Project description:Semaglutide is a human glucagon-like peptide-1 analog that has been co-formulated with the absorption enhancer, sodium N-(8-[2-hydroxybenzoyl] amino) caprylate, for oral administration. This trial (NCT02016911) investigated whether hepatic impairment affects the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of oral semaglutide. Subjects were classified into groups: normal hepatic function (n = 24), and mild (n = 12), moderate (n = 12), or severe (n = 8) hepatic impairment according to Child-Pugh criteria, and received once-daily oral semaglutide (5 mg for 5 days followed by 10 mg for 5 days). Semaglutide plasma concentrations were measured during dosing and for up to 21 days post-last dose. Area under the semaglutide plasma concentration-time curve from 0-24 hours after the 10th dose (primary end point) and maximum semaglutide concentration after the 10th dose appeared similar across hepatic function groups. Similarly, there was no apparent effect of hepatic impairment on time to maximum semaglutide concentration (median range 1.0-1.5 hours) or half-life (geometric mean range 142-156 hours). No safety concerns were identified in subjects with hepatic impairment receiving semaglutide. Reported adverse events were in line with those observed for other glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. There was no apparent effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of oral semaglutide. The results of this trial suggest that dose adjustment of oral semaglutide is not warranted in subjects with hepatic impairment.

Project description:AIMS:To investigate whether the pharmacokinetic characteristics of semaglutide were altered in people with hepatic impairment, assessed using Child-Pugh criteria, vs those with normal hepatic function. METHODS:In this multicentre, open-label, parallel-group trial (sponsor Novo Nordisk, ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT02210871), four groups of participants with normal hepatic function (n?=?19) or mild (n?=?8), moderate (n?=?10) or severe (n?=?7) hepatic impairment received a single, subcutaneous dose of 0.5 mg semaglutide. Semaglutide plasma concentrations were assessed frequently for 35?days after dosing. The primary endpoint was area under the semaglutide plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0-? ). No effect of hepatic impairment was declared if the 90% confidence interval (CI) for the between-group ratio (hepatic impairment/normal function) was within the interval 0.70 to 1.43. RESULTS:Semaglutide exposure was similar across all groups, with AUC0-? treatment ratios for mild impairment/normal function of 0.95 (90% CI 0.77, 1.16), moderate impairment/normal function 1.02 (90% CI 0.93, 1.12), and severe impairment/normal function 0.97 (90% CI 0.84, 1.12). The maximum plasma semaglutide concentration (Cmax ) did not appear to be influenced by hepatic function, with mild impairment/normal function treatment ratios of 0.99 (90% CI 0.80, 1.23), moderate impairment/normal function 1.02 (90% CI 0.88, 1.18) and severe impairment/normal function 1.15 (90% CI 0.89, 1.48; sensitivity analysis excluding one extreme semaglutide concentration: 1.05 [90% CI 0.88, 1.25]). In all, 10 participants reported 12 mild or moderate non-serious adverse events. No unexpected safety or tolerability issues were observed. CONCLUSIONS:Semaglutide exposure did not appear to be affected by hepatic impairment, suggesting that dose adjustment may not be necessary in patients with hepatic impairment. Semaglutide was well tolerated and there were no unexpected safety issues.

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:Aim/methodsThis 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).ResultsFor 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 τ (AUC(0,τ), 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.ConclusionsThe 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:BMS-986263 is a retinoid-conjugated lipid nanoparticle delivering small interfering RNA designed to inhibit synthesis of HSP47 protein, a collagen-specific chaperone protein involved in fibrosis development. This is a phase I, open-label, two-part study evaluating pharmacokinetics and safety of BMS-986263 in participants with hepatic impairment (HI). Part 1 (n = 24) of this study enrolled two cohorts with mild and moderate HI and a separate cohort of age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched participants with normal hepatic function. Part 2 enrolled eight participants with severe HI and eight age- and BMI-matched participants with normal hepatic function. All participants received a single intravenous 90 mg BMS-986263 infusion. Compared with normal-matched participants, geometric mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC(0-T) ) and AUC from zero to infinity (AUC(INF) ) of HSP47 siRNA were similar in participants with mild HI and 34% and 163% greater in those with moderate and severe HI, respectively, whereas the maximum plasma concentration was ~25% lower in mild and moderate HI groups but 58% higher in the severe HI group than in the normal group. Adverse events were reported by two of eight, four of eight, and three of eight participants with mild, moderate, or severe HI, respectively; none were reported in the normal-matched group. Overall, single-dose BMS-986263 was generally safe and well-tolerated and dose adjustment is not considered necessary for participants with mild or moderate HI. Although available data do not indicate that dose adjustment should be performed in patients with severe HI; the optimal posology of BMS-986263 in patients with severe HI may be determined later in its clinical development when additional data to establish exposure-safety/efficacy relationship becomes available.

Project description:Faldaprevir is a potent hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease inhibitor with negligible urinary excretion. We assessed the pharmacokinetics and safety of a single oral dose of faldaprevir (480 mg) in 32 HCV-negative subjects with renal impairment or normal renal function. Compared with subjects with normal renal function, the adjusted geometric mean ratios (90% confidence intervals in parentheses) for overall exposure area under the concentration-time curve from zero to infinity (AUC0-∞) were 113.6% (41.6 to 310.2%), 178.3% (85.2 to 373.0%), and 169.2% (73.2 to 391.2%) for subjects with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment, respectively. Overall, 5/8 (63%) subjects with normal renal function and 20/24 (83%) subjects with renal impairment reported adverse events, with gastrointestinal events being the most common. No severe or serious adverse events or deaths were reported. These results suggest that moderate or severe renal impairment can result in a modest increase in faldaprevir exposure. The increase in exposure may be related to decrease in the activity of the liver uptake transporter OATP1B1 as a result of renal impairment. Given this relatively slight increase in exposure, a dose adjustment in HCV patients with renal impairment is not warranted. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under registration number NCT01957657.).

