Brief Summary

Human immune virus (HIV) infected subjects may take mineral supplements in combination with their antiretroviral medications. Calcium and Iron supplementations are commonly used and both of these have the potential to interact with Dolutegravir (DTG), this study will evaluate the potential of calcium and iron supplements to decrease DTG exposure. It will also evaluate two possible strategies for combined use; if an interaction is observed. The first strategy is a two hour separation. The second strategy involves the administration of DTG and the supplement with a meal since the presence of food modestly increases DTG exposure, and because mineral supplements can be administered with food.

This is an open label, randomized, two cohort, four-period cross-over study in healthy volunteers. One cohort will examine the effects of calcium carbonate and the other cohort will examine the effects of ferrous fumarate on the pharmacokinetic (PK) of DTG. Approximately 12 subjects will be enrolled into each of the two cohorts and receive each of four treatments in a randomized fashion: 1) A single dose of DTG 50 milligram (mg) administered under fasted conditions ; 2) A single dose of DTG 50 mg co-administered with a single dose of calcium carbonate or ferrous fumarate under fasted conditions ; 3) A single dose of DTG 50 mg co-administered with a single dose of calcium carbonate or ferrous fumarate with a moderate-fat meal; 4) A single dose of DTG 50 mg administered under fasted conditions 2 hours prior to administration of a single dose of calcium carbonate or ferrous fumarate. There will be a washout period of at least 7 days between treatments. Safety evaluations and serial PK samples will be collected during each treatment period. A follow-up visit will occur 7-14 days after the last dose of study drug. This study will be conducted at one center in the United States, with healthy adult male and female subjects.

Study Groups

Cohort 1

Subjects in this cohort will take part in 4 treatment periods with one of the following treatments in each period. Subjects will receive all four treatments (one per period) in a random order. Treatment A = single dose DTG 50 mg fasted. Treatment B = single dose DTG 50 mg + Calcium Carbonate 1200 mg fasted. Treatment C = single dose of DTG 50 mg + Calcium Carbonate 1200 mg fed. Treatment D = single dose DTG 50 mg 2 hours prior to single dose Calcium Carbonate 1200 mg fasted

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Dolutegravir 50 mg

Intervention Type: DRUG

One tablet ( 50 mg) will be administered orally as a single dose in each period per the random code

Calcium Carbonate 1200 mg

Intervention Type: DRUG

Two tablets (2 X 600 mg) will be administered orally as a single dose in three out of four periods to Cohort 1 only per the random code. Calcium carbonate will be given in fasted state, fed state and 2 hours before dolutegravir administration.

Cohort 2

Subjects in this cohort will take part in 4 treatment periods with one of the following treatments in each period. Subjects will receive all four treatments (one per period) in a random order. Treatment A = single dose DTG 50 mg fasted. Treatment E = single dose DTG 50 mg + Ferrous Fumarate 324 mg fasted. Treatment F = single dose of DTG 50 mg + Ferrous Fumarate 324 mg fed. Treatment G = single dose DTG 50 mg 2 hours prior to single dose Ferrous Fumarate 324 mg fasted

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Dolutegravir 50 mg
