a

Treatment was with lersivirine at 1,000 mg q.d. plus rifabutin at 300 mg q.d. One subject discontinued.

b

Treatment was with rifabutin at 300 mg q.d. One subject discontinued.

c

The adjusted geometric mean was obtained by exponentiation of the mean estimate from the statistical analysis. Natural log-transformed data were analyzed using a mixed-effect model with sequence, period, and treatment as fixed effects and subject within sequence as a random effect.

d

Data represent median (range).
