A Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety of Canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) in Volunteers With Varying Degrees of Kidney Function

This study will be an open label (all volunteers and study staff know the identity of the assigned treatment), single-dose, multicenter (the study will be conducted at more than one center), parallel-group study (each group of volunteers will be treated at the same time) to assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of canagliflozin (a drug currently being investigated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus) in volunteers with varying degrees of kidney function. The study will consist of 3 phases: a screening phase, an open-label treatment phase, and an end-of study (or follow-up) phase. Volunteers will be assigned to 1 of 5 groups (depending on kidney function): group 1 will have normal kidney function; group 2 will have mild kidney impairment; group 3 will have moderate kidney impairment; group 4 will have severe kidney impairment; and group 5 will comprise volunteers requiring hemodialysis. Volunteers in groups 1 through 4 will receive a single dose of canagliflozin on Day 1. Volunteers in group 5 will receive a single dose of canagliflozin following dialysis and then, approximately 10 days later, they will receive a second dose before dialysis. Volunteers in groups 1 through 4 will participate in the study for 27 days. Volunteers in group 5 will participate in the study for 40 days.
