This is an open-label, randomized, crossover study in healthy adult subjects with 5 treatment groups over 5 dosing periods. This study will evaluate pharmacokinetic parameters and relative bioavailability of a dispersible, fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet of TRIUMEQ™ (\[abacavir, ABC\]/\[dolutegravir, DTG\]/\[lamivudine, 3TC\]) when dispersed and consumed under four different dosing conditions in comparison to an oral dose of TIVICAY™ (DTG) + EPZICOM™ (ABC/3TC) non-dispersible tablets administered in the fasted state. Approximately 20 subjects will be randomized, each to one of 5 treatment groups. The total duration of participation of a subject in this study will be approximately 10-11 weeks. It will include a screening visit within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug, five treatment periods each with a single dose of study drug per treatment period and a follow up visit within 7 10 days after the last dose. There will also be a washout of at least 7 days between doses in each treatment period. TRIUMEQ, EPZICOM, and TIVICAY are trademarks of the GlaxoSmithKline group of companies.

Number of subjects with adverse event (AE) and serious adverse event (SAE).
AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. Any untoward event resulting in death, life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect or any other situation according to medical or scientific judgment will be categorized as SAE.
