Aim: Brensocatib is an oral, selective, competitive and reversible dipeptidyl peptidase 1 inhibitor in development for the treatment of bronchiectasis. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PKs), safety and tolerability of brensocatib in participants with varying degrees of renal impairment and normal renal function.
Methods: In this phase 1, multicentre, open-label study, 28 participants with mild, moderate or severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 60 to <90, 30 to <60 and 15 to <30 mL/min/1.
Background And Objectives: Trofinetide, the first approved treatment for Rett syndrome (RTT), is primarily excreted unchanged in the urine; therefore, it is important to assess the extent to which the exposure is affected in patients with renal impairment. Pharmacokinetic modeling overcomes the challenge of dose finding in phase 1 studies that include special populations where there is the potential for increased exposure to study drug. The objectives of this phase 1 study were to evaluate trofinetide pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability in a population with moderate renal impairment and normal renal function.

This study aimed to assess how end-stage renal disease (ESRD) might affect the pharmacokinetics of venetoclax, a Bcl-2 inhibitor, in participants with ESRD undergoing haemodialysis.
Methods: Venetoclax was administered as a single 100-mg dose to 6 female participants with ESRD (estimated glomerular filtration rate <15 mL/min) both prior to haemodialysis and between haemodialysis days and 7 healthy female participants with normal renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate >90 mL/min).
Futibatinib is a covalently binding FGFR1-4 inhibitor that received US Food and Drug Administration approval for the treatment of patients with previously treated, advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma harboring FGFR2 gene fusions/rearrangements. This phase I trial evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PKs), safety, and tolerability of futibatinib in subjects with impaired hepatic function and matched healthy volunteers. Twenty-two subjects with hepatic impairment (8 mild [Child-Pugh 5-6], 8 moderate [7-9], and 6 severe [10-15]) and 16 matched healthy control subjects received a single oral dose of futibatinib 20 mg.

Blood samples were collected upto 144 hours post-dose and evaluated by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay. The primary PK parameters (maximum plasma concentration [C], area under the curve [AUC] and AUC) and secondary PK parameters (AUC, apparent total body clearance [CL/F], apparent volume of distribution [Vz/F], time of maximum observed concentration [T], and half-life [T]) of oral alpelisib 300 mg were determined from individual plasma concentration-time profiles using non‑compartmental analysis.

Taniborbactam, an investigational β-lactamase inhibitor that is active against both serine- and metallo-β-lactamases, is being developed in combination with cefepime to treat serious infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Anticipating the use of cefepime-taniborbactam in patients with impaired renal function, an open-label, single-dose clinical study was performed to examine the pharmacokinetics of both drugs in subjects with various degrees of renal function. Hemodialysis-dependent subjects were also studied to examine the amounts of cefepime and taniborbactam dialyzed.

Methods: Adult subjects (aged 18-70 years) with mild (Child-Pugh Class A; Part 1) or moderate (Child-Pugh Class B; Part 2) hepatic impairment were matched with subjects with normal hepatic function on sex, age, body mass index and smoking status. Each subject received a single oral dose of 5 mg of risdiplam.
Pexidartinib is a novel oral small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor. Pexidartinib undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism via multiple cytochrome P450 and uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyl transferase enzymes, with ZAAD-1006a as the only major metabolite in human plasma. As pexidartinib is extensively metabolized, hepatic impairment (HI) could lead to increased exposure to pexidartinib.
