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. C of alpelisib decreased by approximately 17% in the moderate hepatic impairment group vs. the healthy control group (geometric mean ratio; GMR [90% confidence interval; CI], 0.833 [0.530, 1.31]). C in the severe hepatic impairment group was comparable to that of the healthy control group (GMR [90% CI], 1.00 [0.636, 1.58]). AUC for alpelisib decreased by approximately 27% in the moderate hepatic impairment group vs. the healthy control group (GMR [90% CI], 0.726 [0.487, 1.08]). AUC was 26% higher in the severe hepatic impairment group compared with the healthy control group (GMR [90% CI], 1.26 [0.845, 1.87]). Overall, 3 participants (13.0%) experienced at least 1 adverse event which were either grade 1 or 2. Adverse events did not lead to study drug discontinuation. No grade 3 or 4 adverse events, serious adverse events or deaths were reported. The results indicate that a single dose of alpelisib was well tolerated in this study population. There was no significant impact of moderate or severe hepatic impairment on the exposure of alpelisib.

As people age, the efficiency of various regulatory processes that ensure proper communication between cells and organs tends to decline. This deterioration can lead to difficulties in maintaining homeostasis during physiological stress. This includes but is not limited to cognitive impairments, functional difficulties, and issues related to caregivers which contribute significantly to medication errors and non-adherence.

Hepatic impairment (HI) trials are traditionally part of the clinical pharmacology development to assess the need for dose adaptation in people with impaired metabolic capacity due to their diseased liver. This review aimed at looking into the data from dedicated HI studies, cluster these data into various categories and connect the effect by HI with reported pharmacokinetics (PK) properties in order to identify patterns that may allow waiver, extrapolations, or adapted HI study designs. Based on a ratio ≥ 2 or ≤ 0.

Pregnant women with congenital heart disease carry a high risk of complications, especially when cardiac function is suboptimal. Increasing evidence suggests that impaired right ventricular (RV) function has a negative effect on placental function, possibly through venous congestion. We report a case series of hepatic and renal venous flow patterns in pregnant women with right ventricular dysfunction after repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF), relative to those observed in normal pregnancy and preeclampsia.

Chronic liver disease (CLD) has massive systemic repercussions including major impacts on the body's immune system. Abnormalities in phenotype, function and numbers of various immune cell subsets have been established by a large number of clinical and pre-clinical studies. The loss of essential immune functions renders CLD-patients exceptionally susceptible to bacterial and viral infections and also impairs the efficacy of vaccination.

Glucagon has recently been found to modulate liver fat content, in addition to its role in regulating gluconeogenesis. However, the precise mechanisms by which glucagon signaling synchronizes glucose and lipid metabolism in the liver remain poorly understood. By employing chemical and genetic approaches, we demonstrate that inhibiting the androgen receptor (AR) impairs the ability of glucagon to stimulate gluconeogenesis and lipid catabolism in primary hepatocytes and female mice.
