Evaluating quizartinib in patients with severe liver impairment

A Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-Label, Single-Dose Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of Quizartinib in Subjects With Severe Impaired Hepatic Function

Phase 1 Interventional Daiichi Sankyo · NCT06740799

This study is testing how a single dose of quizartinib affects people with severe liver problems compared to healthy individuals to see if it's safe and how the body processes the medication.

What this trial studies

This clinical pharmacology study aims to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of a single oral dose of 30 mg quizartinib in subjects with severe hepatic impairment, as defined by Child-Pugh criteria. The study will involve two cohorts: one consisting of subjects with severe hepatic impairment and another of matched healthy control subjects with normal liver function. The research will be conducted at up to three sites in the United States, focusing on comparing the PK profiles between the two groups.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 75 with severe hepatic impairment as defined by Child-Pugh criteria.

Not a fit: Patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment or those with normal liver function may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide critical insights into the safe use of quizartinib in patients with severe liver impairment.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored pharmacokinetics in patients with hepatic impairment, but this specific evaluation of quizartinib is novel.

In females, agreement to not retrieve eggs/ova via assisted reproductive technology (ART) either for their own use or donation while on the study or for 7 months after the last dose of study drug, whichever is later.

5\. In males, documented surgical sterilization, sexual abstinence, or agreement to use 1 of the means of contraception from Screening until 4 months after the dose of quizartinib 6. In males, agreement to avoid sperm donation for 4 months after the dose of quizartinib

Key Exclusion:

1. Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric disorder, or other conditions (including lab abnormality except hepatic impairment) that could interfere with safety, obtaining informed consent, compliance to the study procedures, or the validity of the study results.
2. In the opinion of the investigator, history of a clinically significant illness within 4 weeks prior to administration of quizartinib.
3. Subjects with primary biliary cirrhosis or primary sclerosing cholangitis.
4. Subjects with history of Gilbert's syndrome.
5. Presence or history of clinically severe adverse reaction to any drug or known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients (including inactive ingredients) of quizartinib.
6. History of stomach or intestinal surgery or resection that would potentially alter absorption and/or excretion of orally administered drugs (with the exception of appendectomy, hernia repair, and/or cholecystectomy).
