Article Synopsis
  • Small molecule drugs can attach to proteins in the blood, and how much of the drug is free (not attached) affects how it works and is removed from the body.
  • In studies about liver (HI) and kidney (RI) problems, only some drugs mention how they bind to proteins, and this can change how much the dose should be adjusted.
  • Understanding free drug levels in patients with HI and RI helps doctors make better treatment decisions based on safety and effectiveness.

Adenosine suppresses antitumor immune responses via A and A receptors expressed on intratumoral immune cells. This effect is mediated by increased cyclic adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) levels and phosphorylation of cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB). We conducted a phase 1, placebo-controlled, single-ascending-dose (SAD) and multiple-ascending-dose (MAD) study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), including food effect (FE), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of oral AB928, a novel dual AR/AR antagonist, in healthy volunteers.

This phase I study (CO-338-044; NCT02740712), conducted in patients with advanced solid tumors, evaluated the effect of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor rucaparib on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of caffeine 200 mg, warfarin 10 mg, omeprazole 40 mg, and midazolam 2 mg (cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A substrates; dosed as a cocktail) and digoxin 0.25 mg (P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate; dosed separately) without rucaparib and following oral rucaparib 600 mg b.i.

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.

Background And Objective: Insulin degludec is a basal insulin with a slow and distinct absorption mechanism resulting in an ultra-long, flat, and stable pharmacokinetic profile in patients with diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of hepatic impairment on the single-dose pharmacokinetics of insulin degludec.

Methods: Twenty-four subjects, allocated to one of four groups (n=6 per group) based on level of hepatic impairment (normal hepatic function, Child-Pugh grade A, B, or C), were administered a single subcutaneous dose of 0.
