Pharmacokinetics of serelaxin in patients with hepatic impairment: a single-dose, open-label, parallel group study.

ABSTRACT: Serelaxin is a recombinant form of human relaxin-2 in development for treatment of acute heart failure. This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of serelaxin in patients with hepatic impairment. Secondary objectives included evaluation of immunogenicity, safety and tolerability of serelaxin.This was an open-label, parallel group study (NCT01433458) comparing the PK of serelaxin following a single 24?h intravenous (i.v.) infusion (30??g?kg(-1) ?day(-1) ) between patients with mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A, B, C) and healthy matched controls. Blood sampling and standard safety assessments were conducted. Primary non-compartmental PK parameters [including area under the serum concentration-time curve AUC(0-48?h) and AUC(0-?) and serum concentration at 24?h post-dose (C24h )] were compared between each hepatic impairment group and healthy controls.A total of 49 subjects (including 25 patients with hepatic impairment) were enrolled, of which 48 subjects completed the study. In all groups, the serum concentration of serelaxin increased over the first few hours of infusion, reached steady-state at 12-24?h and then declined following completion of infusion, with a mean terminal half-life of 7-8?h. All PK parameter estimates were comparable between each group of patients with hepatic impairment and healthy controls. No serious adverse events, discontinuations due to adverse events or deaths were reported. No serelaxin treatment-related antibodies developed during this study.The PK and safety profile of serelaxin were not affected by hepatic impairment. No dose adjustment is needed for serelaxin treatment of 48?h i.v. infusion in patients with hepatic impairment.

Project description:IntroductionSomapacitan is a long-acting growth hormone (GH) derivative being developed for once-weekly dosing in patients with GH deficiency (GHD). Our objective was to evaluate the impact of kidney or hepatic impairment on somapacitan exposure in adults.MethodsIn two open-label, parallel-group, single-center, 6-week trials, eligible subjects (18-75 years of age, body mass index 18.5-34.9 kg/m2, GH-naïve, without GHD) were divided into five kidney (total n = 44) or three hepatic (n = 34) function groups. Subjects with normal kidney/hepatic function were matched to those with kidney/hepatic impairment by age, sex, and body weight. Subjects received three subcutaneous somapacitan administrations (0.08 mg/kg) on days 1, 8, and 15. Blood samples were collected before each dose, at 28 time points throughout 2 weeks after the last dose, and at follow-up (3-4 weeks after the last dose). The primary endpoint was area under the somapacitan serum concentration-time curve up to 1 week after the last dose (AUC0-168 h), while secondary endpoints included AUC0-168 h of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I.ResultsIn the kidney impairment trial, somapacitan AUC0-168 h was higher in groups with severe kidney impairment and requiring hemodialysis versus the normal kidney function group (estimated ratio and 90% confidence interval 1.75 [1.00-3.06] and 1.63 [1.01-2.61], respectively). AUC0-168 h of IGF-I was increased in the moderate impairment group (1.35 [1.09-1.66]), severe impairment group (1.40 [1.10-1.78]), and requiring hemodialysis group (1.24 [1.01-1.52]), compared with the normal function group. In the hepatic impairment trial, somapacitan AUC0-168 h was significantly higher in the moderate impairment group compared with the normal hepatic function group (4.69 [2.92-7.52]). IGF-I AUC0-168 h was lower in both hepatic impairment groups (0.85 [0.67-1.08] for the mild impairment group and 0.75 [0.60-0.95] for the moderate impairment group) compared with the normal function group. No new safety or tolerability issues were observed.ConclusionsIn summary, somapacitan exposure increased with level of kidney/hepatic impairment. Clinically, this will be taken into account when treating adults with GHD with somapacitan, as doses should be individually titrated.Clinical trial registrationNCT03186495 (kidney impairment trial, registered 12 June 2017); NCT03212131 (hepatic impairment trial, registered 30 June 2017).

Project description:IntroductionAs patients who receive cannabidiol (CBD) may have co-existing renal morbidities, it is important to understand whether dose adjustments are necessary to mitigate the risk of exposure-related toxicity. This study was conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of CBD in patients with renal impairment.MethodsThe pharmacokinetics and safety of a single oral 200 mg dose of a plant-derived pharmaceutical formulation of highly purified CBD in oral solution (Epidiolex® in the USA; 100 mg/mL) were assessed in subjects with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment (n = 8/group) relative to matched subjects with normal renal function (n = 8). Blood samples were collected until 48 h post-dose and evaluated by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Analysis of variance was used to compare primary pharmacokinetic parameters (maximum measured plasma concentration [Cmax], oral clearance of drug from plasma [CL/F], renal clearance [CLR], area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC] from time zero to last measurable concentration [AUCt], and AUC from time zero to infinity [AUC∞]); descriptive analysis was used for secondary pharmacokinetic parameters (time to Cmax [tmax], terminal [elimination] half-life [t½], cumulative amount excreted from time zero to the last quantifiable sample [Aelast], and fraction of the systemically available drug excreted into the urine [fe]).ResultsNo statistically significant differences were observed in Cmax, AUCt, AUC∞, or tmax values between subjects with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment and subjects with normal renal function for CBD or its major metabolites, 7-carboxy-CBD (7-COOH-CBD) and 7-hydroxy-CBD (7-OH-CBD), and minor metabolite, 6-hydroxy-CBD (6-OH-CBD); geometric mean ratio for Cmax values ranged from 0.68 to 1.35. No differences were observed for other secondary parameters (Aelast and fe). CBD, 7-COOH-CBD, 7-OH-CBD, and 6-OH-CBD were highly protein bound (> 90%); binding was similar in all subject groups. Urine analysis for CBD recorded no appreciable amount, and thus no urinary pharmacokinetic parameters could be derived. Adverse events (AEs) affected two subjects; all five AEs were mild in severity and resolved during the trial. There were no serious AEs or discontinuations due to AEs. Laboratory, physical examination, vital sign, and 12-lead electrocardiogram findings were not clinically significant.ConclusionRenal impairment had no effect on the metabolism of CBD after a single oral 200 mg dose. CBD was generally well tolerated in subjects with varying degrees of renal function.RegistrationEuropean Union Clinical Trials Register (EudraCT) no. 2015-002122-39.
