Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of Single-Dose Elbasvir in Participants with Hepatic Impairment.
    European journal of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, 2018, Volume: 43, Issue:3

    The combination of elbasvir and grazoprevir is approved for the treatment of hepatitis C virus genotype 1 or 4 infection.. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of single-dose elbasvir 50 mg in participants with hepatic impairment.. Participants with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment and age-, sex-, and weight-matched healthy controls were enrolled in a 3-part, open-label, sequential-panel, single-dose pharmacokinetic study. Blood samples were collected to assess pharmacokinetics. Safety and tolerability were assessed throughout the study.. Thirty-four participants were enrolled: eight with mild hepatic impairment, 11 with moderate hepatic impairment, seven with severe hepatic impairment, and eight healthy matched controls. Participants with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairment demonstrated a numeric, but not statistically significant, decrease in elbasvir exposure compared with controls, with a mean 39, 28, and 12% decrease in area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinity, as well as a 42, 31, and 42% decrease in maximum plasma concentration (C. The pharmacokinetics of elbasvir after a single, oral 50-mg dose were not clinically meaningfully altered in non-HCV-infected participants with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic dysfunction. However, since elbasvir is currently available only as part of a fixed-dose combination with grazoprevir, the fixed-dose combination should not be administered to patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment, due to the significantly increased plasma grazoprevir exposures in those populations.
