P-1231. A Phase 1 Open-label, Parallel-group, Single-dose Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Obeldesivir in Participants with Normal Renal Function and Renal Impairment

TL;DR

This study evaluated how kidney function affects the safety and drug levels of Obeldesivir, an antiviral drug, in people with varying degrees of kidney impairment.

Contribution

The study is the first to characterize the pharmacokinetics of Obeldesivir in participants with different levels of renal impairment.

Findings

Plasma levels of GS-441524 increased with worsening kidney function.

Renal clearance of GS-441524 decreased as baseline kidney function worsened.

Obeldesivir was generally safe and well tolerated across all groups.

Abstract

Obeldesivir (ODV) is an ester prodrug of GS-441524 with potential antiviral activity against multiple respiratory viruses. Following oral administration, ODV is extensively hydrolyzed presystemically to GS-441524, which is primarily eliminated through renal clearance. Renal clearance of GS-441524 has previously been characterized following administration of remdesivir, but not ODV.

This was an open-label, Phase 1 study to evaluate the PK, safety, and tolerability of a single dose of ODV in participants with renal impairment (RI) relative to matched control participants with normal renal function. Participants with RI at baseline were enrolled into 3 cohorts based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated by the 2021 CKD-EPI creatinine equation: mild RI (60 ≤ eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2), moderate RI (30 ≤ eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2), and severe RI (15 ≤ eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2). Participants with mild or moderate RI and their matched controls received 1 dose of ODV 350 mg and participants with severe RI and their matched controls received 1 dose of ODV 175 mg. Intensive plasma and urine PK sampling occurred relative to the dosing of ODV for up to 120 hours and 72 hours, respectively. PK parameters were estimated for all participants and all renal function groups using Phoenix WinNonlin® software and standard noncompartmental methods. Treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) and laboratory abnormalities were assessed.

Following single doses of ODV 350 mg or 175 mg, GS-441524 plasma exposures increased approximately 2-fold in moderate RI and approximately 4-fold in severe RI (Table 1). Renal clearance of GS-441524 decreased as baseline renal function decreased (Table 2). All AEs and most laboratory abnormalities were either Grade 1 or 2 in severity among all cohorts. No deaths, AEs leading to discontinuation from study drug or study, or Grade 3 or higher AEs were reported. None of the laboratory abnormalities were considered clinically significant.

Plasma exposures of the ODV circulating metabolite GS-441524 increased as baseline renal function decreased, and renal clearance decreased with greater severity of baseline RI. Single doses of ODV were generally safe and well tolerated in participants with RI and in healthy matched control participants.
