Study Overview
Brief Summary
In order to define the safe windows for co-dosing of metal-cation antacids with once daily administered raltegravir, this study will evaluate the effect of both calcium carbonate and magnesium/aluminum hydroxide antacids on the pharmacokinetics of raltegravir, due to dosage of 1200 mg raltegravir in HIV-infected participants already taking 400 mg raltegravir twice daily as part of their HIV treatment regimen.

Arms & Interventions
Raltegravir Pre- and 4 Period Sequence
Starting five days prior to Period 1 participants will be treated with 1200 mg raltegravir, once daily for five days. In Period 1 participants will be treated with 1200 raltegravir alone; this is followed by Period 2 where participants will be treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and TUMS concomitantly; this is followed by Period 3 where participants will be treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and 12 hours later with Leader Antacid; followed by Period 4 where participants will be treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and 12 hours later with TUMS. The wait between Periods is 2-7 days.
Intervention: Raltegravir 1200 mg (Drug)

Primary Outcomes
Plasma Concentration at 24 Hrs Post-dose (C24hr) of Raltegravir Following Once Daily Administration of Raltegravir
Time Frame: 24 hours post-dose
In Period 1 participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir alone; followed by Period 2 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and three tablets of TUMS US 1000 taken orally concomitantly; followed by Period 3 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and 12 hours later with 20 mL Leader Antacid MS taken orally; followed by Period 4 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and 12 hours later with three tablets of TUMS US 1000 taken orally. The wait between Periods was a maximum of 7 days, during which participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir once daily. To determine the plasma concentration of raltegravir, blood samples were collected at 24 hours post-dose, and ANOVA modeling was performed on natural log-transformed values to derive geometric least-squares means.

In Period 1 participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir alone; followed by Period 2 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and three tablets of TUMS Ultra Strength (US) 1000 taken orally concomitantly; followed by Period 3 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and 12 hours later with 20 mL Leader Antacid Maximum Strength (MS) taken orally; followed by Period 4 where participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir and 12 hours later with three tablets of TUMS US 1000 taken orally. The wait between Periods was a maximum of 7 days, during which participants were treated with 1200 mg raltegravir once daily. To determine the plasma concentration of raltegravir, blood samples were collected from pre-dose up to 24 hours post-dose, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) modeling was performed on natural log-transformed values to derive geometric least-squares means.
