Effects of Renal Impairment and Hemodialysis on the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of the Glecaprevir and Pibrentasvir Combination in Hepatitis C Virus-Negative Subjects.

ABSTRACT: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an independent risk factor for developing chronic renal impairment and end-stage renal disease. Limited treatment options are available for HCV genotype 2, 3, 5, and 6 infections in patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of <30 ml/min. Glecaprevir and pibrentasvir are active against all six major HCV genotypes, are primarily excreted in the bile, and have minimal renal elimination. Therefore, combined treatment with these direct-acting antivirals may be useful for patients with HCV infection and chronic kidney disease. A phase 1, multicenter, open-label study evaluated the effects of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics and safety of glecaprevir-pibrentasvir. In substudy 1, 38 subjects with stage 2 to 5 chronic kidney disease who were not on dialysis or who had normal renal function received single doses of the combination of 300 mg glecaprevir and 120 mg pibrentasvir. In substudy 2, 8 subjects requiring hemodialysis received single doses of the combination of 300 mg glecaprevir and 120 mg pibrentasvir under dialysis and nondialysis conditions. Regression analyses demonstrated increased glecaprevir and pibrentasvir plasma exposures, as determined by the area under the curve, with decreasing renal function, up to 56% and 46%, respectively, in subjects with an eGFR of <15 ml/min/1.73 m2 In dialysis-dependent subjects, glecaprevir and pibrentasvir exposures were similar (?18% difference) when study drugs were administered before hemodialysis or on a nondialysis day. Adverse events were mostly mild, with the most common being self-limited fatigue (3 subjects). The study findings support the clinical evaluation of glecaprevir-pibrentasvir without dose adjustment in HCV-infected subjects with renal impairment.

Project description:Two open-label, single-dose, parallel-group studies were conducted to characterize the pharmacokinetics of the novel antibacterial tedizolid and the safety of tedizolid phosphate, its prodrug, in renally or hepatically impaired subjects. Tedizolid pharmacokinetics in subjects with severe renal impairment without dialysis support was compared with that of matched control subjects with normal renal function. Effects of hemodialysis on tedizolid pharmacokinetics were determined in a separate cohort of subjects undergoing long-term hemodialysis. Effects of hepatic impairment on tedizolid pharmacokinetics were determined in subjects with moderate or severe hepatic impairment and compared with those of matched control subjects with normal hepatic function. Each participant received a single oral (hepatic impairment) or intravenous (renal impairment) dose of tedizolid phosphate at 200 mg; hemodialysis subjects received two doses (separated by 7 days), before and after dialysis, in a crossover fashion. The pharmacokinetics of tedizolid was similar in subjects with severe renal impairment and controls (∼8% lower area under the concentration-time curve [AUC], with a nearly identical peak concentration) and in subjects undergoing hemodialysis before and after tedizolid phosphate administration (∼9% lower AUC, with a 15% higher peak concentration); <10% of the dose was removed during 4 h of hemodialysis. Tedizolid pharmacokinetics was only minimally altered in subjects with moderate or severe hepatic impairment; the AUC was increased approximately 22% and 34%, respectively, compared with that of subjects in the control group. Tedizolid phosphate was generally well tolerated in all participants. These results suggest that tedizolid phosphate dose adjustments are not necessary in patients with any degree of renal or hepatic impairment.
