Lack of a clinically important effect of moderate hepatic insufficiency and severe renal insufficiency on raltegravir pharmacokinetics.

ABSTRACT: Raltegravir is a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 integrase strand transfer inhibitor with potent activity in vitro and in vivo. Raltegravir is primarily cleared by hepatic metabolism via glucuronidation (via UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1A1), with a minor component of elimination occurring via the renal pathway. Since the potential exists for raltegravir to be administered to patients with hepatic or renal insufficiency, two studies were conducted to evaluate the influence of moderate hepatic insufficiency (assessed by using the Child-Pugh criteria) and severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance, <30 ml/min/1.73 m(2)) on the pharmacokinetics of raltegravir. Study I evaluated the pharmacokinetics of 400 mg raltegravir in eight patients with moderate hepatic insufficiency and eight healthy, matched control subjects. Study II evaluated the pharmacokinetics of 400 mg raltegravir in 10 patients with severe renal insufficiency and 10 healthy, matched control subjects. All participants received a single 400-mg dose of raltegravir in the fasted state. In study I, the geometric mean ratios (GMR; mean value for the group with moderate hepatic insufficiency/mean value for the healthy controls) and 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC(0-infinity)), the maximum concentration of drug in plasma (C(max)), and the concentration at 12 h (C(12)) were 0.86 (90% CI, 0.41, 1.77), 0.63 (90% CI, 0.23, 1.70), and 1.26 (90% CI, 0.65, 2.43), respectively. In study II, the GMRs (mean value for the group with renal insufficiency/mean value for the healthy controls) and 90% CIs for AUC(0-infinity), C(max), and C(12) were 0.85 (90% CI, 0.49, 1.49), 0.68 (90% CI, 0.35, 1.32), and 1.28 (90% CI, 0.79, 2.06), respectively. Raltegravir was generally well tolerated by patients with moderate hepatic or severe renal insufficiency, and there was no clinically important effect of moderate hepatic or severe renal insufficiency on the pharmacokinetics of raltegravir. No adjustment in the dose of raltegravir is required for patients with mild or moderate hepatic or renal insufficiency.

Project description:Background and objectiveZibotentan, a selective endothelin A receptor antagonist, is in development for chronic liver and kidney disease. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of zibotentan were previously investigated in patients with either renal impairment or hepatic impairment, but the impact of both pathologies on PK was not evaluated. This study evaluated the PK and tolerability of a single oral dose of zibotentan in participants with concurrent moderate renal impairment and moderate hepatic impairment versus control participants.MethodsTwelve participants with moderate renal and hepatic impairment and 11 healthy matched control participants with no clinically significant liver or kidney disease were enrolled in an open-label, parallel-group study design. After administration of a single oral dose of zibotentan 5 mg, blood and urine sampling was performed. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined for each of the two cohorts and compared. Comparisons between the cohorts were based on the geometric least squares mean ratio for the primary endpoints, which were area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero to infinity (AUC∞) and from time zero to the time of the last measurable concentration (AUClast), and maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax) on Day 1 through 120 h post-dose. Secondary endpoints included apparent total body clearance (CL/F) on Day 1 through 120 h post-dose. Safety endpoints were assessed up to discharge.ResultsIn total, 11 participants with concurrent moderate renal and hepatic impairment, and 11 controls, completed the study. Zibotentan was generally well tolerated, and no new clinically significant safety findings were observed. Total exposure (AUC∞ and AUClast) was approximately 2.10-fold higher in participants with concurrent moderate renal and hepatic impairment versus controls, while Cmax and total nonrenal body clearance were similar among all groups. A regression-based post hoc analysis, comparing exposure and CL/F in patients with concurrent impairment to patients with either renal or hepatic impairment alone, showed that CL/F with concurrent impairment was approximately half of that in controls and was positively correlated with reduction of renal function. Inclusion of the data on concurrent moderate renal and hepatic impairment in the regression analysis led to a narrower confidence interval for the predicted mean CL/F in participants with moderate hepatic impairment.ConclusionThe presented findings advance the understanding of the PK of zibotentan in both renal impairment and hepatic impairment, with and without overlapping pathologies, and will thus increase the confidence of dose selection in future studies, particularly in vulnerable patient populations with concurrent renal and hepatic impairment.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05112419.
