About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Single-Dose Study to Investigate the Pharmacokinetics of MK-8616 in Subjects With Moderate and Severe Renal Insufficiency

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetics of a single 4 mg/kg intravenous (IV) dose of sugammadex in participants with moderate and severe renal insufficiency compared to that in participants with normal renal function. The study consists of two parts. In Part 1, participants with renal insufficiency and healthy participants will be administered study drug by IV bolus injection into a peripheral vein. In Part 2, participants with renal insufficiency and healthy participants will be administered study drug as an IV bolus into a peripheral vein, through an IV catheter connected to IV tubing with injection port. Subjects who participate in Part 1 of study may be enrolled in Part 2, which would reduce the overall number of participants enrolled for the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Geometric Least Squares Mean Area Under the Plasma Drug Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC0-∞) Following a Single IV Dose of Sugammadex

    Plasma samples for determination of sugammadex pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained pre-dose and at specified post-dose time points. AUC0-∞ was calculated as the sum of the AUC to the last time point with a detectable plasma concentration (AUC0-last, determined by trapezoidal method) and the extrapolated area given by Cest,last/λz, where Cest,last is the estimated concentration corresponding to the time of the last measurable concentration and λz is the apparent first-order terminal elimination rate constant. For each subject, λz was calculated by regression of the terminal log-linear portion of the plasma concentration-time profile. The reported least squares mean is the geometric least squares mean, which is the back-transformed least squares mean from the analysis of variance (ANOVA) linear fixed-effect model performed on natural log-transformed values of AUC0-∞. This calculation also provides the associated 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: For participants with: normal renal function - up to 48 hours post-dose (Part 1 + Part 2); moderate renal insufficiency - up to Day 28 (Part 1) or Day 10 (Part 2); severe renal insufficiency - up to Day 35 (Part 1) or Day 14 (Part 2)

  2. Geometric Least Squares Mean Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Measurable Concentration (AUC0-last) Following a Single IV Dose of Sugammadex

    Plasma samples for determination of sugammadex pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained pre-dose and at specified post-dose time points. AUC0-last was determined by trapezoidal method. The reported least squares mean is the geometric least squares mean, which is the back-transformed least squares mean from the ANOVA linear fixed-effect model performed on natural log-transformed values of AUC0-last. This calculation also provides the associated 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: For participants with: normal renal function - up to 48 hours post-dose (Part 1 + Part 2); moderate renal insufficiency - up to Day 28 (Part 1) or Day 10 (Part 2); severe renal insufficiency - up to Day 35 (Part 1) or Day 14 (Part 2)

  3. Geometric Least Squares Mean Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) Following a Single IV Dose of Sugammadex

    Plasma samples for determination of sugammadex pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained pre-dose and at specified post-dose time points. Cmax was determined from the observed plasma concentration-time data. The reported least squares mean is the geometric least squares mean, which is the back-transformed least squares mean from the ANOVA linear fixed-effect model performed on natural log-transformed values of Cmax. This calculation also provides the associated 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: For participants with: normal renal function - up to 48 hours post-dose (Part 1 + Part 2); moderate renal insufficiency - up to Day 28 (Part 1) or Day 10 (Part 2); severe renal insufficiency - up to Day 35 (Part 1) or Day 14 (Part 2)

  4. Geometric Mean Percent of AUC0-∞ That Was Extrapolated (AUC%Extrap) Following a Single IV Dose of Sugammadex

    Plasma samples for determination of sugammadex pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained pre-dose and at specified post-dose time points. AUC%extrap represents the percentage of the AUC0-∞ obtained by extrapolation, calculated as (1 - [AUC0-last/AUC0-∞]) multiplied by 100.

    Measured: For participants with: normal renal function - up to 48 hours post-dose (Part 1 + Part 2); moderate renal insufficiency - up to Day 28 (Part 1) or Day 10 (Part 2); severe renal insufficiency - up to Day 35 (Part 1) or Day 14 (Part 2)

  5. Geometric Mean Total Clearance (CL) Following a Single IV Dose of Sugammadex

    Plasma samples for determination of sugammadex pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained pre-dose and at specified post-dose time points. CL is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the body, calculated as Dose/AUC0-∞.

    Measured: For participants with: normal renal function - up to 48 hours post-dose (Part 1 + Part 2); moderate renal insufficiency - up to Day 28 (Part 1) or Day 10 (Part 2); severe renal insufficiency - up to Day 35 (Part 1) or Day 14 (Part 2)

  6. Geometric Mean Volume of Distribution During the Terminal Elimination Phase (Vz) Following a Single IV Dose of Sugammadex

    Plasma samples for determination of sugammadex pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained pre-dose and at specified post-dose time points. Vz was calculated as Dose/(AUC0-∞*λz).

    Measured: For participants with: normal renal function - up to 48 hours post-dose (Part 1 + Part 2); moderate renal insufficiency - up to Day 28 (Part 1) or Day 10 (Part 2); severe renal insufficiency - up to Day 35 (Part 1) or Day 14 (Part 2)

  7. Geometric Mean of Mean Residence Time (MRT) of Unchanged Drug in the Systemic Circulation Following a Single IV Dose of Sugammadex

    Plasma samples for determination of sugammadex pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained pre-dose and at specified post-dose time points. MRT is defined as the mean duration of time a drug molecule is present in the systemic circulation.

    Measured: For participants with: normal renal function - up to 48 hours post-dose (Part 1 + Part 2); moderate renal insufficiency - up to Day 28 (Part 1) or Day 10 (Part 2); severe renal insufficiency - up to Day 35 (Part 1) or Day 14 (Part 2)

  8. Geometric Mean Apparent Volume of Distribution Estimated at Steady-state (Vss) Following a Single IV Dose of Sugammadex

    Plasma samples for determination of sugammadex pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained pre-dose and at specified post-dose time points. Vss is the theoretical volume that the total amount of administered drug would have to occupy (if it were uniformly distributed), to provide the same concentration as it is in blood plasma at steady state, calculated as CL*MRT.

    Measured: For participants with: normal renal function - up to 48 hours post-dose (Part 1 + Part 2); moderate renal insufficiency - up to Day 28 (Part 1) or Day 10 (Part 2); severe renal insufficiency - up to Day 35 (Part 1) or Day 14 (Part 2)

  9. Median Time to Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) Following a Single IV Dose of Sugammadex

    Plasma samples for determination of sugammadex pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained pre-dose and at specified post-dose time points. Tmax was determined from the observed plasma concentration-time data.

  11. Geometric Mean Apparent First-order Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2) Following a Single IV Dose of Sugammadex

    Plasma samples for determination of sugammadex pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained pre-dose and at specified post-dose time points. Elimination t1/2 is the time it takes for the concentration of the drug in the body to decrease by half during the elimination phase, calculated as the natural log of 2 (ln[2])/λz.

    Measured: For participants with: normal renal function - up to 48 hours post-dose (Part 1 + Part 2); moderate renal insufficiency - up to Day 28 (Part 1) or Day 10 (Part 2); severe renal insufficiency - up to Day 35 (Part 1) or Day 14 (Part 2)

  12. Geometric Mean Effective Half-life (t1/2eff) Following a Single IV Dose of Sugammadex
