Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Assessment of Plasma CAB Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Area Under the Concentration-time Curve Over One Dosing Interval (AUC [0 to Tau])

Blood samples for PK analysis of CAB were collected at pre-dose (within 15 minutes prior to dose) on Days 13 and 14; and 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose on Day 14, pre-dose (within 15 minutes prior to dose) on Days 26, 27 and 28; and 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-dose on Day 28. AUC (0 to tau) was calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule for each incremental trapezoid and the log trapezoidal rule for each decremental trapezoid. PK Summary Population included participants who had CAB PK parameter estimates from both serial PK sampling time periods 1 and 2. Comparisons were made for the repeated dose PK parameters of CAB when given alone in Period 1 and when co-administered with steady-state RBT in Period 2.

Time frame: Pre-dose (within 15 minutes prior to dose) on Days 13 and 14; and 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose on Day 14, pre-dose (within 15 minutes prior to dose) on Days 26, 27 and 28; and 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-dose on Day 28

Assessment of Plasma CAB PK Parameter: Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax)

Secondary Outcomes

Assessment of Plasma CAB PK Parameter: Concentration at the End of the Dosing Interval (Ctau)

Assessment of Plasma CAB PK Parameter: Time of Occurrence of Cmax (Tmax)

Assessment of Plasma CAB PK Parameter: Terminal Phase Half-life (t1/2)

Blood samples for PK analysis of CAB were collected at pre-dose (within 15 minutes prior to dose) on Days 13 and 14; and 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose on Day 14, pre-dose (within 15 minutes prior to dose) on Days 26, 27 and 28; and 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-dose on Day 28. Apparent terminal half-life was calculated as: t1/2 = ln2 / Lambda\_z, where Lambda\_z is the terminal phase rate constant. Plasma t1/2 was not estimated for either period due to limited PK sampling in the terminal phase.

Assessment of Plasma CAB PK Parameter: The Apparent Oral Clearance (CL/F)

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect and associated with liver injury and impaired liver function. Safety Population comprised of all participants who enrolled in the study and received at least one dose of study drug.

Time frame: Up to 10 weeks

Concurrent Medication Assessment in Treatment Period 1 and 2

Concurrent medications included paracetamol and ibuprofen. Number of participants who took concurrent medications during the study are presented.

Time frame: Up to 10 weeks

Assessment of Hematology Parameters: Basophils, Eosinophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Neutrophils, Platelets and Leukocytes

Blood samples for hematology assessment were collected for basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, platelets and leukocytes. NA indicate data not available since only one participant was analyzed, therefore standard deviation was not derived. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed (represented by n= X in the category titles).
