Study summary

The study investigates the pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, elimination) of molidustat after intake of a single 75 mg tablet in subjects with renal impairment requiring hemo- or peritoneal dialysis compared to age-and gender-matched healthy subjects. In addition, the effect of molidustat on the hormone erythropoietin will be evaluated as well as the safety and tolerability of molidustat.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Pharmacokinetics characterized by Cmax of Molidustat

    Cmax: maximum drug concentration in plasma after single dose administration

    Time frame: Up to 96 hours post dose

  2. Pharmacokinetics characterized by AUC of Molidustat

    AUC: area under the plasma concentration vs time curve from zero to infinity

    Time frame: Up to 96 hours post dose

  3. Pharmacokinetics characterized by Cmax,norm of Molidustat

    Cmax,norm;maximum drug concentration in plasma after single dose administration divided by dose (milligrams) per kilogram body weight

    Time frame: Up to 96 hours post dose

  4. Pharmacokinetics characterized by (AUCnorm) of Molidustat

    AUCnorm; area under the plasma concentration vs time curve divided by dose per kg body weight

    Time frame: Up to 96 hours post dose

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pharmacokinetics characterized by Cmax of erythropoietin

    Cmax: maximum drug concentration in plasma after single dose administration

    Time frame: Up to 48 hours post dose

  2. Pharmacokinetics characterized by AUC (0-tlast) of erythropoietin

    AUC(0-tlast): AUC from time 0 to the last data point above lower limit of quantification

    Time frame: Up to 48 hours post dose

  3. Pharmacokinetics characterized by tmax of erythropoietin

    tmax: time to reach maximum drug concentration in plasma after single (first) dose

    Time frame: Up to 48 hours post dose

  4. Number of subjects with Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    Time frame: Up to 7 days post dose
