The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (explores what the body does to the drug) and safety of darunavir, and will be administered in combination with Ritonavir in healthy adult Japanese male participants.
This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single oral-dose and post-marketing study of darunavir administered in combination with low-dose ritonavir in healthy adult Japanese male participants. The total study duration will be approximately of 14 days per participant. The study consists of 3 parts: Screening (that is, 28 days before study commences on Day 1); Treatment (that is, Day 1-5); and Follow-up (that is, up to Day 13). The participants will be hospitalized for 6 nights and 7 days. All the eligible participants will receive Darunavir oral tablet on Day 3 and ritonavir capsule orally twice daily from Day 1-5. Participants will keep upright position until 4 hours after study drug administration. Both the drugs will be administered within 15 minutes after completion of meal. Blood samples will be collected for evaluation of pharmacokinetics at pre-dose and post-dose of study treatment. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Change in Plasma Darunavir Concentration
Plasma concentration of Darunavir will be determined by collecting blood samples at the defined time points.
Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Darunavir
The Cmax is the maximum plasma concentration.
Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-infinity]) of Darunavir
The AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z), wherein AUC(last) is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time; and C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration; and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant.
Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3
Terminal Half-Life(t[1/2]) of Darunavir
Terminal half-life (t\[(1/2\]) is defined as 0.693/Lambda(z).
Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3
Time to reach maximum concentration (tmax) of Darunavir
The Tmax is time to reach the maximum plasma concentration.
Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-last]) of Darunavir
The AUC (0-last) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z), wherein AUC(last) is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time; and C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration; and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant.

Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3
Apparent total body clearance (CL/F) of Darunavir
Clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the body. The CL/F will be calculated by dividing the dose by AUC (0-infinity)
Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3
Apparent volume of distribution at the terminal Phase (Vd[z] /F) of Darunavir
Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired blood concentration of a drug.The Vd(z)/F will be calculated by dividing CL/F by lambda(z).
Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose of darunavir on Day 3
Change in Plasma Ritonavir Concentration
Plasma concentration of Darunavir will be determined by collecting blood samples at the defined time points.
Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) on Day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Ritonavir
The Cmax is the maximum plasma concentration.
Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) on Day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

The Tmax is time to reach the maximum plasma concentration.
Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) on Day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to 12 hours (AUC [0-12]) of Ritonavir
The AUC (0-12) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 12 hours, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z), wherein AUC(last) is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time; and C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration; and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant.
Time frame: 0 hour (pre-dose) on Day 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
