Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment on the systemic pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of icenticaftor in participants with varying degrees of hepatic impairment.
In animals, normal hepatic expression of ABCC6 (ATP-binding transporter cassette, subfamily C, member 6) determines plasma pyrophosphate (PPi) concentration. PPi prevents the formation of hydroxyapatite crystals on tissues by precipitation of calcium and inorganic phosphate (Pi). It is an endogenous compound whose deficiency causes diffuse vascular calcifications in certain rare monogenic diseases, including the elastic pseudoxanthoma caused by the mutation of ABCC6. PPi is produced by enzymatic transformation of extracellular ATP and, in animals, the liver is the main supplier of ATP and PPi (more than 90%). In humans, liver transplantation offers the possibility of correlating the plasma concentration of PPi ([PPi]pl) with hepatic expression of ABCC6. Liver transplantation is performed in the treatment of chronic liver failure (Child B or C) or, in the absence of liver failure, in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. By measuring[PPi]pl before transplantation and after liver function restoration and by measuring ABCC6 in the diseased liver and healthy liver, it is possible to determine whether liver failure is associated with decreased[PPi]pl and decreased liver expression of ABCC6, which is the objective of our pilot study. Its interest is to establish a physiopathological link between the frequent vascular calcifications in obese patients with hepatic steatosis and the production of PPi. prupose: Look for a deficit in[PPi]pl in patients before the transplant compared to the phase of restoration of liver function
This is an investigational study of experimental Medication BMS-986231 given to participants with weakened or damaged liver function.
Pharmacokinetics of Buprenorphine and Naloxone in Subjects with Mild to Severe Hepatic Impairment and in HCV-Seropositive Subjects, and in Healthy Volunteers.
1. To compare the pharmacokinetics of Dimebon in subjects with mild and moderate hepatic impairment to subjects with normal hepatic function. 2. To assess the safety and tolerability of Dimebon in subjects with hepatic impairment and subjects with normal hepatic function. 3. To explore the pharmacokinetics of Dimebon in subjects with severely-impaired hepatic function.
