Registration Number
NCT01660477
Lead Sponsor
Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this two part study is to assess the effect of multiple doses of isavuconazole on the pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of lopinavir/ritonavir and the effect of multiple doses of lopinavir/ritonavir on the pharmacokinetics of isavuconazole.

Part 1 of the study includes 12 subjects randomized to receive either isavuconazole alone or isavuconazole in combination with lopinavir/ritonavir. The purpose of Part 1 is to evaluate safety and tolerability and to establish the effect of multiple doses of lopinavir/ritonavir on isavuconazole.

Part 2, if initiated, includes 54 subjects randomized to receive isavuconazole alone, lopinavir/ritonavir alone, or isavuconazole in combination with lopinavir/ritonavir.
