PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 hours after dosing on Day 1 of each period

Population: The per-protocol population consisting of participants from Part 1 only, who complied with the study procedure and had available data from at least one treatment. One participant did not complete one period of Maalox-4 hour-Raltegravir treatment, resulting in an n = 17.

Blood was drawn 12 hours after dosing with raltegravir in order to determine the geometric mean plasma concentration.

Population: The per-protocol population consisting of participants from Part 1 only, who complied with the study procedure and had available data from at least one treatment. One participant did not complete one period of Maalox-4 hour-Raltegravir treatment, resulting in an n = 17.

Blood was drawn at time 0, and at various intervals up to 12 hours after dosing with raltegravir in order to determine the geometric mean area under the curve plasma concentration versus time.
