Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety of ET-26 in Subjects with Mild to Moderate Renal Impairment
摘要
ET-26 is a novel etomidate analog with reduced adrenal suppression. This study evaluated its pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety in subjects with mild to moderate renal impairment.
MethodsIn this phase I trial, 24 subjects (normal renal function, mild renal impairment, moderate renal impairment; n = 8/group) received a single intravenous bolus ET-26 dose. PK parameters (Cmax, AUC0–∞, CL), urinary excretion, PD (time to unconsciousness, area under the curve [AUC] of the Bispectral Index [BIS]), and safety were assessed.
ResultsSystemic exposure (AUC0–∞) differed by < 16% between renal impairment and normal groups (geometric mean ratios: 84.70–86.85%). Cmax was ~ 46% lower in renal impairment groups, but PD responses were comparable. Renal clearance was minimal (CLr ≤ 0.0085 L/h; urinary excretion ≤ 0.02%) with no correlation between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and PK parameters. Safety profiles were similar across groups; mild myoclonus (25% per cohort) was the most common adverse event. No renal impairment-specific safety concerns emerged.
ConclusionMild-to-moderate renal impairment minimally affects ET-26 exposure or efficacy due to predominant non-renal elimination. No dosage adjustment is needed for ET-26 0.8 mg/kg in these patients. However, patients with severe renal impairment or those receiving dialysis were not studied, and dedicated investigations are required before extrapolating dosing recommendations to these populations.