Project description:The effect of moderate hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of the dual endothelin receptor antagonist aprocitentan was clinically investigated as 25% of aprocitentan is cleared through the liver. Aprocitentan is in clinical development for the treatment of resistant hypertension. This was an open-label, Phase 1 study. Subjects were recruited in two groups (i.e., moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B; n = 8) and matched healthy subjects (n = 9) and received a single oral dose of 25 mg aprocitentan. Thereafter, they were observed for 14 days. Due to personal reasons one healthy subject discontinued the study. The PK of aprocitentan were similar between subjects with moderate hepatic impairment and healthy subjects, with maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) reached at 4.0 h. There was no difference in Cmax, indicated by the geometric means ratio (90% confidence interval) of 1.03 (0.86-1.24). There was a lower apparent clearance, a similar apparent volume of distribution, a longer terminal half-life (56.4 h vs 48.3 h in healthy subjects), and an increase in area under the curve from zero to infinity of 23% in moderate hepatically impaired subjects compared to healthy subjects. There were no differences observed in plasma protein binding (range 98.7-99.0%). Aprocitentan was well tolerated, and headache was the only adverse event reported by one subject. In conclusion, there were no clinically relevant differences in PK between subjects with moderate hepatic impairment and healthy subjects. Based on these results, aprocitentan can be administered in subjects with mild and moderate hepatic impairment and dose adjustment is not required.Clinical Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04252495.

Project description:AimsTrifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) prolongs survival in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer, but limited data exist on its use in patients with hepatic impairment. This Phase I, open-label, nonrandomized study investigated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of FTD/TPI in patients with advanced solid tumours (except breast cancer) and varying degrees of hepatic impairment, to provide dosing recommendations.MethodsPatients aged ≥18 years with advanced solid tumours and normal hepatic function, or mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment according to National Cancer Institute criteria, were planned to be enrolled. Patients received FTD/TPI 35 mg/m2 orally twice daily on days 1-5 and 8-12 of each 28-day cycle.ResultsTwenty-four patients were enrolled to the normal hepatic function (n = 8) and mild (n = 10) and moderate (n = 6) hepatic impairment cohorts. Overall, 12 patients (50.0%) had at least 1 adverse event leading to study discontinuation. In the moderate hepatic impairment cohort, 5 of 6 patients experienced grade ≥ 3 elevation in bilirubin. No patients with severe hepatic impairment were enrolled. FTD area under the curve at steady state decreased by 18% and 22% in the mild and moderate cohorts, respectively; however, no clear change was observed in TPI area under the curve.ConclusionsFTD/TPI can be safely administered in patients with normal hepatic function and mild hepatic impairment, with no initial dose adjustment. FTD/TPI is not recommended for use in patients with moderate hepatic impairment because of findings of grade 3 or 4 increased blood bilirubin. Therefore, FTD/TPI is not recommended for patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment.

Project description:BackgroundSemaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue, has been co-formulated with the absorption enhancer sodium N-(8-[2-hydroxybenzoyl] amino) caprylate (SNAC) as a tablet for oral administration. This trial (NCT02014259) investigated the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of oral semaglutide in subjects with and without renal impairment.MethodsSubjects were categorised as having normal renal function (n = 24), mild (n = 12), moderate (n = 12) or severe (n = 12) renal impairment, or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring haemodialysis (n = 11) and received once-daily oral semaglutide (5 mg for 5 days followed by 10 mg for 5 days) in the fasting state, followed by 30 min fasting after dosing. Semaglutide plasma concentrations were measured during dosing and for up to 21 days after the last dose.ResultsSemaglutide exposure (area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 24 h after the tenth dose and maximum concentration after the tenth dose) did not vary in a consistent pattern across the renal function groups. Similarly, there was no apparent effect of renal impairment on the semaglutide half-life (geometric mean range 152-165 h). Except for one subject in the ESRD group, semaglutide was not detected in urine. Haemodialysis did not affect the pharmacokinetics of semaglutide. Adverse events were in line with those observed for other GLP-1 receptor agonists and no safety concerns were identified.ConclusionThere was no apparent effect of renal impairment or haemodialysis on the pharmacokinetics of oral semaglutide. Based on this trial, renal impairment should not affect dose recommendations for oral semaglutide.

Project description:Solithromycin, a new macrolide and the first fluoroketolide, is in late-stage clinical development and, like older macrolides, is primarily metabolized and excreted through liver-dependent mechanisms. This study evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetics of solithromycin in patients with chronic liver disease. This open-label, multiple-dose study in subjects with hepatic impairment and in healthy control subjects (matched for age, weight, and sex) enrolled 8 Child-Pugh class A (mild), 8 class B (moderate), and 8 class C (severe) patients and 9 healthy controls. Subjects (n = 33) received one 800-mg dose on day 1 followed by once-daily doses of 400 mg on days 2 through 5. The most commonly reported adverse events were mild diarrhea and mild headache, and no significant differences were noted between hepatically impaired subjects and healthy controls. The pharmacokinetics of plasma solithromycin in subjects with mild and moderate impairment was similar to that in control subjects. In subjects with severe impairment, total exposure to solithromycin at steady state (area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC0-tau]) was decreased compared to that in control subjects, which may have been related to the higher body mass index of individuals in this group. No greater accumulation was noted in any hepatically impaired cohort on day 5 compared to that in control subjects. No decrease in dosage is therefore needed when administering solithromycin to patients with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment. Solithromycin was well tolerated in this patient population, and no significant differences in safety, compared to healthy controls, were noted.
