pharmacokinetics of cotadutide in participants with hepatic impairment

Conditions: Hepatic Impairment

Summary: this study will assess the pharmacokinetics (pk), safety, and tolerability of a single subcutaneous injection of cotadutide in participants with mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment compared to participants with normal hepatic function.

this study will consist of four cohorts (cohort 1, cohort 2, cohort 3, and cohort 4). participants will be assigned to each of the cohorts as per child-pugh classification: * cohort 1: mild hepatic impairment (child-pugh a), cotadutide 50 μg * cohort 2: moderate hepatic impairment (child-pugh b), cotadutide 50 μg * cohort 3: severe hepatic impairment (child-pugh c), cotadutide 50 μg * cohort 4: normal hepatic function, cotadutide 50 μg

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: * participant must be ≥ 18 to ≤ 85 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (icf). * body mass index ≥ 18 kg/m2 to \< 40 kg/m2. * female participants of childbearing potential must use at least one highly effective form of birth control. * capable of giving signed informed consent. participants with hepatic impairment only - diagnosis of chronic (≥ 6 months) and stable hepatic impairment (eg, no clinically significant change in signs, symptoms, or laboratory parameters of hepatic disease status within 30 days prior to study screening). exclusion criteria: all participants * history of severe allergy/hypersensitivity or ongoing clinically important allergy/hypersensitivity, or history of hypersensitivity to drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to cotadutide. * any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of the 12-lead resting electrocardiogram (ecg) and any clinically important abnormalities in the 12-lead ecg as considered by the investigator that may interfere with the interpretation of qt interval corrected for heart rate using fridericia's formula (qtcf), including abnormal st-t-wave morphology, or left ventricular hypertrophy 1. prolonged qtcf \> 470 ms or family history of long qt syndrome. 2. pr (pq) interval shortening \< 120 ms. 3. pr (pq) interval prolongation (\> 220 ms) intermittent or permanent second or third degree atrioventricular (av) block, or av dissociation. 4. persistent or intermittent complete bundle branch block, or intraventricular conduction delay with qrs \> 119 ms. * any evidence of additional severe or uncontrolled systemic disease or laboratory finding that makes it unsafe for the participant to participate in the study. * impaired renal function, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (egfr) \< 30 ml/minute/1.73 m2 at screening. * any positive result on screening for serum hepatitis b surface antigen, anti-core hbv antibody, hepatitis c antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). * any sign and confirmation of coronavirus disease 2019 (covid19) infection: * participants with concurrent or previous use of a glucagon-like peptide-1 (glp1) receptor agonist. * use of prohibited prescribed or nonprescribed medication during the 2 weeks prior to the first administration of investigational medicinal product (imp) or longer if the medication has a long half-life. * history of neoplastic disease within 5 years prior to screening, except for adequately treated basal cell, squamous cell skin cancer, or in situ cervical cancer. * presence of hepatocellular carcinoma or acute liver disease caused by an infection or drug toxicity. participants with hepatic impairment only * severe portal hypertension or surgical porto-systemic shunts. * biliary obstruction or other causes of hepatic impairment not related to parenchymal disorder and/or disease of the liver. * clinically relevant hepatic encephalopathy. * severe ascites defined as ascites requiring paracentesis and albumin at 4-week intervals or less. * fluctuating or rapidly deteriorating hepatic function, as indicated by strongly varying or worsening of clinical and/or laboratory signs of hepatic impairment within the 28-day screening period. * post liver transplantation. * platelet count \ 2.3. participants with normal hepatic function only * history or presence of hepatic disease or evidence of other known forms of known chronic liver disease. * history or presence of gastrointestinal, hepatic, or renal disease, or any other condition known to interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs. * urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio \> 3 mg/μmol.
