two part study to evaluate pharmacokinetics, safety, and antiviral activity of elvitegravir administered with a pi/r background regimen for arv treatment-experienced pediatric participants

Conditions: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS); HIV Infections

Summary: the primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability and steady-state pk and confirm the dose of evg/r in hiv-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-experienced children 4 weeks to \<18 years of age. the study consists of 2 parts: part a and part b. part a will enroll participants with suppressed viremia (hiv-1 rna \ 1,000 copies/ml only for participants in cohort 2, part a) to evaluate the steady state pk and confirm the dose of evg. part b will enroll participants who are failing a current arv regimen (hiv-1 rna \> 1,000 copies/ml) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of evg. the study consists of 4 age cohorts with each cohort including 2 parts (part a and part b) with the exception of the adolescent age cohort (cohort 1: 12 to \< 18 years old) containing part b only.
