All Participants

Sex: Female, Male

Region of Enrollment

Pharmacokinetic parameters (maximum and trough concentrations, and area under concentratof boceprevir and SJW will be evaluated when given in combination at steady-state to evaluate possible differences in concentrations during co-administration versus drug given alone.
The pharmacokinetic parameters calculated for boceprevir and SJW will be Ctrough,the maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax), time point at Cmax (Tmax), and total drug exposure, expressed as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve.
All pharmacokinetic parameters will be calculated using non-compartmental modelling techniques (WinNonlin®) and all statistical calculations performed within-participant changes in the assessed pharmacokinetic parameters (drug alone vs drug combination) will be evaluated by calculating geometric mean ratios.
