Summary
This trial studies how a common HIV drug affects how the body uses energy. Healthy adults aged 18-55 can take part. Tests include measuring oxygen intake, X-rays, and laser scans.
Who is the study for?
Healthy individuals aged 18 to 55 who can consent and stay in a clinic for two periods of 11 days. They shouldn't have asthma, COPD, HIV, hepatitis A/B/C, extreme weight changes recently or be athletes. No cancer (except certain skin cancers), diabetes, thyroid issues, glaucoma, psychological conditions like claustrophobia or depression that affect participation safety. Not for pregnant/post-partum women or those with high blood pressure, anemia, drug/alcohol abuse history within five years.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how the HIV medication dolutegravir affects body energy use compared to tenofovir alafenamide. Participants will take one drug for eight days during each clinic stay and undergo tests including room calorimetry measuring oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output six times; DEXA scans for body fat and bone density; plus other assessments of body composition.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed but may include reactions related to metabolic changes due to the medications being tested. Since these drugs are generally used in treating HIV/AIDS patients rather than healthy volunteers as in this study context, specific side effects experienced by participants could differ from typical patient profiles.
