LSM, least squares mean; CI, confidence interval; C0h, predose plasma concentration; ND, not determined; Cmin, minimum plasma concentration; Cmax, maximum plasma concentration; C12h, plasma concentration at 12 hours; tmax, time to reach the maximum plasma concentration; AUC12h, area under the plasma concentration–time curve over 12 h; CL/F, apparent clearance.

Median (range) for tmax.

n = 10 for AUC12h.

Data for unbound darunavir were not available for all patients because of poor sample quality (protein in the filtrate) or low sample volume.
