Recruitment details

This was an open-label study conducted at 2 investigational sites, one in Romania and one in the Republic of Moldova. Subjects were enrolled to the study from 08 February 2016 (first subject enrolled) until 07 July 2016 (last subject completed).

Pre-assignment details

Subjects enrolled into 3 hepatic functional groups: * Healthy control subjects with normal hepatic function * Mild hepatic impairment (HI) subjects (Child-Pugh \[C-P\] class A) * Moderate HI subjects (C-P class B). C-P score was summed from 5 clinical assessments of liver disease; each measure scored 1-3, with 3 indicating most severe derangement.

Population: The PK population (23 subjects overall) corresponded to all subjects who received at least one dose of study medication, without protocol violation affecting PK evaluation and who had a sufficient number of plasma concentrations to estimate the main PK parameters (Cmax, Tmax and AUC\[0-tlast\]).

Assessment of t1/2 for Telotristat Ethyl and LP-778902 (Active Metabolite)

Blood was sampled for the purpose of determining PK parameters for total telotristat ethyl and its active metabolite LP-778902 using a LC-MS/MS bioanalytical method. The method was selective, linear, precise and accurate within the range from 0.5 to 500 ng/mL for telotristat ethyl and from 2 to 2000 ng/mL for LP-778902. The LoQ for telotristat ethyl and its metabolite LP-778902 were 0.5 ng/mL and 2.0 ng/mL, respectively.

Time frame: Blood samples were collected on Day 1 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 h post-dose), Day 2 (24 h), Day 3 (48 h) and Day 4 (72 h).

Population: The PK population corresponded to all subjects who received at least one dose of study medication, without protocol violation affecting PK evaluation and who had a sufficient number of plasma concentrations to estimate the main PK parameters (Cmax, Tmax and AUC\[0-tlast\]). Only subjects with data available for analysis are reported.
