Study of Pexidartinib in Participants With Moderate Hepatic Impairment Compared With Healthy Participants

An Open-label, Single-dose Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics of Pexidartinib in Subjects With Moderate Hepatic Impairment Compared to Healthy Subjects

The pharmacokinetics of a single dose of pexidartinib was investigated in participants with impaired hepatic function and compared with healthy control participants with normal hepatic function.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Moderate Hepatic Impairment
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Pexidartinib

Detailed Description

Pexidartinib is an orally administered tyrosine kinase inhibitor, currently approved in the US for the treatment of adult patients with symptomatic tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) associated with severe morbidity or functional limitations and not amenable to improvement with surgery.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of pexidartinib after a single oral dose of 200 mg in participants with moderate hepatic impairment (HI) as defined by National Cancer Institute Organ Dysfunction Working Group (NCI-ODWG) criteria compared to the healthy controls participants with normal hepatic function.

• Moderate HI as assessed by the National Cancer Institute-Organ Dysfunction Working Group (NCI-ODWG) criteria (total bilirubin [TBIL] >1.5 to 3x upper limit of normal [ULN]) not due to Gilbert's syndrome.
• Normal or nonclinically relevant findings at physical examination and normal limits or nonclinically relevant deviations in clinical laboratory evaluations, with exception of findings that in the opinion of investigator are consistent with participant's HI.
• Clinical stability in the opinion of the investigator.

• Female participants (both, healthy and HI participants) who are of non-childbearing potential must be:

  • Surgically sterile (ie, bilateral tubal ligation or removal of both ovaries and/or uterus at least 6 months prior to dosing, or Essure® with hysterosalpingogram [documentation to confirm tubal occlusion 12 weeks after procedure]).
  • Naturally postmenopausal (spontaneous cessation of menses) for at least 12 consecutive months prior to dosing, confirmed by follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) or estradiol testing.
• Female participants (both, healthy and HI subjects) who are of childbearing potential must agree to barrier method of contraceptive therapy or refrain from sexual intercourse to prevent pregnancy until 1 month post dose. If the participant is on oral contraceptive, the participant needs to use the barrier method in addition to oral contraceptive. Female participants must refrain from breastfeeding for at least 2 weeks post dose.
• Male participants (both, healthy and HI subjects) must surgically sterile or agree to use double barrier methods of contraception from Check-in until 1 month after the dose of pexidartinib. Also, male participants must not donate sperm from Check-in until 1 month after pexidartinib administration.
