Summary
This study will compare the pharmacokinetics of the component drugs in JULUCA, and HIV combination treatment pill, in HIV-negative patients who require hemodialysis with those with normal renal function.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Negative HIV antibody testing at screening.
- For the ESRD requiring HD study group: ESRD requiring chronic hemodialysis for at least 6 months at an established center (not home dialysis).
NOTE: The approximate date that hemodialysis was initiated should be reported, if known.
For the normal renal function group: Estimated CrCl (using the Cockcroft-Gault equation) at screening ≥75mL/min.
- Availability of alternative venous access (not used for dialysis) for the purpose of PK sampling.
- The following laboratory values obtained within 30 days prior to study entry (obtained either at screening or done as part of routine clinical care):
- AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) less than or equal to ULN
- Total bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN
- Hemoglobin greater than or equal to 8.0 mg/dL
- A negative serum pregnancy test result at screening for all women of reproductive potential who have not reached menopause or undergone hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation.
- Males and females, age 18-65 years.
- Ability and willingness of participant or legal guardian/representative to provide written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria
- Known allergy or hypersensitivity to either dolutegravir or rilpivirine
- Use of peritoneal dialysis.
- Serious illnesses, other than ESRD, requiring systemic treatment and/or hospitalization within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit.
- Known liver cirrhosis, unstable liver disease (presence of ascites, encephalopathy, coagulopathy, esophageal/gastric varices), Child-Pugh Class A, B, or C, or known biliary abnormalities (except for known Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones).
- Hepatitis B surface antigen or hepatitis C antibody with detectable RNA at screening.
- Known gastrointestinal disease that may lead to poor absorption of the study drugs.
- Known hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, total lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption.
- Any of the following gastrointestinal signs or symptoms of Grade ≥ 2 within 7 days prior to the Screening Visit or during study drug administration prior to the Intensive PK Study Visit:
- nausea
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- abdominal pain
- Use of any of the following within 30 days of initiating study drug:
- Medications known to appreciably inhibit or induce CYP3A enzymes, P-glycoprotein, or UGT1A1 or UGT1A4 enzymes (e.g., anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, oxacarbamazepine; antimycobacterials such as rifampin, rifabutin and rifapentine; antifungal agents such as ketoconazole, fluconazole and itraconazole; verapamil, clarithromycin, erythromycin)
- St. John's Wort, echinacea, grapefruits or grapefruit juice, garlic supplements, ginseng, golden seal, and milk thistle
- Cancer chemotherapeutic agents
- Investigational agents
- Immunomodulators, including systemic steroids greater than or equal to 100 mg/day of prednisone (Note: Topical and inhaled corticosteroids are allowed.)
- Dofetilide
- Positive pre-study drug screen. Drugs that will be screened for include amphetamines, barbiturates, cocaine and phencyclidine (PCP). Active injected drug users will be excluded from this study.
- Use of proton pump inhibitors within 7 days of initiating study drug (H2 blockers are permitted).
- Pregnancy and/or breast-feeding.
- Moderate to severe depression, defined as a PHQ-9 ≥ 10 at Screening.
- Significant change (i.e., more than a 50% change) in tobacco smoking habit within 6 weeks prior to the Screening Visit. Participants who have recently stopped smoking should have stopped smoking more than 6 weeks prior to the Screening Visit. Participants who have recently started smoking should have started more than 6 weeks prior to the Screening Visit.
- QTc interval greater than 500 msec at Screening.
