Pharmacokinetics of RLX030 in Subjects With Mild, Moderate and Severe Hepatic Impairment Compared to Healthy Subjects

This study will assess the pharmacokinetics of RLX030 during and after administration in subjects with mild to severe hepatic impairment and matched healthy control subjects.

20 to 24 patients and 20 to 24 healthy subjects will be enrolled.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • All subjects:
  • Female subjects must be of non-child bearing potential OR use an effective method of contraception and sexually active males must use a condom during intercourse while taking the drug and for 5 half-lives after stopping treatment
  • Subjects with hepatic impairment:
  • Subjects must have either mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment

Exclusion criteria

  • All subjects
  • Hepatic impairment due to non-liver disease
  • Use of other investigational drugs at time of enrollment
  • History of malignancy of any organ system
  • Donation or loss of 400 mL or more of blood or plasma within 8 weeks prior to initial dosing
  • Hemoglobin levels below 10.0 g/dL at screening or baseline
  • Subjects with hepatic impairment:
  • Presence of any non-controlled and clinically significant disease that could affect the study outcome or that would place the patient at undue risk
  • Treatment with any cytostatic drug, vasodilator, autonomic alpha blocker or B2 agonist
  • Any surgical or medical condition other than hepatic impairment which might significantly alter the distribution or excretion of drugs

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.

Treatment and study plan

RLX030A

Drug

RLX030 is administered as a continuous 24 hour infusion

Primary outcomes

  1. Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUCinf)

    Time frame: Up to Day 15

    Blood samples will be collected during screening, days 1 through 4 and then on Day 15 for the determination of serum concentrations of RLX030

  2. Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast)

    Time frame: Up to Day 15

    Blood samples will be collected during screening, days 1 through 4 and then on Day 15 for the determination of serum concentrations of RLX030

  3. Serum concentration at 24 hour (C24h) after administration

    Time frame: Upto Day 15

    Blood samples will be collected during screening, days 1 through 4 and then on Day 15 for the determination of serum concentrations of RLX030

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of patients with adverse events, serious adverse events and death

    Time frame: Day 15

    Monitoring of adverse events, serious adverse events and death from screening to end of study

  2. Determination of the presence and quantification of anti-RLX030 antibodies

    Time frame: Day 1 (prior to administration) and Day 15 end of study

    Blood will be collected and serum analyzed for the presence of antiRLX030 antibodies. Anti-RLX030 antibodies will be evaluated in serum in a validated four-tiered assay approach

  3. Mean residence time [MRT] of RLX030

    Time frame: screening, days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 15

    Blood samples will be collected during screening, days 1 through 4 and then on Day 15 for the determination of serum concentrations of RLX030

  4. Terminal elimination half life (T ½) of RLX030

    Time frame: screening, days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 15

    Blood samples will be collected during screening, days 1 through 4 and then on Day 15 for the determination of serum concentrations of RLX030

  5. Systemic clearance of RLX030 from serum (CL)

    Time frame: screening, days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 15

    Blood samples will be collected during screening, days 1 through 4 and then on Day 15 for the determination of serum concentrations of RLX030

  6. Volume of distribution at steady state (Vss)

    Time frame: screening, days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 15

    Blood samples will be collected during screening, days 1 through 4 and then on Day 15 for the determination of serum concentrations of RLX030
