Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-1 Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Less Than (<) 50 Copies Per Milliliter (Copies Per mL) (Virologic Response) at Week 48 Defined by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Snapshot Approach
At Week 48

Percentage of participants with a HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies per mL were assessed using FDA snapshot approach which defines a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within an allowed window of time, along with study drug discontinuation status. The snapshot approach classified participants into 3 outcome categories: 1) virologic success (HIV RNA \< 20/50/200 copies per mL at Week 48), 2) virologic failure (HIV RNA greater than or equal to \[\>=\] 20/50/200 copies per mL at Week 48), 3) no viral load data in the Week 48 visit window (discontinued due to adverse event/death/other reason). The missing HIV-1 RNA is considered as non-response.

Percentage of Participants with Ability to Take the Darunavir/Cobicistat (DRV/COBI) Fixed Dosed Combination (FDC) Tablet Dispersed in Water as Reported by the Observer
Day 1

The percentage of participants that is able to swallow the medication fully versus partially or not at all, based on the questionnaire for the observer will be reported.

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Darunavir (DRV)
Pre dose, up to 72 hours post dose (up to Day 4)

Cmax is defined as the maximum observed plasma concentration of DRV.

Area Under the DRV Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Time (AUC[0-last]) of DRV
Pre dose, up to 72 hours post dose (up to Day 4)

AUC (0-last) is the area under the DRV concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last measurable (non-below quantification limit \[non-BQL\]) concentration, calculated by linear-linear trapezoidal summation.

Area Under the DRV Concentration-time Curve from Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC[0-infinity]) of DRV
Pre dose, up to 72 hours post dose (up to Day 4)

AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the DRV concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC (0-last) and C(last)/lambda(z).

Maximum Observed Analyte Concentration (Cmax) of Dabigatran Etexilate (Free and Total)
Up to Day 18

Cmax is the maximum observed analyte concentration.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve from Time Zero to the Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC[0-last]) of Dabigatran Etexilate (Free and Total)
Up to Day 18

AUC(0-last) is the Area under the curve (AUC) from time 0 to the time of last measurable (non-below quantification limit) concentration, calculated by linear-linear trapezoidal summation.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve from Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC0-infinity) of Dabigatran Etexilate (Free and Total)
Up to Day 18

AUC(0-infinity) is defined as area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time.

Frequently asked questions about DRV/COBI

What is DRV/COBI used for?

DRV/COBI is a fixed-dose combination of darunavir and cobicistat being studied for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) infection. It is also being evaluated in healthy participants for drug interaction studies and in HIV-1 infected children. The drug is currently in clinical development and is not approved.

Who makes DRV/COBI?

DRV/COBI is being developed by Johnson & Johnson, a company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol JNJ. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this fixed-dose combination in various patient populations.

What phase is DRV/COBI in?

DRV/COBI is in Phase 1 clinical development. While one completed trial was a Phase 3 study, the most recent trials listed are Phase 1 studies. The drug remains investigational and has not received regulatory approval for any indication.

What clinical trials is DRV/COBI in?

DRV/COBI has been studied in several completed trials. NCT02431247 was a Phase 3 study in 725 treatment-naive HIV-1 infected adults. NCT04208061 and NCT05378906 were Phase 1 drug interaction studies in healthy participants. NCT05197075 was a Phase 1 acceptability study in HIV-1 infected children.

Is DRV/COBI the same as darunavir/cobicistat?

Yes, DRV/COBI is the same as darunavir/cobicistat. The drug is a fixed-dose combination of these two antiretroviral agents. It is being studied alone or as part of a four-drug regimen with emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide for HIV-1 treatment.
