About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Open-label Study to Investigate the Effect of Renal Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of Fezolinetant Compared to Subjects With Normal Renal Function

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of fezolinetant and ES259564 (fezolinetant metabolite) in female participants with varying levels of renal impairment (mild, moderate and severe) compared to healthy female participants with normal renal function.

This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of fezolinetant in female participants with varying levels of renal impairment (mild, moderate and severe) and healthy female participants with normal renal function.

Renal function will be measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula: Mild (eGFR 60 to < 90 mL/min per 1.73 m^2) renal impairment; moderate (eGFR 30 to < 60 mL/min per 1.73 m^2) renal impairment, severe (eGFR < 30 mL/min per 1.73 m^2) renal impairment and not on hemodialysis and normal (eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min per 1.73 m^2) renal function.

Read the detailed description

This study will be comprised of four groups of participants based on renal function. Participants will be screened for up to 28 days prior to investigational product (IP) administration on Day 1. Eligible participants with mild, moderate and severe renal function and healthy participants with normal renal function will be admitted to the clinical unit on Day -1 and will be residential for a single period of six days/five nights. On Day 1, participants will receive a single oral dose of fezolinetant under fasting conditions followed by a 96-hour in-house blood and urine sampling period. Participants are to remain awake, seated or semirecumbent and avoid lying on either the left or right side for at least four hours postdose. Standard safety and tolerability assessments will be conducted. Participants will be discharged from the clinical unit on Day 5 on the condition that all required assessments have been performed and that there are no medical reasons for a longer stay in the clinical unit.

The study will be completed with an end-of-study visit (ESV). The ESV will take place five to nine days after the last pharmacokinetic sample is collected or at early discontinuation from the study.

  2. Number of Participants With Laboratory Value Abnormalities and/or Adverse Events (AEs)

    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant laboratory values.

    Measured: Up to 14 days

    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant vital sign values.

    Measured: Up to 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing fezolinetant in people with Healthy Volunteers and Renal Impairment, run by Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc. at 7 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 12 inclusion and 33 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 17 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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 (PK) of Fezolinetant in Plasma: Area Under the Concentration-time Curve (AUC) From the Time of Dosing Extrapolated to Time Infinity (AUCinf) (time frame: Up to 5 days). The study lists 7 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 17 Oct 2024.
