Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. Develop adjusted doses of darunavir/ritonavir for use in HIV-infected patients requiring co-treatment of TB with a rifampicin-based regimen.
2. Compare the steady state pharmacokinetics of doubled doses of DRV/r with rifampicin (in once daily and 12-hourly approaches) to standard daily doses without rifampicin.
3. Twenty-eight volunteers will be enrolled for a target of 24 participants completing the study.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
We will enrol virologically suppressed participants on a second-line DRV/r regimen without TB. Based on data from a Physiologically-Based PK model, we selected two adjusted doses of DRV/r (1600/200 mg daily and 800/100 mg 12 hourly) with RIF for comparison to plasma exposures with DRV/r 800/100 mg daily without RIF, in a cross-over design.
Baseline DRV steady state PK will be determined and RIF added for 7 days, then the dose of ritonavir will be increased to 200 mg; 7 days later the dose of DRV will be increased; after another 7 days participants will be crossed over to the alternative adjusted DRV dose.
DRV will be measured in plasma samples after observed doses at baseline and after each dose adjustment. Non-compartmental analysis will be used to estimate the PK measures. Clinical adverse events, ALT, and bilirubin will be monitored every 2 to 3 days during treatment with RIF.
