Frequently asked questions about Darunavir

What is Darunavir used for?

Darunavir is used for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), including HIV-1 infections. It is being studied in pregnant women with HIV and HIV infections, as well as in healthy participants for pharmacokinetic and bioequivalence studies. The drug is in clinical development for these infectious disease indications.

Who makes Darunavir?

Darunavir is developed by Johnson & Johnson, a company traded under the ticker JNJ. The drug is a small molecule being investigated for the treatment of HIV and HIV-1 infections.

What phase is Darunavir in?

Darunavir is in Phase 3 clinical development for HIV and HIV infections. It is an investigational drug and has not been reported as FDA approved. The Phase 3 trial is completed, and the drug is also being studied in earlier phase trials.

What clinical trials is Darunavir in?

Darunavir has completed clinical trials including NCT00855335, a Phase 3 study in HIV-1 infected pregnant women, and NCT01619527, a Phase 1 bioequivalence study in healthy participants. Other completed trials include NCT02984852 and NCT04718805, both Phase 1 studies in healthy adults.

How does Darunavir work?

Darunavir is a small molecule that targets HIV protease, an enzyme essential for viral replication. By inhibiting this enzyme, the drug prevents the virus from maturing and producing infectious particles, thereby reducing viral load in patients with HIV.

Is Darunavir the same as Prezista?

Darunavir is also known by the brand name Prezista. It is being studied in combination with other antiretroviral agents such as cobicistat and ritonavir for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
