What this trial studies

This Phase 1, open-label study aims to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of MBX 2109 in adult participants with both normal and impaired renal function. The study will involve a parallel-group design where subjects will receive a single dose of the drug, allowing researchers to compare the effects across different renal function groups. Participants will be monitored for safety and how the drug is processed in the body, providing crucial data for future studies. The study is designed to adapt based on initial findings to optimize participant safety and data collection.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 to 80 with either normal renal function or varying degrees of renal impairment.

Not a fit: Patients with severe renal impairment or those not meeting the inclusion criteria may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment options for patients with renal impairment.

How similar studies have performed: While this study focuses on a specific drug and population, similar pharmacokinetic studies have shown success in understanding drug safety in patients with renal impairment.

11. Considered clinically stable in the opinion of an Investigator
12. Presence of mild renal impairment (eGFR ≥ 60 and \<90 mL/min), moderate renal impairment (eGFR ≥ 30 and \<60 mL/min), or severe renal impairment (eGFR \<30 mL/min) or kidney failure not receiving dialysis, at Screening: renal impairment should have been stable for at least 1 month prior to Screening.

2. Female who is pregnant according to the pregnancy test at Screening or prior to study drug administration or planning to become pregnant before 90 days after the last study drug administration.
3. History of significant hypersensitivity to MBX 2109 or any related products (including excipients of the formulations) as well as severe hypersensitivity reactions (like angioedema) to any drugs.
4. History of, or positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), hepatitis C antibody (HCV Ab), or HIV antibody, at Screening.
5. Presence or history of any disorder that could interfere with completion of the study based on the opinion of an Investigator.
6. Intake of MBX 2109, or any investigational product (IP) in the 28 days prior to study drug administration.
