Single-dose pharmacokinetics of nefazodone in healthy young and elderly subjects and in subjects with renal or hepatic impairment.
The single-dose pharmacokinetics of nefazodone (NEF) and its metabolites hydroxynefazodone (HO-NEF) and m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) were examined in 12 healthy younger subjects < or = 55 years of age (YNG), 12 elderly subjects > or = 65 years of age (ELD), 12 patients with biopsy proven hepatic cirrhosis (HEP) and 12 patients with moderate renal impairment (REN), ClCR 20-60 ml.min-1. The study was of parallel group design, with each of the four subject groups receiving escalating single oral doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg of nefazodone at 1 week intervals. Serial blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis were collected for 48 h following each dose and plasma samples were assayed for NEF, HO-NEF and mCPP by a validated HPLC method. Single oral doses up to 200 mg of nefazodone were well tolerated by all subjects. Maximum plasma levels of NEF and HO-NEF were generally attained within 1 h after administration of nefazodone. HO-NEF and mCPP plasma levels were about 1/3 and < 1/10 those of NEF, respectively. There were no apparent gender-related pharmacokinetic differences in any group of subjects. NEF and HO-NEF pharmacokinetics were dose dependent in all four subject groups; a superproportional increase in AUC and an increase in t1/2 with increasing dose was obtained, indicative of nonlinear pharmacokinetics. Relative to normal subjects, elderly and cirrhotic subjects exhibited increased systemic exposure to NEF and HO-NEF, as reflected by AUC, at all doses of nefazodone; subjects with moderate renal impairment did not. Elderly and cirrhotic patients may require lower doses of NEF to achieve and maintain therapeutic effectiveness.

Steady-state pharmacokinetics of nefazodone in subjects with normal and impaired renal function.
The steady-state pharmacokinetics of nefazodone (NEF) and its metabolites hydroxynefazodone (HO-NEF) and m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP) were compared in subjects with normal and impaired renal function.. The Study was of parallel group design which included 7 subjects with normal (NOR) renal function, CLCR > or = 72 ml.min-1 x 1.73 m-2, 6 with moderate (MOD) renal impairment, CLCR 31-60 ml.min-1 x 1.73 m-2 and 9 with severe (SEV) renal impairment, CLCR < or = 30 ml.min-1 x 1.73 m-2. Subjects in each renal function group received a 100-mg oral dose of nefazodone hydrochloride BID for 7 days and a single morning dose on day 8. Starting 48 h after the last 100-mg dose, 200-mg doses were administered on a similar schedule to 3, 4 and 3 subjects from each renal function group (NOR, MOD and SEV, respectively). Single trough blood samples just prior to each morning dose (Cmin) and serial samples after the dose on day 8 were obtained at each dose level for pharmacokinetic analysis. Plasma samples were assayed by a specific HPLC method for NEF, HO-NEF and mCPP. The CMIN data indicated that steady state was attained by the third day of BID administration of both the 100- and 200-mg doses of nefazodone, regardless of degree of renal function. Both NEF and HO-NEF attained steady-state Cmax within 2 h after administration of nefazodone; tmax for mCPP was less defined and more delayed. HO-NEF and mCPP plasma levels were about 1/3 and < 1/10 those of NEF, respectively, regardless of the status of renal function. Steady-state systemic exposure of NEF and HO-NEF, as reflected by AUC and Cmax, and elimination t1/2 values did not differ significantly among renal function groups.. The study results suggest that dose adjustments may not be necessary, but nefazodone should be used with caution in the presence of severe renal impairment.
