An effect of moderate hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics and safety of darapladib.

ABSTRACT: This was a phase 1, open label, non-randomized study designed to assess the pharmacokinetics and safety/tolerability of 10 consecutive once daily 40?mg oral doses of darapladib in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (n = 12) compared with matched healthy volunteers (n = 12).For total darapladib, a small increase in total and peak exposure was observed in the subjects with moderate hepatic impairment compared with the subjects with normal hepatic function. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve during a dosing interval of duration ? (AUC(0,?), geometric mean 223?ng?ml(-1) ?h [90% CI 158, 316?ng?ml(-1?) h], in moderate hepatic impaired subjects, vs. geometric mean 186?ng?ml(-1?) h [90% CI 159, 217?ng?ml(-1?) h], in healthy subjects) and maximum concentration (Cmax ) were 20% and 7% higher, respectively, in the subjects with moderate hepatic impairment than in the healthy control subjects and there was no change in time to maximum concentration (tmax ). Protein binding was performed to measure the amount of unbound drug vs. bound. Steady-state was achieved by day 10 for darapladib and its metabolites (M4, M3 and M10). Darapladib was generally well tolerated, with adverse events (AEs) reported by seven subjects in the hepatic impairment group and three subjects in the healthy matched group (five and one of which were drug-related AEs, respectively). The most common AEs were gastrointestinal. These AEs were mostly mild to moderate and there were no deaths, serious AEs or withdrawals due to AEs.The results of this phase 1 study show that darapladib (40?mg) is well tolerated and its pharmacokinetics remain relatively unchanged in patients with moderate hepatic impairment.

Project description:Abstract Background Rezafungin (RZF) is a novel echinocandin antifungal being developed for treatment of candidemia and invasive candidiasis, and for prevention of invasive fungal diseases among immunosuppressed patients. In the Phase 2 and Phase 3 treatment trials of rezafungin compared with caspofungin (STRIVE [NCT02734862] and ReSTORE [NCT03667690], respectively), patients with severe hepatic impairment (HI) were not included due to lack of caspofungin data in this population. Rezafungin was previously evaluated in patients with moderate hepatic impairment. Here we report an open-label, single-dose study on rezafungin in patients with HI (Child-Pugh class C). Methods To investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of RZF in subjects with HI and healthy subjects (HS), 8 subjects with HI and 8 HS matched for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) were enrolled and received a single 400-mg intravenous 1-hour infusion of RZF. Plasma PK sampling was performed at various time points through 336 hours postdose. RZF PK parameters were derived using non-compartmental analysis. Safety was assessed throughout the study. Results The majority of the HI subjects were White (87.5%) and male (75%) while equal distribution between White and Black or African American was observed among HS (50%) and 75% were male. The mean age of HI subjects was 58 years (range, 41–68 years) and 56.6 years (range, 50–61 years) for the HS. Mean BMI was 29.7 kg/m2 (range, 24.5–34.3 kg/m2) for HI subjects and 29.7 kg/m2 (range, 25.4–34.2 kg/m2) for the HS. RZF exposure (Cmax and AUC) in subjects with HI was ~30% lower than that in HS (Table 1), while half-life was generally similar (HI: 121 h, HS:124 h; Figure 1). Three HI subjects had one adverse event (AE) each (bronchitis, worsening hepatic encephalopathy, hyponatremia), all moderate in severity; one HS had 1 AE of infusion site infiltration mild in severity. No AEs were considered related to RZF, and all were resolved or resolving by the end of the study. Table 1. Plasma Rezafungin PK Parameter Estimates in Subjects with Severe Hepatic Impairment or Normal Hepatic Function After a Single 400 mg IV Infusion of Rezafungin Figure 1. Mean (+SD) Plasma Rezafungin Concentration-Time Profiles in Subjects with Severe Hepatic Impairment or Normal Hepatic Function After a Single 400-mg IV Infusion of Rezafungin (Semi-Logarithmic Scale) Conclusion RZF was well tolerated in HI subjects and showed modestly reduced exposure that was within the range observed in matched HS. These findings support no RZF dose adjustment in subjects with severe hepatic impairment.

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.
