A Study Evaluating the of OPC-34712 in Subjects With Normal Hepatic Function and Hepatically Impaired Subjects

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc.45 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how much of the investigational product gets into the blood stream and how long the body takes to get rid of it when given to subjects with a range of liver impairment compared to subjects with normal liver function.

This is a multi-center, open-label, parallel-arm study in 1 group of subjects with normal hepatic function and 3 groups of subjects with varying degrees of hepatic impairment (mild, moderate, and severe). Subjects will be confined to the clinic from Day -1 to Day 8. Subjects will be contacted via telephone 30 days (+ 2 days) after the last dose of study medication to assess any new or ongoing AEs and to record concomitant medications. All groups will receive a single oral 2-mg OPC-34712 dose on Day 1 with 240 mL room temperature still water. Subjects will be administered the OPC-34712 dose in the fasted state (at least 8 hours of fasting) and no food will be allowed for 4 hours postdose.

Apparent Clearance of Brexpiprazole From Plasma After Extravascular Administration (CL/F)

The value of CL/F (brexpiprazole only) was determined as Dose/AUC∞. Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Clearance was estimated from population PK modeling. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.
