Influence of concurrent oral calcium carbonate supplementation on steady-state pharmacokinetics of once daily oral raltegravir in persons with HIV: a protocol for a prospective open-label non-randomised study in Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Raltegravir is a potent HIV-integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI). Despite its strong activity against HIV-1 strains resistant to other antiretroviral drug classes, it is usually used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs due to the empirical requirement for anti-HIV drug combinations to ensure effective anti-retroviral therapy (ART). As an early-arriving INSTI, raltegravir is clinically familiar for its safety, tolerability and treatment effectiveness. High-dose calcium carbonate formulated as an antacid (as opposed to a supplement formulation) taken orally together with raltegravir is known to reduce systemic raltegravir exposure due to chelation and reduced absorption. This study aims to assess the effect of daily calcium carbonate antacid as TUMS Ultra Strength (US) administration in lower doses, as currently used for oral calcium supplementation, on the steady-state pharmacokinetics (PKs) of once-daily oral raltegravir. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is an open-label, three-treatment series in three periods in a single group, fixed-sequence PK study in 12 healthy adult volunteers with HIV on ART. Subjects will take 1200 mg of raltegravir single QD oral dose alone for 7 days (period one), then raltegravir 1200 mg with calcium carbonate 500 mg from day 8 to day 14 (period two) and raltegravir 1200 mg with calcium carbonate 1000 mg from day 15 to day 22 (period three). We will conduct serial PK sampling from observed dosing on days 7, 14 and 21, with 24-hour PK sampling scheduled for days 8, 15 and 22. Follow-up will continue until day 51. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study will adhere to the ICH GCP Guidelines and the Declaration of Helsinki. Ethics approval was obtained from the Ottawa Health Science Network Research Ethics Board under study ID 20190750-01 hour. Informed consent will be obtained from all participants prior to enrolment. This protocol will be published in a peer-reviewed journal prior to the study's completion and closure. Results generated from this activity will also be reported in a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04258475.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
