About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Non-randomized, Parallel-group, Open-label Study to Characterize the Pharmacokinetics of a Single Intravenous Dose of CB-238,618 in Subjects With Varying Degrees of Renal Impairment Compared to Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to characterize the effect of renal function on the plasma, urine, and dialysate pharmacokinetic profile of MK-6183 (CB-238,618) in humans. The study will also assess the safety profile and tolerability of MK-6183 in healthy participants, participants with varying degrees of renal impairment (RI), or participants with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis (HD), based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) From Dosing to Last Measurable Concentration (AUC0-last) of MK-6183

    AUC0-last is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from the time of dosing to the last post-dose measurable concentration. Blood samples for Group E were collected both prior to and during HD (Period 1) and after HD (Period 2) [data from Periods 1 and 2 were analyzed separately]. In Period 1, HD commenced 3.5 hours post-dose (HD duration was 3.5 to 4 hours) and sample collection continued until 48 hours post-dose.

Blood samples for Group E were collected both prior to and during HD (Period 1) and after HD (Period 2) [data from Periods 1 and 2 were analyzed separately]. In Period 1, HD commenced 3.5 hours post-dose (HD duration was 3.5 to 4 hours) and sample collection continued until 48 hours post-dose.

Blood samples for Group E were collected both prior to and during HD (Period 1) and after HD (Period 2) [data from Periods 1 and 2 were analyzed separately]. In Period 1, HD commenced 3.5 hours post-dose (HD duration was 3.5 to 4 hours) and sample collection continued until 48 hours post-dose.

  5. Volume of Distribution at Steady State (Vss) of MK-6183

    Vss is the apparent volume of distribution at steady state for MK-6183. Blood samples for Group E were collected both prior to and during HD (Period 1) and after HD (Period 2) [data from Periods 1 and 2 were analyzed separately]. In Period 1, HD commenced 3.5 hours post-dose (HD duration was 3.5 to 4 hours) and sample collection continued until 48 hours post-dose.

  7. Cumulative Amount of MK-6183 Excreted in Urine or Dialysate (Ae)

    Ae is the cumulative amount of drug excreted unchanged in urine or dialysate. For Groups A, B, C, and D, Ae was assessed in urine. For Group E: Period 1, Ae was assessed in dialysate (participants in Group E had no detectable urine data) at hourly collection intervals during HD (HD commenced 3 hours after dosing).

    Measured: Up to 12 days

  2. Number of Participants Discontinuing From the Study Due to an AE

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MK-6183 in people with Healthy Volunteers and Renal Impairment, run by Cubist Pharmaceuticals LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, New Jersey USA).

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 1 inclusion and 8 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 18 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 18 Feb 2019). 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 Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) From Dosing to Last Measurable Concentration (AUC0-last) of MK-6183 (time frame: Groups A to D & Group E: Period 2: Pre-dose and 0.5, 1 (end of infusion; EOI), 1.5, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-dose). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Feb 2019.
