About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Single-dose, Parallel-group Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics of Fevipiprant (QAW039) in Patients With Hepatic Impairment Compared to Matched Healthy Subjects

This study will characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of QAW039 after a single oral dose of QAW039 in patients with hepatic impairment compared to healthy matched control subjects.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine if the pharmacokinetic profile of Fevipiprant is different in patients with hepatic impairment compared to healthy matched volunteers to an extent that would require an adjustment of the dosage. Data from this study will be used to guide enrollment criteria in future clinical trials and to support regulatory submission and labeling information.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetics: Plasma concentration of Fevipiprant by AUClast

    AUClast is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration

    Measured: 120 hours post-dose

  2. Pharmacokinetics: Plasma concentration of Fevipiprant by AUCinf

    AUCinf is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity

    Measured: 120 hours post-dose

  3. Pharmacokinetics: Plasma concentration of Fevipiprant by Cmax

    Cmax is the observed maximum plasma concentration following drug administration

    Measured: 120 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Relationship between plasma pharmacokinetics of Fevipiprant by AUClast and baseline hepatic function.

    AUClast (the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration ) related to Child Pugh score

    Measured: 120 hours post-dose

  2. Relationship between plasma pharmacokinetics of Fevipiprant by AUCinf and baseline hepatic function.

    AUCinf (the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity) related to Child Pugh score

    Measured: 120 hours post-dose

  3. Relationship between plasma pharmacokinetics of Fevipiprant by Cmax and baseline hepatic function.

    Cmax is the observed maximum plasma concentration following drug administration related to Child Pugh score

    Measured: 120 hours post-dose

  4. Pharmacokinetics of the metabolite CCN362 by AUClast

    AUClast is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration

    Measured: 120 hours post-dose

  5. Pharmacokinetics of the metabolite CCN362 by AUCinf

    AUCinf is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity

    Measured: 120 hours post-dose

  6. Pharmacokinetics of the metabolite CCN362 by Cmax

    Cmax is the observed maximum plasma concentration following drug administration

    Measured: 120 hours post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Fevipiprant in people with Hepatic Impairment, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 2 sites 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 9 inclusion and 18 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 11 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Pharmacokinetics: Plasma concentration of Fevipiprant by AUClast (time frame: 120 hours post-dose). The study lists 3 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 11 Dec 2020.
