Brief summary

Study of pharmacokinetics and safety of apraglutide in participants with normal and impaired kidney function.

Detailed description

A two stage design, open label, multi-center, non-randomized trial to evaluate the PK and safety of a single subcutaneous dose of 5 mg apraglutide in subjects with varying degrees of renal function. The renal function was calculated by the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) according to the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) Creatinine Equation. Part 1: 8 subjects with severe renal impairment (Cohort 1) and 8 subjects with normal renal function (Cohort 2). Part 2: 8 subjects with moderate (Cohort 3) and 8 subjects with mild (Cohort 4). Enrollment into Part 2 was conditional on the results of Part 1.

Interventions

Recruitment details

This study was performed in the United States of America between 08 December 2020 and 05 July 2021.

Pre-assignment details

16 participants were included in Part 1 of the study and received 5 mg subcutaneous (SC) apraglutide on Day 1. Of the 16 participants who were included in Part 1, eight had normal renal function and eight had severely impaired renal function. Enrollment into Part 2 of the study was conditional on the results of Part 1. No participants were enrolled into Part 2.
