A Phase 1 Open-Label Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of a Single Dose of Apraglutide in Subjects With Normal and Impaired Hepatic Function
A Phase 1, Open-Label Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of a Single Dose of Apraglutide in Subjects With Normal and Impaired Hepatic Function
The primary objective is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of apraglutide in subjects with hepatic impairment compared with matched control subjects with normal hepatic function following single subcutaneous (SC) dose administration.

Study Timeline
Dates and qualifiers reported by the registry. Estimated dates do not confirm that a milestone has occurred.
Area Under the Curve to Infinity (AUCinf) of Apraglutide
Apraglutide was quantified in human plasma samples using a fully validated liquid chromatography mass spectrometry-based method, with a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 1 ng/mL and an upper limit of 200 ng/mL. Plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for apraglutide were estimated using non-compartmental methods from the concentration-time profiles. Actual sampling times, rather than scheduled sampling times, were used. AUCinf was calculated as: AUCinf = AUC from time zero to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast) + (Clast/kel) where Clast was the observed concentration at the last time point with concentrations above the lower limit of quantification and kel was the terminal elimination rate constant.
Area Under the Curve (AUC) From Time Zero to 168 Hours Post-dose (AUC0-168h) of Apraglutide
Apraglutide was quantified in human plasma samples using a fully validated liquid chromatography mass spectrometry-based method, with a LLOQ of 1 ng/mL and an upper limit of 200 ng/mL. Plasma PK parameters for apraglutide were estimated using non-compartmental methods from the concentration-time profiles. Actual sampling times, rather than scheduled sampling times, were used.
Pre-dose Day 1; 6, 12, 24, 28, 36, 40, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post-dose
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Apraglutide
Apraglutide was quantified in human plasma samples using a fully validated liquid chromatography mass spectrometry-based method, with a LLOQ of 1 ng/mL and an upper limit of 200 ng/mL. Plasma PK parameters for apraglutide were estimated using non-compartmental methods from the concentration-time profiles. Actual sampling times, rather than scheduled sampling times, were used. Cmax was the observed peak analyte concentration obtained directly from the experimental data without interpolation, expressed in concentration units.
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Time of Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Apraglutide
Part 2 was to be conducted if the geometric mean ratio (GMR) point estimate of apraglutide AUCinf or AUClast for the moderate hepatic impairment group compared with the control group was ≥2. As the GMR point estimate of AUCinf was \<2, the trial stopped after Part 1.
