Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Compare How Different Medicines (Rosuvastatin, Digoxin, Metformin, and Furosemide) Are Handled by the Body of Healthy People and People With Liver Cirrhosis (NCT NCT05741372)

NCT ID: NCT05741372

Last Updated: 2026-01-13

Results Overview

Adjusted geometric means and adjusted geometric standard errors were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model on the logarithmic scale. The pharmacokinetics endpoint was log transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model. This model included effects accounting for the following sources of variation: 'group', age, and BMI. All effects were considered as fixed.

Participant Flow

The purpose of this single dose, open label study was to investigate whether the maximum concentration (Cmax) and the area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma from time point 0 to time point 24 hours (AUC0-24) values for the different components in the transporter cocktail - digoxin, furosemide, metformin and rosuvastatin are similar or different in F4 graded liver fibrosis (cirrhosis) patients on standard therapy compared to healthy participants.

Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria were to be entered in the study. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Rescue medication was allowed for all patients as required.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Within 2 hours (hrs) before and at 30 minutes (min), 1 hrs, 1.5 hrs, 2 hrs, 3 hrs, 4 hrs, 6 hrs, 8 hrs, 10 hrs, 12 hrs, and 24 hrs after drug administration.

Population: Pharmacokinetic parameter analysis set (PKS): This set included all subjects in the treated set (TS) who provided at least one pharmacokinetics (PK) endpoint that was defined as primary and was not excluded due to a protocol deviation relevant to the evaluation of PK or due to PK non-evaluability. Descriptive and model-based analyses of PK parameters were based on the PKS.

Adjusted geometric means and adjusted geometric standard errors were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model on the logarithmic scale. The pharmacokinetics endpoint was log transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model. This model included effects accounting for the following sources of variation: 'group', age, and BMI. All effects were considered as fixed.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Within 2 hours (hrs) before and at 30 minutes (min), 1 hrs, 1.5 hrs, 2 hrs, 3 hrs, 4 hrs, 6 hrs, 8 hrs, 10 hrs, 12 hrs, and 24 hrs after drug administration.

Population: Pharmacokinetic parameter analysis set (PKS): This set included all subjects in the treated set (TS) who provided at least one pharmacokinetics (PK) endpoint that was defined as primary and was not excluded due to a protocol deviation relevant to the evaluation of PK or due to PK non-evaluability. Descriptive and model-based analyses of PK parameters were based on the PKS.

Adjusted geometric means and adjusted geometric standard errors were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model on the logarithmic scale. The pharmacokinetics endpoint was log transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model. This model included effects accounting for the following sources of variation: 'group', age, and BMI. All effects were considered as fixed.
