Zibotentan Can Be Co-administered with Contraceptives Containing Ethinyl Estradiol and Levonorgestrel: A Pharmacokinetic Drug-Drug Interaction Study.

The endothelin A receptor antagonist zibotentan, combined with the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor dapagliflozin, is being investigated for the treatment of chronic kidney disease with high proteinuria. To allow women of childbearing potential access to this treatment, highly effective contraception is required and drug interactions compromising contraception reliability must be avoided. This study investigated the risk of pharmacokinetic (PK) interaction between zibotentan and the contraceptives ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel.

A comprehensive analysis of liver safety across zibotentan oncology trials: knowledge of the past offers new perspectives on the present.

Background: Endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) are associated with liver injury. We used data from previous oncology clinical trials to determine the liver safety profile of zibotentan, which is currently in clinical development (in combination with dapagliflozin) for chronic kidney disease and cirrhosis.

Research Design And Methods: Six global, double-blinded, phase 2b and 3 clinical trials from the zibotentan oncology development program were pooled to analyze liver safety.

Pharmacokinetics and Tolerability of Zibotentan in Patients with Concurrent Moderate Renal and Moderate Hepatic Impairment.

Background And Objective: Zibotentan, a selective endothelin A receptor antagonist, is in development for chronic liver and kidney disease. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of zibotentan were previously investigated in patients with either renal impairment or hepatic impairment, but the impact of both pathologies on PK was not evaluated. This study evaluated the PK and tolerability of a single oral dose of zibotentan in participants with concurrent moderate renal impairment and moderate hepatic impairment versus control participants.
