CYP3A = cytochrome P450 3A

"Figure description: An unboosted high dose of a rapidly cleared compound requires a high AUC and a Cmax to achieve an acceptable trough concentration. With RTV boosting, it is possible for a much lower dose to provide a superior trough concentration, even while overall exposure and Cmax are reduced"
