.

    Brief Summary
    In order to define the safe windows for co-dosing of metal-cation antacids with once daily administered raltegravir, this study will evaluate the effect of both calcium carbonate and magnesium/aluminum hydroxide antacids on the pharmacokinetics of raltegravir, due to dosage of 1200 mg raltegravir in HIV-infected participants already taking 400 mg raltegravir twice daily as part of their HIV treatment regimen.
