Interaction With HIV Antiretroviral Agents

Registration Number
NCT02556268
Lead Sponsor
Bayer
Brief Summary

To investigate the pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction potential of fixed dose antiretroviral therapies, i.e. ATRIPLA, COMPLERA, STRIBILD, TRIUMEQ, or any approved antiretroviral protease inhibitor in combination with (preferably) TRIUMEQ, on the exposure to riociguat in HIV patients on a stable dose of one of these therapies.

• To Assess the safety and tolerability of riociguat treatment in combination with these fixed-dose antiretroviral therapies.
