Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Open-label, Non-randomized, Parallel Group Study in Subjects With Mild and Moderate Hepatic Insufficiency and Healthy Volunteers (NCT NCT01767103)

NCT ID: NCT01767103

Last Updated: 2014-09-10

Results Overview

Cmax was assessed over a 24-hour interval for analyses of deferiprone and its 3-O-glucuronide metabolite in subjects with normal hepatic function, mild hepatic impairment, or moderate hepatic impairment. Blood samples were obtained prior to dosing and at 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.33, 1.66, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, and 24 hours post-dose.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24-hour interval

Population: The PK Analysis Set consisted of all subjects who had sufficient data to derive at least one PK parameter. The data of one subject in the moderate hepatic failure group were dropped due to low or zero volume of urine samples.

Cumulative amount of deferiprone and deferiprone 3-O-glucuronide excreted in the urine. Urine samples were collected at the intervals of -2 to 0 hours pre-dose, and 0-2, 2-4, 4-8, 8-12 ,and 12- 24 hours post-dose. Note: For unknown reasons, the urine samples for one subject in the moderate hepatic failure group had low or zero volume and there were no measurable levels of deferiprone or its metabolite in any of the samples. Accordingly, the urine PK results were derived both with and without this subject's data, and are here presented without them (i.e., N=6 rather than 7).
