Abstract

This was a single-dose, randomized, open-label, 2-period crossover study to evaluate the bioequivalence of the ACC008 (test formulation [T]) versus coadministered ainuovirine (ANV) 150 mg, lamivudine (3TC) 300 mg, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg (reference formulation [R]) in the fasted state among the Chinese healthy adults. Eligible subjects were randomized into 2 cohorts to received treatment in 1 of 2 sequences (T → R, R → T). PK samples were collected from 1 hour before dosing to 144 hours after dosing in each period. The concentrations of ANV, 3TC, and tenofovir in plasma were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Phoenix WinNonlin software was used for pharmacokinetic parameter calculation and bioequivalence evaluation. All the 90% confidence intervals of maximum concentration, area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the last detectable time, and area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity fell within the bioequivalence range. The safety was comparable between the 2 treatments, with no Grade III/VI or serious adverse events. ACC008 was bioequivalent to administration of its individual components, including ANV 150 mg, 3TC 300 mg, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg with favorable safety profile.
