Safety and Pharmacokinetics of CMX001 in Impaired Hepatic Function and Healthy Subjects

An Open-Label Study to Determine the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of CMX001 in Subjects With Impaired Hepatic Function and Healthy Subjects With Normal Hepatic Function

This is an open-label, non-randomized, multi-center, sequential group, safety, tolerance, and Pharmacokinetic study of a single dose of CMX001 administered at 2 mg/kg of ideal body weight rounded to the closest 20 mg in fasted healthy control subjects compared with that in fasted subjects with moderate and severe hepatic impairment.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Hepatic Impairment
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: CMX001

Detailed Description

A maximum of 24 subjects will be studied at multiple sites in the Unites States. Eight subjects with normal hepatic function and 8 subjects with moderate hepatic impairment will be enrolled on Cohort 1 and an additional 8 subjects with severe hepatic impairment may be enrolled in Cohort 2. The severity of hepatic impairment will be assessed according to the Child-Pugh-Turcotte (CPT) score1 (see Table 4-2). Because CMX001 is highly protein-bound, to avoid confounding the PK assessment of hepatic impairment versus hypoalbuminemia, only patients with serum albumin levels >3 g/dL will be enrolled in this study.

Potential subjects will be screened to assess their eligibility to enter the study within 28 days prior to Check-in.

Subjects who have met inclusion and exclusion criteria will check in to the clinic on Day -1 and receive a single oral dose of CMX001 (2 mg/kg of ideal body weight rounded to the closest 20 mg) on Day 1. The study design schematic is presented in Table 4-3. Subjects will be discharged from the clinic on Day 2 (if stable in the opinion of the Investigator), return for outpatient visits on Days 3 through 6 for safety assessments and PK sampling, and return for an End of Study Visit on Day 14 ± 2 for safety assessments. Subjects may be confined to the clinic during the period of Day -1 to Day 6 at the discretion of the Investigator, after discussion with the Medical Monitor.

7. Male subjects will either be sterile or agree to use from Check-in until 45 days following Study Discharge one of the following approved methods of contraception: a male condom with spermicide; a sterile sexual partner; or use by female sexual partner of an IUD with spermicide; a female condom with spermicide; contraceptive sponge with spermicide; an intravaginal system (e.g., NuvaRing®); a diaphragm with spermicide; a cervical cap with spermicide; or oral, implantable, transdermal, or injectable contraceptives.

For healthy subjects with normal hepatic function:

1. Normal hepatic function defined as alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, bilirubin, serum albumin, and gamma glutamyl transferase all within normal limits;
2. The absence of clinically-relevant abnormalities identified by a detailed medical history, full physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory tests;
3. Negative hepatitis panel (including HBsAg and hepatitis C virus antibody);
4. No medical or surgical conditions that might significantly interfere with gastrointestinal absorption of CMX001.

For subjects with impaired hepatic function:

1. Otherwise healthy subjects as determined by a detailed medical history, complete physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory tests (abnormal findings that are related to the subject's underlying condition are acceptable);
2. Satisfy the criteria for Class B or Class C of the modified Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CPT) classification (mild [CPT score of 5 to 6 points], moderate [CPT score of 7 to 9 points], and severe [CPT score of >9 to <12 points]);
3. A diagnosis of chronic hepatic impairment due to cirrhosis or fibrosis, not secondary to other diseases, which is confirmed and documented by medical history, physical examination, and/or liver biopsy, hepatic ultrasound, computed tomography scan, or magnetic resonance imaging.

Exclusion Criteria:
