What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    The Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration.

    Measured: Predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 hours postdose

  2. Concentration at Last Quantifiable Time Point (Clast)

    Clast is defined as concentration at last quantifiable time point.

    Measured: Predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 hours postdose

  3. Time to Reach the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax)

    Tmax is defined as the time to reach the maximum plasma concentration.

    Measured: Predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 hours postdose

  4. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Time the Last Quantifiable Time (AUC[0-last])

    AUC(0-last) is defined as area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time the last quantifiable time, calculated by linear trapezoidal summation.

    Measured: Predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 hours postdose

  5. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC0-infinity)

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

    Measured: Predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 hours postdose

  6. Elimination Rate Constant (Lambda[z])

    Lambda(z) is first-order rate constant associated with the terminal portion of the curve, determined as the negative slope of the terminal log-linear phase of the drug concentration-time curve.

    Measured: Predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 hours postdose

  7. Terminal Elimination Half-Life (t1/2)

    t1/2 is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by 1 half to its original concentration. It is associated with the terminal slope of the semi logarithmic drug concentration-time curve, and is calculated as 0.693/lambda(z).

    Measured: Predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 hours postdose

  8. Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F)

    Vz/F is defined as the apparent volume of distribution at the terminal phase after extravascular administration.

    Measured: Predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 hours postdose

  9. Apparent Total Body Clearance of Drug at the Terminal Phase After Extravascular Administration (CL/F)

    CL/F is the apparent total body clearance of drug at the terminal phase after extravascular administration.

    Measured: Predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 hours postdose

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study.

    Measured: Up to approximately 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Darunavir/Cobicistat in people with Healthy, run by Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K. at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jun 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) (time frame: Predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 hours postdose). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Feb 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
