Study summary

Primary Objective:

  • To determine the effect of severe renal impairment on the pharmacokinetic profile of teriflunomide administered as a single 14 mg dose as compared to healthy subjects

Secondary Objective:

  • To assess the tolerability of teriflunomide administered as a single 14 mg dose in subjects with severe renal impairment compared to subjects with normal renal function.

  • Screening: up to 3 weeks
  • Hospitalization: 3 days (admission 1 day prior to study drug intake)
  • Follow-up: 10 -12 weeks

Inclusion criteria

Subjects with renal impairment:

  • Male subject between 18 and 75 years of age inclusive and postmenopausal female between 45 and 75 years of age inclusive.
  • Chronic severe renal impairment as defined by Cockroft-Gault formula (creatinine clearance (CLcr) \< 30mL/min, but not requiring hemodialysis).
  • Laboratory parameters within the acceptable range for subjects with renal impairment; in particular, hepatic enzymes (ALT, AST) and bilirubin should be \< 2 x upper limit of normal range and neutrophils should be within normal ranges.

Matched healthy subjects:

  • Male subject between 18 and 75 years of age inclusive and postmenopausal female between 45 and 75 years of age inclusive, matched by age.
  • Body weight within 15% of the body weight of the subjects with renal impairment to be matched and Body Mass Index between 18.0 and 30.0 mg/kg2 inclusive.
  • Certified as healthy by a comprehensive clinical assessment (detailed medical history and complete physical examination).
  • Normal renal function as defined by Cockroft-Gault formula (creatinine clearance (CLcr) > 80mL/min)
  • Laboratory parameters within the normal range, unless the Investigator considers an abnormality to be clinically irrelevant for healthy subjects; however serum creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, hepatic enzymes (AST, ALT), bilirubin (unless the subject has documented Gilbert syndrome) should not exceed the upper limit of normal range.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria:

Subjects with renal impairment:

  • Uncontrolled clinically relevant cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastro-intestinal, metabolic, hematological, neurological, psychiatric, systemic, ocular, gynecologic (if female) or infectious disease, or signs of acute illness.
  • Active hepatitis, hepatic insufficiency.
  • Acute renal failure (de novo or superimposed to pre-existing chronic renal impairment), nephrotic syndrome.
  • Subject requiring dialysis during the study.
  • Any significant change in chronic treatment medication within 14-days before inclusion.
  • Any drug, which could impact by any mechanism of action, the pharmacokinetic of the investigational product.
  • Positive reaction to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) tests: anti-HIV1 antibodies, anti-HIV2 antibodies
  • Positive results on urine drug screen (amphetamines / methamphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, opiates) unless this result is secondary to a documented medical prescription.
  • Positive alcohol test.
  • Man who disagrees to use a double barrier method of contraception with their partner during the study.

Matched healthy subjects:

  • Any history or presence of clinically relevant cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, metabolic, hematological, neurological, psychiatric, systemic, ocular, gynecologic (if female), or infectious disease, or signs of acute illness.
  • For subjects 50 years old and below:

    • any medication (including St John's Wort) within 14 days before inclusion, or within 5 times the elimination half-life or pharmacodynamic halflife of that drug, whichever the longest, with the exception of menopausal hormone replacement therapy.
    • any significant change in chronic treatment medication within 14-days before inclusion.
  • Any drug, which could impact by any mechanism of action, the pharmacokinetic of the investigational product.
  • Positive reaction to any of the following tests: hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen, antihepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) antibodies, HIV1 antibodies, anti-HIV2 antibodies.
  • Positive results on urine drug screen (amphetamines / methamphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, opiates).
  • Positive alcohol test.
  • Man who disagrees to use a double barrier method of contraception with their partner during the study
