Study summary

Phase 1 - Pharmacokinetics in Patients with Impaired Renal Function

Read the detailed description

The study is a two-center, Phase 1, open-label, single-dose, one-period, four-parallel-group, PK study in subjects with various severities of renal dysfunction and healthy volunteers.

Subjects will be categorized in 4 groups:

Group 1: subjects with mild renal impairment Group 2: subjects with moderate renal impairment Group 3: subjects with severe renal impairment Group 4 (control group): subjects with normal renal function

The mild (group 1) and moderate (group 2) patients with renal disease will be dosed first, in a parallel fashion. At this point, interim PK analyses will be performed and a safety committee composed of Sponsor and Contract Research Organization (CRO) members will jointly review the PK data before dosing the patients with severe renal disease (group 3). Control subjects (group 4) will be recruited after the recruitment of groups 1 to 3.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Male or female, non-smoker and/or light smoker
  2. Have a diagnosis of renal impairment that has been stable, without any significant change in overall disease status in the last 3 months prior to screening.
  3. Have an estimated (eGFR) expressed in mL/min/1.73 m2 (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease 4-variable [MDRD4] equation) at screening within the range of:

    1. Group 1 - Mild Group: 60 - 89 mL/min/1.73 m2;
    2. Group 2 - Moderate Group: 30 - 59 mL/min/1.73 m2;
    3. Group 3 - Severe Group: \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 not requiring dialysis. eGFR results that are deemed inconsistent with the usual stage of renal impairment may be repeated. Subjects are categorized into severity group at screening. If the eGFR scores change on Day-1 or other visit due to a non- change in clinical status or laboratory result, the subject keeps the original severity group.
  4. Subject may have stable treated medical illnesses and underlying diseases producing the renal impairment such as diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease, providing that, in the opinion of the PI, the disease is stable.
  5. Have normal or non-clinically significant findings at physical examination, vital signs and (ECG) and normal limits or non-clinically significant deviations in clinical laboratory evaluations at screening.
  6. Other than renal impairment, have no other conditions which may significantly impact study drug absorption or metabolism.
  7. Stable medical regimen, deemed not to interact with study drug PK, for 14 days prior to dosing, except for routine daily management of electrolytes (e.g. potassium), acid-base, or other associated disorders expected in patients with renal impairment.
  8. Females of who are sexually active with a non-sterile male partner (sterile male partners are defined as men vasectomized since at least 6 months) must be willing to use acceptable method throughout the study and for 30 days after study drug administration.
  9. Male subjects who are not vasectomized for at least 6 months, and who are sexually active with a non-sterile female partner (sterile female partners include females and surgically sterile females) must be willing to use acceptable contraceptive method from dosing until at least 90 days after study drug administration.
  10. Male subjects (including men who have had vasectomy) with a pregnant partner must agree to use a condom from dosing until at least 90 days after study drug administration.
  11. Male subjects must be willing not to donate sperm until 90 days following study drug administration.
  12. Able to understand and willing to sign the Form (ICF) and comply with the study restrictions.

  2. Has a functioning renal transplant.
  3. Major illness or surgery within 4 weeks prior to dosing.
  4. unstable medical condition or history of any illness that may increase the risk associated with study participation or drug administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(12)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2019 to primary completion in Jul 2019, 6 months.

Results were first posted in Apr 2021, 1 year 8 months after primary completion.

Of 212 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Renal Insufficiency, half reached primary completion within 8 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 15. This study's 6 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 230 studies reached it within 8 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 16.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 13, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
