study to evaluate the effect of renal impairment and dialysis treatment on the pharmacokinetics of a single 3 mg cytisinicline dose

Conditions: Renal Impairment

Summary: the primary objectives of this study are: 1. to obtain information on the pharmacokinetics of cytisinicline following a single oral dose in subjects with varying degrees of renal impairment relative to matched controls with normal renal function. 2. to investigate the extent of cytisinicline removal by hemodialysis.

or 2. is of childbearing potential and agrees to use an accepted contraceptive method from at least 28 days prior to dose administration (prior to first dose administration for group 5) until at least 1 month after the end of study (eos). * negative test results for anti-human immunodeficiency virus 1 and 2 antibodies (anti-hiv-1ab and anti-hiv-2ab), hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag) and anti-hepatitis c virus antibodies (anti-hcvab). * stable concomitant medications for at least 7 days prior to dose administration (first dose administration for group 5) and up to the eos. additional inclusion criteria for subjects with renal impairment (groups 2 to 5) * egfr at screening, determined by the cockcroft-gault equation, within: * 60-89 ml/min for group 2 (mild renal impairment subjects). * 30-59 ml/min for group 3 (moderate renal impairment subjects). * 15-29 ml/min for group 4 (severe renal impairment subjects). * \<15 ml/min for group 5 (esrd subjects) * subjects with esrd are on dialysis for at least 3 months prior to screening. * systolic blood pressure (sbp) 100-180mmhg, diastolic blood pressure (dbp) 50-105 mmhg, and pulse rate 50-100 bpm (inclusive), at screening and admission. additional inclusion criteria for subjects with normal renal function (group 1) * estimated glomerular filtration rate (egfr) ≥90 ml/min at screening, determined by the cockcroft-gault equation. * no clinically relevant abnormalities on clinical laboratory tests at screening. * blood pressure and pulse rate at screening within the following ranges: * sbp 90-140 mmhg, dbp 60-90 mmhg, and pulse rate 60-100 bpm (inclusive) for subjects \<65 years of age. * sbp 95-160mmhg, dbp 65-95 mmhg, and pulse rate 60-100 bpm (inclusive) for subjects ≥65 years of age. exclusion criteria: * known hypersensitivity/allergy reaction to cytisinicline substance or any of the excipients. * history of renal, heart, and/or liver transplant. * history or clinical evidence of any disease and/or existence of any surgical or medical condition, which might interfere in a relevant manner with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the study treatment except for renal disease. * symptoms of an acute clinically relevant infection in the 4-week period preceding screening (e.g., bacterial, viral, or fungal infection). * history or clinical evidence of alcohol use disorder or substance use disorder according to diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders 5 (dsm-5) classification, within the 3-year period prior to screening. * clinically relevant abnormalities on a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ecg), recorded after 5 min in the supine position at screening. * currently using any creatine supplement. * nicotine consumption (e.g., smoking, nicotine patch, nicotine chewing gum, or electronic cigarettes) from 48 hours prior to admission. * excessive caffeine consumption, defined as ≥800 mg per day at screening. * positive result in drugs-of-abuse or ethanol tests at screening or admission. note: subjects receiving stable treatment of methadone and benzodiazepines will be allowed to be enrolled in the study even if the urine drug screen test is positive. * veins unsuitable for intravenous puncture on either arm (e.g., veins that are difficult to locate, access or puncture; veins with a tendency to rupture during or after puncture). * participation in any clinical trial within the previous 2 months. * loss of 250 ml or more blood within 3 months prior to screening. * if female, positive pregnancy test in serum at screening or positive pregnancy test in urine at admission. * if female, she is breast-feeding. additional exclusion criteria for subjects with renal impairment (group 2 to 5) * presence of severe cardiac disease. * history of severe renal artery stenosis. * presence of unstable diabetes mellitus. * acute, ongoing, recurrent, or chronic systemic disease other than renal function impairment that could interfere with the evaluation of the study results. * presence of any organ disorder, except for renal function impairment, which might interfere with the pk of cytisinicline. * use of any medication which might interfere with the pk of cytisinicline. * clinically relevant findings in clinical laboratory tests (hematology, clinical chemistry, and urinalysis), except for those related to renal impairment, at screening. additional exclusion criteria for subjects with esrd (group 5) * blood hemoglobin \<10 g/dl at screening.
