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.

In this study, we assessed the pharmacokinetics (PK) of intravenous (IV) difelikefalin in healthy subjects, in non-dialysis-dependent (NDD) subjects with varying stages of kidney disease, and in subjects with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing HD.
Methods: The PK and safety of single IV doses of difelikefalin (3.
Bepirovirsen is a developmental antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) for treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus infection. No pharmacokinetic (PK) studies comparing participants with hepatic impairment (HI) and healthy participants (HPs) have been conducted with ASOs. Given the target patient population, characterization of bepirovirsen PK in HI was imperative.
