Brief summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether atazanavir powder combined with ritonavir is safe and well tolerated and produces appropriate drug exposure in children ≥3 months to \<6 years of age.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Patients weighing 5 to \<10 kg received atazanavir (ATV), 150-mg powder dosed in 50-mg packets, and ritonavir (RTV) oral solution, 80 mg. Stage 1: Initial dose was determined by patient's weight on the day of first on-treatment study visit (Day 1). ATV dispersible powder was mixed with a small amount of food or beverage. All of the mixture must have been consumed to obtain the full dose. The RTV oral solution was taken immediately before or after the ATV powder preparation. Stage 2: Patients who reached the age of 6 years or a weight of ≥25kg transitioned from the powder to the capsule formulation of ATV. Patients who weighed 15 to \<20 kg received ATV, 150 mg with RTV, 100 mg; those who weighed 20 to \<40 kg received ATV, 200 mg, and RTV, 100 mg; and those who weighed at least 40 kg received ATV, 300 mg with RTV, 100 mg. RTV capsules or tablets were ingested with food immediately before or after ATV intake. arm 2: Patients weighing 10 to \<15 kg received ATV powder, 200 mg, dosed in 50-mg sachet packets and RTV oral solution, 80 mg. Stage 1: Initial dose was determined by the patient's weight on the day of the first on-treatment study visit (Day 1). ATV dispersible powder was mixed with a small amount of food or beverage (water, milk, chocolate milk, liquid infant formula, applesauce, or yogurt). All of the mixture must have been consumed to obtain the full dose. The RTV oral solution was taken immediately before or after the ATV powder preparation. Stage 2: Patients who reached the age of 6 years or a weight of ≥25kg transitioned from the powder to the capsule formulation of ATV. Patients who weighed 15 to \<20 kg received ATV, 150 mg with RTV, 100 mg; those who weighed 20 to \<40 kg received ATV, 200 mg, and RTV, 100 mg; and those who weighed at least 40 kg received ATV, 300 mg with RTV, 100 mg. RTV capsules or tablets were ingested with food immediately before or after ATV intake. arm 3: Patients weighing 15 to \<25 kg received 250 mg of ATV powder dosed in 50-mg sachet packets, with 80 mg of RTV solution. Stage 1: Initial dose was determined by the patient's weight on the day of the first on-treatment study visit (Day 1). ATV dispersible powder was mixed with a small amount of food or beverage (water, milk, chocolate milk, liquid infant formula, applesauce, or yogurt). All of the mixture must have been consumed to obtain the full dose. The RTV oral solution was taken immediately before or after the ATV powder preparation. Stage 2: Patients who reached the age of 6 years or a weight of ≥25kg transitioned from powder to the capsule formulation of ATV. Patients who weighed 15 to \<20 kg received ATV, 150 mg with RTV, 100 mg; those who weighed 20 to \<40 kg received ATV, 200 mg, and RTV, 100 mg; and those who weighed at least 40 kg received ATV, 300 mg with RTV, 100 mg. RTV capsules or tablets were ingested with food immediately before or after ATV intake.

Interventions: intervention 1: Atazanavir powder intervention 2: Ritonavir oral solution intervention 3: Atazanavir capsules intervention 4: Ritonavir capsules
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Powder, oral, dosed by weight. Participants who weighed 5 to \<10 kg received atazanavir (ATV), 150 mg, and ritonavir (RTV), 80 mg; those who weighed 10 to \<15 kg received ATV, 200 mg, and RTV, 80 mg; and those who weighed 15 to \<25 kg received ATV, 250 mg, and RTV, 80 mg, once per day for 48 weeks or until pediatric indication is locally approved and participant meets requirements to receive appropriate formulation. intervention 2: Oral solution, 80 mg/mL, once per day for 48 weeks or until pediatric indication is locally approved and participant meets requirements to receive appropriate formulation. intervention 3: Capsules, oral, dosed by weight in Stage 2. Patients who reached the age of 6 years or a weight of ≥25 kg transitioned from the powder to the capsule formulation of atazanavir (ATV). Patients who weighed 15 to \<20 kg received ATV, 150 mg with RTV, 100 mg; those who weighed 20 to \<40 kg received ATV, 200 mg, and RTV, 100 mg; and those who weighed at least 40 kg received ATV, 300 mg with RTV, 100 mg. RTV capsules or tablets were ingested with food immediately before or after ATV intake. intervention 4: Oral, capsules, 100 mg, administered in Stage 2 with atazanavir capsules, dosed by weight.
