Human immune virus (HIV) infected subjects may take mineral supplements in combination with their antiretroviral medications. Calcium and Iron supplementations are commonly used and both of these have the potential to interact with Dolutegravir (DTG), this study will evaluate the potential of calcium and iron supplements to decrease DTG exposure. It will also evaluate two possible strategies for combined use; if an interaction is observed. The first strategy is a two hour separation. The second strategy involves the administration of DTG and the supplement with a meal since the presence of food modestly increases DTG exposure, and because mineral supplements can be administered with food. This is an open label, randomized, two cohort, four-period cross-over study in healthy volunteers. One cohort will examine the effects of calcium carbonate and the other cohort will examine the effects of ferrous fumarate on the pharmacokinetic (PK) of DTG. Approximately 12 subjects will be enrolled into each of the two cohorts and receive each of four treatments in a randomized fashion: 1) A single dose of DTG 50 milligram (mg) administered under fasted conditions ; 2) A single dose of DTG 50 mg co-administered with a single dose of calcium carbonate or ferrous fumarate under fasted conditions ; 3) A single dose of DTG 50 mg co-administered with a single dose of calcium carbonate or ferrous fumarate with a moderate-fat meal; 4) A single dose of DTG 50 mg administered under fasted conditions 2 hours prior to administration of a single dose of calcium carbonate or ferrous fumarate. There will be a washout period of at least 7 days between treatments. Safety evaluations and serial PK samples will be collected during each treatment period. A follow-up visit will occur 7-14 days after the last dose of study drug. This study will be conducted at one center in the United States, with healthy adult male and female subjects.

One tablet ( 50 mg) will be administered orally as a single dose in each period per the random code
Two tablets (2 X 600 mg) will be administered orally as a single dose in three out of four periods to Cohort 1 only per the random code. Calcium carbonate will be given in fasted state, fed state and 2 hours before dolutegravir administration.
One tablet (324 mg) will be administered orally as a single dose in three out of four periods to Cohort 2 only per the random code. Ferrous fumarate will be given in fasted state, fed state and 2 hours before dolutegravir administration.
Single dose plasma DTG PK assessed by AUC (0-t) and AUC (0-infinity)
To evaluate the single dose PK of DTG, area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to last time of quantifiable concentration (AUC \[0-t\]) and area under the concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinite time (AUC (0-infinity) will be assessed with DTG given alone and when given with Calcium Carbonate (co-administered in fed or fasted state or 2 hours (hrs) separation, fasted) or Ferrous Fumarate (co-administered in fed or fasted state or 2 hrs separation, fasted)
Time frame: Blood samples (2 mililiter [mL]) for plasma PK parameters will be collected on Day 1 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hrs post-dose), Day 2 (24 and 36 hrs post-dose) and Day 3 (48 hrs post- dose) in each of the four treatment periods
Single dose plasma DTG PK assessed by Cmax and C24
To evaluate the single dose PK of DTG, maximum observed concentration (Cmax) and concentration at 24 hours post-dose (C24) will be assessed with DTG given alone and when given with Calcium Carbonate (co-administered in fed or fasted state or 2 hrs separation, fasted) or Ferrous Fumarate (co-administered in fed or fasted state or 2 hrs separation, fasted)
Time frame: Blood samples (2 mL) for plasma PK parameters will be collected on Day 1 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hrs post-dose), day 2 (24 and 36 hrs post-dose) and day 3 (48 hrs post dose) in each of the four
Safety and tolerability assessed by change from baseline in electrocardiogram (ECG)
Single 12-lead ECGs will be obtained at each time point during the study using an ECG machine that automatically calculates the heart rate and measures PR, QRS, QT, and QTc intervals.
Time frame: Baseline and up to 36 days
Safety and tolerability assessed by number of subjects with adverse events (AEs)
AEs will be collected from the start of Study Treatment and until the follow-up contact
Time frame: up to 36 days
Safety and tolerability assessed by toxicity grading of clinical laboratory tests
Clinical laboratory tests include hematology, clinical chemistry, pregnancy test, alcohol and drug of abuse screen, and other additional parameters
Time frame: up to 36 days
Single dose plasma DTG PK assessed by AUC (0-24)
To evaluate the single dose PK of DTG, area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 24 hrs post dose (AUC \[0-24\]) will be assessed when DTG will be given alone and when given with Calcium Carbonate (co-administered in fed or fasted state or 2 hrs separation, fasted) or Ferrous Fumarate (co-administered in fed or fasted state or 2 hrs separation, fasted)
Time frame: Blood samples (2 mL) for plasma PK parameter will be collected on day 1 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hrs post-dose), Day 2 (24 and 36 hrs post-dose) and Day 3 (48 hrs post- dose) in each of the four treatment periods.
Single dose plasma DTG PK assessed by tlag, tmax, and t1/2
To evaluate the single dose PK of DTG, lag time before observation of drug concentrations in sampled matrix (tlag), time of occurrence of Cmax (tmax), and terminal phase half-life (t1/2) will be assessed when DTG will be given alone and when given with Calcium Carbonate (co-administered in fed or fasted state or 2 hrs separation, fasted) or Ferrous Fumarate (co-administered in fed or fasted state or 2 hrs separation, fasted).
