研究概览
简要总结
This is a single-center clinical research study with the purpose to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of nalbuphine HCl ER (extended release) tablets in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) therapy and reporting pruritus.
详细描述
The PK of nalbuphine hemodialysis (HD) patients is unknown and will be investigated under controlled dialysis conditions in the proposed clinical PK study.
Nalbuphine is a small molecular weight, water-soluble molecule with low protein binding (approximately 50%) and a large volume of distribution. In addition, its disposition is perfusion-rate limited. In the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on HD, nalbuphine plasma clearance may be impacted, although it is predominantly hepatically cleared in the feces.
A dose-escalation design was selected to mimic nalbuphine use in uremic pruritus (UP) patients in subsequent clinical efficacy studies whereby patients will start at a low dose to minimize the AEs such as nausea and vomiting and allow the patients to develop some tolerance to these particular AEs.

结局指标
主要结局
Steady state PK of nalbuphine HCl ER tablets as a function of dose
时间窗: Day -1 to 14 Cohort 1 Groups 1-3 and Cohort 2; Day -1 to 17 Cohort 1 Group 4
Steady state PK of nalbuphine HCl ER tablets following escalating repeated oral doses in ESRD patients receiving HD therapy relative to healthy subjects
Extent of extraction of nalbuphine by measuring nalbuphine in plasma and dialysate during dialysis
时间窗: Day -1 to 14 Cohort 1 Groups 1-3; Day -1 to 17 Cohort 1 Group 4
Extraction by dialysis was assessed by measuring nalbuphine concentrations in plasma during dialysis obtained from arterial (pre-dialyzer) and venous access ports (post-dialyzer) and by measuring the amount removed in the dialysate during dialysis in the dialysate as a function of dose.
次要结局
- VAS measurement of anti-pruritic effects(Day -1 to 19-21 Cohort 1 Groups 1-3; Day -1 to 22-24 Cohort 1 Group 4)
