Registration Number
NCT01388543
Lead Sponsor
University of Colorado, Denver
Brief Summary

This study evaluated the blood levels of atazanavir according to a genetic makeup for CYP3A5 (cytochrome P450 3A5, an enzyme that metabolizes atazanavir). The hypothesis was that people with a slow-metabolizing genotype would have higher blood levels of atazanavir compared to people with the normal metabolizing genotype.
