  • Subject has no clinically significant medical conditions (other than renal impairment and associated diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, for subjects in Group A) as determined by medical history, physical examination, 12-lead ECG, clinical laboratory results (hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis [if able to pass urine]), and serology results (hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C virus antibody, and human immunodeficiency virus types 1 and 2 antibody). Subjects with positive results for hepatitis C virus but who have normal liver enzymes will not be excluded. Any subjects who have impaired hepatic function that will potentially affect drug metabolism should be excluded.

About this study

Official title: A Study to Compare the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetic Profile of a Single Oral Dose of Pitavastatin 4 mg in Adult Volunteers With Severe Renal Impairment Who Are Not Being Treated With Hemodialysis Versus Healthy Adult Volunteers

This is a Phase 4, multicenter, open label, 1 period study. A total of 16 subjects are planned (8 subjects in Group A and 8 subjects in Group B):

The 2 groups will be comparable in terms of age, gender, and body mass index (BMI); the ranges for comparison will be obtained from the pooled demographic data of the renally impaired subjects. The mean age of Group B will be within 5 years of the mean age of Group A, the mean BMI of Group B will be within 18% of the mean BMI of Group A, and the ratio of men to women in Group B will be the same as in Group A.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pitavastatin 4mg in people with Severe Renal Impairment, run by Kowa Research Institute, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Aug 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Area Under the Curve From 0 to Tau (AUC 0-t (ng*h/mL)) (time frame: 48 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Aug 2012.
