Brief summary

This is a multi-center, open-label clinical study to assess the single-dose PK of eravacycline in subjects with hepatic impairment and healthy subjects conducted at approximately 3 sites in the United States. This study includes an up to 21-day Screening Period, a 5-day Treatment Period, and an End of Study Visit occurring approximately 2 weeks (± 2 days) after initiation of study drug administration. Approximately 24 subjects will be enrolled: 18 subjects with impaired hepatic function (6 subjects who meet the criteria for each of the 3 Child-Pugh categories of mild \[5 - 6 points\], moderate \[7 - 9 points\], and severe \[10 - 15 points\]) and 6 healthy subjects without hepatic impairment. Healthy subjects will be matched to hepatically impaired subjects in gender, age, and body mass index (BMI). All subjects will be administered a single IV dose of eravacycline (1.5 mg/kg).

Interventions

Eravacycline (TP-434) is a parenteral and oral antibiotic of the tetracycline class that is highly active in vitro and in established animal infection models against both nosocomial and community-acquired methicillin-susceptible or -resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains, vancomycin-susceptible or -resistant Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis, and penicillin-susceptible or -resistant strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae. In addition, eravacycline is highly active against clinically important species of Enterobacteriaceae (including those isolates that produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases and/or are carbapenem-resistant), Acinetobacter baumannii, and anaerobes.

Inclusion criteria

1. Male or female subject aged ≥18 years at Screening; 2. Eligible female subjects of childbearing potential with a non-sterilized male sexual partner must agree to use 2 medically accepted, effective methods of birth control (eg, hormonal contraceptive, barrier contraceptive with additional spermicide, or an intrauterine device) beginning \>30 days prior to study drug administration and continuing until 7 days after the end of the study. Female subjects who are postmenopausal must have been postmenopausal for \>1 year if they wish not to use contraceptives. If postmenopausal status is questionable, the subject's follicle-stimulating hormone level must be checked and must be elevated and consistent with postmenopausal levels (ie, \>40 IU/L); otherwise these subjects must agree to use contraceptives listed above; 3. Male subjects with sexual partners of childbearing potential must agree to use a barrier contraceptive from the time of study drug administration through 7 days after the end of the study; 4. Female subjects of childbearing potential (including females with questionable postmenopausal status) must have a negative pregnancy test prior to dosing (Screening and Day -1); 5. Has a body mass index of 17 kg/m2 to 40 kg/m2, inclusive; 6. Has negative alcohol and illicit drug screens; 7. Has a negative screen for Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); 8. Is able to understand and comply with study procedures and give written informed consent according to institutional and regulatory guidelines; Subjects with hepatic impairment: 9. Has a positive diagnosis of liver cirrhosis that has been stable for 2 months and is confirmed by imaging techniques, biopsy, or physical signs consistent with a clinical diagnosis of liver cirrhosis (eg, liver firmness to palpation, splenic enlargement, spider angiomata, palmar erythema, parotid hypertrophy, testicular atrophy, gynecomastia); 10. Subjects with hepatic impairment must be categorized in 1 of the following: * Mild hepatic impairment: has impaired but stable hepatic function as evidenced by Child-Pugh Clinical Assessment Score of 5-6 at both Screening and Day -1; * Moderate hepatic impairment: has impaired but stable hepatic function as evidenced by Child-Pugh Clinical Assessment Score of 7-9 at both Screening and Day -1; or * Severe hepatic impairment: has impaired but stable hepatic function as evidenced by Child-Pugh Clinical Assessment Score of 10-15 at both Screening and Day -1; Healthy subjects without hepatic impairment: 11. Must be in good health as determined by screening medical history, physical examination, vital signs, blood chemistry, hematology, glucose, and coagulation performance at Screening; 12. Has a negative screen for hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV); and 13. Should be matched to a subject with hepatic impairment in gender, age, and BMI.

Exclusion criteria

1. Female subjects who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the course of the study; 2. Has a history or current evidence of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neurological, or psychiatric disease that may pose a significant safety risk or diminish a subject's ability to undergo all study procedures and assessments; 3. Evidence of renal impairment with a creatinine clearance of \<50 mL/min/1.73m2 as measured by the Cockcroft Gault formula; 4. Use of another investigational drug or device within 30 days prior to receiving eravacycline (TP-434), or within at least 5 half-lives of the previous investigational drug, whichever is longer; 5. Has a history of alcoholism or drug abuse within 2 years prior to dosing; 6. Has a typical weekly alcohol consumption of 14 alcoholic drinks. One drink is defined as 1 glass of beer (approximately 10 oz to 12 oz) or 1 can (12 oz) of beer, 1 glass of wine (approximately 4 oz to 5 oz), or 1 glass of distilled spirits (hard liquor) containing 1 oz of the liquor (1 oz of liquid is approximately 30 mL); 7. Use of alcohol within 48 hours prior to dosing; 8. Has had a major surgical procedure within 3 months prior to administration of study drug; 9.

Donated \>500 mL of blood within 2 months prior to Screening; 12. Has a change in dose or frequency of any new or chronic dose-adjusted prescription or non-prescription medication, including vitamins or herbal medications, within 7 days or 5 half-lives (if known), whichever is longer, within 2 weeks prior to dosing; 13. Is a member of the clinical site personnel directly affiliated with this study; 14.
