Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to describe drug concentrations of an investigational HIV medication, GSK1349572, in blood plasma, cervicovaginal fluid, vaginal and cervical tissue in HIV negative women.

Detailed Description

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe first dose and steady state pharmacokinetics of GSK1349572 in cervicovaginal fluid (CVF) and vaginal (VT) and cervical (CT) tissue compared to blood plasma (BP) in HIV-1 negative women. Based on current literature, GSK1349572 has demonstrated a desirable pharmacokinetic profile in BP, including low to moderate pharmacokinetic variability (CV% 9-41), extended t1/2 (13-15h) and trough concentrations which remain 25-fold higher than the protein-adjusted IC90 ~0.064µg/mL for wild type virus. Understanding pharmacokinetic behavior of GSK1349572 in multiple female biological compartments will inform its role in sterilizing the genital tract in HIV-infected women, as well as protect mucosal tissue against HIV infection (pre/post-exposure prophylaxis).

Study Groups

GSK1349572

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

GSK1349572 (dolutegravir)

Intervention Type: DRUG

Subjects will take an oral daily 50mg dose of GSK1349572 for 5-7 days. GSK1349572 in the CVF and BP will be measured over 24 hours after both the initial dose, and once steady state is reached 5-7 days later at the following time points: 0 (pre-dose) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 18, and 24h. Cervical and vaginal biopsies will be collected once at initial dose at either 3, 6, 12 or 24 hours post dose, and again at steady state at the same single time point. Samples will be collected from 2 subjects per time point. BP and CVF samples will be obtained at 48 and 72 hours following the final GSK1349572 dose.

• Previous gynecological examination with documentation of a normal Pap smear within the last year as part of clinical care
• Regular menstrual cycles with at least 21 days between menses (unless on contraception that causes amenorrhea or irregular menses)

Exclusion Criteria

• Evidence or history of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurologic, or allergic disease (including drug allergies, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies at time of dosing)
• History of hysterectomy, loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), conization or cryosurgery
• Pregnant or lactating
• Unwilling to refrain from sexual intercourse or from using intra-vaginal medications/products from 72 hours prior to Day 1 until discharge from the study
• Any condition possibly affecting drug absorption (eg, gastrectomy)
• Positive urine drug screen
• Active hepatitis B infection
• Active hepatitis C infection
• A positive test for bacterial vaginosis, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, HSV-2 (active lesions) or trichomonas at screening
