Pharmacokinetics of serelaxin in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis: A single-dose, open-label, parallel-group study.

ABSTRACT: Serelaxin, a recombinant human relaxin-2 hormone, is in clinical development for treating acute heart failure. This open-label, parallel-group study investigated serelaxin pharmacokinetics (PK) after a single 4-hour intravenous infusion (10?µg/kg) in patients with severe renal impairment (n?=?6) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis (PK on the day of dialysis [n?=?6] or during dialysis-free interval [n?=?6]), compared with matched healthy subjects (n?=?18). In all participants, serum serelaxin concentration peaked at the end of infusion and subsequently declined with mean terminal elimination half-life of 6.5-8.8 hours. Compared with healthy subjects, a moderate decrease in serelaxin systemic clearance (37%-52%) and increase in its exposure (30%-115%) were observed in all patients. During the 4-hour hemodialysis in ESRD patients, 30% serelaxin was removed, with hemodialysis clearance constituting approximately 52% of total systemic clearance. Serelaxin was well tolerated with no deaths, serious adverse events (AE), or AE-related discontinuations. Antiserelaxin antibodies were not detected in any participant. Given the shallow dose-response relationship observed with serelaxin in clinical studies and its wide therapeutic window, the observed PK differences in patients with severe renal impairment compared with healthy subjects are unlikely to pose a safety risk and do not warrant a predefined dosage adjustment in such patients.

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.

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:BackgroundZibotentan (ZD4054) is a specific endothelin A (ETA) receptor antagonist being investigated for the treatment of prostate cancer. As zibotentan is eliminated by renal and metabolic routes, clearance may be reduced in patients with hepatic or renal impairment, leading to greater drug exposure.MethodsOpen-label studies investigated the PK and tolerability of zibotentan in subjects with hepatic or renal impairment, compared with those with normal organ function. In the hepatic and renal studies, respectively, subjects were divided into categories using Child-Pugh classification or 24-hour urine creatinine clearance (mild, moderate, or severe impairment and normal function). Each subject received a single oral dose of zibotentan 10 mg and PK sampling was undertaken. Within the hepatic study, AUC and Cmax were expressed as the ratio of geometric means and 90% CI for each impairment group compared with the normal function group. The possibility that hepatic impairment had a clinically relevant effect on exposure was considered if the upper 90% CI for the ratio exceeded 2. In the renal study, AUC, Cmax and t1/2 were analyzed using linear regression fitting effects for creatinine clearance and age.ResultsIn the hepatic and renal studies respectively, 32 subjects (eight per group) and 48 subjects received treatment (n = 18 normal, n = 12 mild, n = 9 moderate, n = 9 severe). Zibotentan Cmax was not significantly affected by hepatic or renal impairment. Compared with the normal function group, zibotentan AUC was 40% (1.40; 90% CI 0.91-2.17), 45% (1.45; 90% CI 0.94-2.24) and 190% (2.90; 90% CI 1.88-4.49) higher in subjects with mild, moderate and severe hepatic impairment, respectively, and 66% (1.66; 90% CI 1.38-1.99), 89% (1.89; 90% CI 1.50-2.39) and 117% (2.17; 90% CI 1.64-2.86) higher in subjects with mild, moderate and severe renal impairment, respectively. In both studies mean t1/2 increased and zibotentan clearance decreased with the degree of impairment. Headache was the most common AE in all groups.ConclusionsZibotentan absorption was unchanged, however, exposure was higher in subjects with hepatic or renal impairment due to slower clearance. This increased exposure did not result in differences in the range or severity of AEs observed.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00672581 and AstraZeneca study number D4320C00016 (renal trial; conducted in Germany).
