Clinical Trials

Darunavir has been evaluated across numerous clinical trials spanning Phase 1 through Phase 4 development. These studies primarily target human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infections, while also assessing healthy subject pharmacokinetics, pediatric formulations, fixed-dose combinations, and cardiovascular outcomes. Encompassing recruitment statuses ranging from completed and active to recruiting, not yet recruiting, and terminated, this research is supported by a diverse array of sponsors including Janssen Research & Development LLC, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and the PENTA Foundation.

Check the Darunavir product page for in-depth specifications, including solubility, stock solutions, MOA, and working concentrations.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Darunavir functions as a nonpeptidic HIV protease inhibitor that selectively binds to the active site of viral HIV-1 protease, thereby blocking the cleavage of Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins. This target inhibition prevents viral precursor processing and maturation into infectious particles, halting viral replication to effectively suppress viral burden in patients with HIV infection.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards

Quality Dimension RUO (Research Use Only) cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice)
Clinical Applicability Prohibited in human clinical trials or medical diagnostics. Mandatory for human clinical trials (Phase I–III) and therapies.
Regulatory Status Non-regulated grade; exempt from drug manufacturing laws. Legally enforced by health authorities (e.g., FDA, EMA, NMPA).
Facility Environment Unclassified analytical or research laboratories. Validated Cleanrooms (ISO Class 5–8) with continuous monitoring.
Quality Control Basic purity and activity testing. Rigorous safety release testing (Sterility, Endotoxin, Mycoplasma).
Process Validation Basic equipment calibration; no process validation required. Full qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) and complete batch records.
Quality Assurance Vendor self-declared without required formal QMS. Mandatory QA/QC unit, Change Control, CAPA, and vendor audits.
Regulatory Impact High risk of IND rejection if used as a critical raw material. Required for IND/NDA filings, supported by Drug Master Files (DMF).

Footnotes

Regulatory Note: Governed by FDA (21 CFR Parts 210/211/312), EMA (EudraLex Vol 4), ICH Guidelines (E6/Q7/Q9/Q10), and compendial standards (USP <71>/<85>/<1043>).
