Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Keywords

LJN452, tropifexor, PK, safety, healthy subjects, hepatically impaired, Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis, Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, NAFLD

Brief summary

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment on the systemic exposure of tropifexor and to evaluate the safety of tropifexor in subjects with hepatic impairment. The results of this study will support treatment and dosing decisions for patients with varying degrees of hepatic impairment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Vz/FUp to 8 daysThe apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase
TmaxUp to 8 daysTime to reach the maximum (peak) plasma drug concentration after single dose administration (time)
AUClastUp to 8 daysThe area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration sampling time (mass x time x volume-1)
AUCinfUp to 8 daysThe area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (mass x time x volume-1)
T1/2Up to 8 daysThe elimination half-life associated with the terminal slope of a semi-logarithmic concentration-time curve
CL/FUp to 8 daysThe apparent total body clearance of the drug from plasma (volume x time-1)
CmaxUp to 8 daysThe maximum (peak) observed drug concentration after single dose administration (mass x volume-1)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cmax,uDay 1The maximum (peak) observed plasma drug concentration after single dose administration (Cmax) of unbound drug (mass x time x volume-1), calculated as Cmax\*fu
AUClast,uDay 1The area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the last quantifiable concentration sampling time of unbound drug (mass x time x volume-1), calculated as AUClast\*fu
AUCinf,uDay 1The area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity of unbound drug (mass x time x volume-1), calculated as AUCinf\*fu
CL/F,uDay 1The apparent total body clearance of drug from the plasma of unbound drug (volume x time-1), calculated as CL/F/fu
fuDay 1Fraction of analyte unbound calculated in-vitro
