About
This is an open-label, parallel-group, single-dose study of the PK and safety of 400 mg pacritinib administered orally to patients with stable chronic liver disease and healthy control subjects.
Full description
All study participants will undergo screening evaluations to determine eligibility for the study. All screening evaluations must be performed within 28 days of pacritinib dosing (Day 1). Assignment of patients to each hepatic impairment group will be defined by Child-Pugh Clinical Assessment Score at the time of Screening. Group 3 patients will not be dosed until at least 2 patients combined from Groups 1 and 2 have completed the study (Day 8). Healthy subjects will be enrolled after hepatic impairment accrual is complete to allow for age-, gender- and body mass index- (BMI) matching with the hepatic impairment population. Participants will be admitted to the study site on Day -1 (i.e., Check-in). On Day 1, upon receipt of all baseline safety evaluation results and confirmation of eligibility, study participants will be administered a single dose of 400 mg pacritinib orally under fasting conditions. Fasting will start 10 hours prior to pacritinib administration and continue for an additional 4 hours after administration. Following administration of pacritinib, participants will remain confined to the study site for 168 hours (8 days) after pacritinib dosing for collection of blood for PK and safety assessments.

Study participants will refrain from sperm donation from Check-in (Day -1) until 90 days following Study Completion (Day 8)
-
BMI between 18-40 kg/m2 (inclusive) at Screening

- systolic blood pressure, 90-160 mm Hg
- diastolic blood pressure, 50-100 mm Hg
- pulse rate, 50-100 bpm
Blood pressure and pulse will be taken again in a standing position. After 3 minutes standing, there shall be no more than a 20 mm Hg drop in systolic blood pressure associated with symptomatic postural hypotension
-
Negative test for selected drugs of abuse (including alcohol) at Screening and at Baseline, prior to admission to study site, except for positive tests due to prescribed drugs in hepatic impaired patients
-
Negative human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody screens

Able to communicate well with the investigator, to understand and comply with the requirements of the study. Understand and sign the written informed consent. Legal authorized representatives are not permitted
Patients with Hepatic Impairment Only
-
Child-Pugh Clinical Assessment Score consistent with degree of hepatic impairment that is not attributable to any other underlying disease
-
Patients assigned to a hepatic impairment group must be evaluable and meet criteria for hepatic impairment per the Child-Pugh Clinical Assessment Score
Healthy subjects only
-
Healthy subjects will be identified after all hepatic impairment patients have been enrolled and the healthy subject group will have similar distributions of age (by hepatic impairment population quartiles), BMI (by hepatic impairment population quartiles) and gender
-
Negative hepatitis panel (including hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg], hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc), and hepatitis C virus antibody [anti-HCV])
