Brief Summary

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

The main purpose of this study is to characterize the single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of rilpivirine (RPV) after intramuscular (IM) injection of rilpivirine long-acting parenteral formulation (RPV LA) nanosuspensions with different particle size distribution (PSD), in healthy adult participants.

Detailed Description

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

This is a phase 1, open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), randomized (study medication is assigned by chance), parallel-group, sequential study in healthy adult participants to characterize the single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of rilpivirine (RPV) after intramuscular (IM) injection of RPV LA nanosuspensions with different particle size distributions (PSD), in healthy adult participants. A total of 110 healthy adult participants will be enrolled in this study. The study will consist of 2 treatment sessions in a fixed sequential order: Session 1- all participants will receive a single oral dose of rilpivirine 25 milligram (mg) as oral immediate release solution on Day 1; Session 2- the participants will be randomized in session 2 on Day 1 in a 1:1:1:1:1 ratio to Treatments A, B, C, D and E. Each treatment group will receive a single IM injection of RPV LA on Day 1 of session 2. Session 1 and 2 will be separated by a washout period of at least 14 days. The total study duration for each participant will be approximately 9.5 months. Safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort 1-RPV LA: Treatment B

Participants will receive single dose of 25 milligram (mg) rilpivirine (RPV) as an oral solution on Day 1 in Session 1 and Treatment B containing a single intramuscular (IM) injection of 600 mg rilpivirine long-acting parenteral formulation (RPV LA) \[with different particle size distribution (PSD) as compared to Treatment A, D, C and E\] on Day 1 of session 2. Both the sessions are separated by a wash-out Period of at least 14 days.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Participant must be willing and able to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in this protocol
* Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the use of contraceptive methods for participants participating in clinical studies
* A female participant of childbearing potential must have a negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin test at screening and on Day -1 of each session
* For the duration of the study and for at least 6 months after intramuscular (IM) injection of rilpivirine long-acting parenteral formulation (RPV LA) (or 1 month after administration of rilpivirine (RPV) oral solution for participants who discontinue after Session 1), male and female participants must agree to practice effective methods of contraception, and must agree not to donate sperm (males)/eggs (ova, oocytes; for females) for the purposes of assisted reproduction
