Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics of Kaletra™ (HIV protease inhibitors lopinavir and ritonavir) in different body compartments and to assess the role of four different drug transporters (MDR, MRP1, MRP2 and BCRP) in the tissue distribution of the two protease inhibitors. The latter will be studied by comparing intracellular concentrations of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with total and free plasma concentrations in healthy individuals. These effects will be studied after single dose (day 1), during steady state (day 3), and during chronic treatment (day 14).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objective:

Measurement of AUC, Cmax, tmax, t1/2 and clearance (Cl) of the protease inhibitor Kaletra™ (lopinavir and ritonavir) each in the plasma of healthy individuals

* establish free and total plasma - blood cell concentration-relationship
* establish free and total plasma - saliva concentration-relationship
* establish blood cell concentration - drug transporter expression-relationship
