The pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of single-dose alpelisib (300 mg) were assessed in participants with moderate to severe hepatic impairment (n = 6 each) compared with their matching healthy controls (n = 11). 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.

Because nirmatrelvir is eliminated by the kidneys when given with ritonavir, this phase I study evaluated the effects of renal impairment on pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir. Participants with normal renal function (n = 10) or mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment (n = 8 each) were administered a single 100-mg nirmatrelvir dose with 100 mg ritonavir given 12 hours before, together with and 12 and 24 hours after the nirmatrelvir dose.
