Ribupatide PK in People with Kidney Impairment

Official title: A Phase 1, Open Label, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Impact of Renal Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics of Ribupatide in Healthy Participants and in Participants Living With Severe Renal Impairment or End Stage Kidney Disease

Run by Kailera · NCT07793929 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests how a single shot of ribupatide behaves in the body for people with severe kidney problems compared to those with normal kidney function.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with renal impairment or end-stage kidney disease who are overweight or have obesity, and who meet the study's health and eligibility criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with certain health conditions or HIV/hepatitis status, recent major illnesses, or pregnancy restrictions may not benefit from or be eligible for this study.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1, interventional trial compares the pharmacokinetics of ribupatide after a single subcutaneous dose in participants with end-stage renal disease or severe renal impairment versus participants with normal renal function. The study aims to estimate key PK parameters to understand dosing considerations in kidney impairment. Eligible participants include adults with BMI 18.5 or higher, and women must meet pregnancy restrictions and testing requirements. Exclusion criteria cover recent illnesses and various health conditions to minimize confounding factors. The trial is conducted at Kailera Clinical Sites in Orlando and San Antonio and is sponsored by Kailera.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the results could inform safer and more effective dosing of ribupatide for people with kidney impairment.

How similar studies have gone: Previous PK studies of similar GLP-1–based candidates in renal impairment have provided actionable dosing guidance, but this exact ribupatide study is novel in its focus on PK differences by renal function.
