About

This is a study to characterize the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of KD025 and KD025 metabolites in subjects with mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment compared to healthy subjects with normal hepatic function.

Full description

The primary objective of the study is:

• To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of KD025 following a single oral dose of KD025 in subjects with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment compared to healthy subjects with normal hepatic function.

The secondary objectives of the study are:

• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of KD025 in subjects with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment, and in healthy subjects with normal hepatic function.
• To assess the PK of the KD025 metabolites following a single oral dose of KD025 in subjects with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment compared to healthy subjects with normal hepatic function.

Enrollment: 35 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

For All Subjects:

Subjects must satisfy all of the following criteria at the Screening visit, unless otherwise stated:

1. Males or females, of any race, between 18 and 75 years of age, inclusive.

2. Body mass index between 18.0 and 38.0 kg/m^2, inclusive.

3. Females of non-childbearing potential defined as permanently sterile (ie, due to hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy) or postmenopausal (defined as females at least 45 years of age with at least 12 months post-cessation of menses without an alternative medical cause, even with a follicle-stimulating hormone level ≤40 mIU/mL, unless on hormone replacement therapy).

4. Males will agree to use contraception

5. Male subjects must not donate sperm from Check-in (Day -1) until 90 days after the Follow-up visit.

6. Able to comprehend and willing to sign an informed consent form and to abide by the study restrictions.

   For Subjects with Normal Hepatic Function Only:

7. In good health, determined by no clinically significant findings from medical history, PE, 12-lead ECG, vital sign measurements, and clinical laboratory evaluations at Screening and Check-in (Day -1), as assessed by the Investigator (or designee).

8. Matched to subjects with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment in sex, age (±10 years), and body mass index (±20%).

   For Subjects with Hepatic Impairment Only:

9. Documented chronic stable liver disease (Child-Pugh Class A [mild], B [moderate], or C [severe] at Screening); diagnosis of hepatic impairment due to parenchymal liver disease. If the Child-Pugh Class of a subject differs between Screening and Check-in, the Child-Pugh Class documented at Screening will be utilized for enrollment. This will exclude biliary liver cirrhosis or other causes of hepatic impairment unrelated to parenchymal disorder.:

   • 'Documented' is defined by at least 1 of the following: medical history, PE, hepatic ultrasound, computed axial tomography scan, magnetic resonance imaging, and/or liver biopsy.
   • 'Chronic' is defined as >6 months.
   • 'Stable' is defined as no clinically significant change in disease status within the last 3 months (90 days), as documented by the subject's recent medical history (eg, no worsening of clinical signs of hepatic impairment, or no worsening of total bilirubin or prothrombin time by more than 50%).

10. Subjects with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment may have medical findings consistent with their hepatic dysfunction as determined by medical history, PE, 12-lead ECG, vital sign measurements, and clinical laboratory evaluations at Screening and Check-in (Day -1), as assessed by the Investigator (or designee).

11. Non-hepatic, abnormal clinical laboratory evaluations not clinically relevant, as judged by the Investigator (or designee) and Covance Medical Monitor.

12. Currently on a stable medication regimen, defined as not starting new drug(s) or changing drug dose(s) within 30 days of administration of study drug (Day 1). Concomitant medications administered within 30 days prior to administration of KD025 (Day 1) must be approved by the Investigator (or designee), Sponsor, and Covance Medical Monitor.

13. Anemia secondary to hepatic disease will be acceptable, if hemoglobin >9 g/dL and anemia symptoms are not clinically significant as judged by the Investigator (or designee) and Covance Medical Monitor.

14. Platelet count ≥35 × 10^9 platelets/L.

15. Subjects with diabetes mellitus may be included, provided the subjects have:

    1. Glycosylated hemoglobin A1c values ≤9.5% at Screening. Subjects with values outside this range may be allowed by the Covance Medical Monitor on a case-by-case basis.
    2. Blood glucose values ≤240 mg/dL at Screening and Check-in (Day -1) while on subjects' normal diabetes medication.
