• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 1969-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The primary objective was to explore the relative bioavailability of increasing doses of BILR 355 BS, as a sodium dodecyl sulfate-containing solid formulation (SDS), in combination with ritonavir 100 mg and to explore the dose-concentration proportionality of increasing doses.

A secondary objective was to explore the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of BILR 355 (SDS)
