This is a Phase 1, single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the safety, PK, and tolerability of a repeated (3 times weekly) dose of difelikefalin administered as IV bolus injections to adult Chinese HD subjects. Treatment period is one week and there is a safety follow-up period of 1 week.
This is a Phase 1, single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the safety, PK, and tolerability of a repeated (3 times weekly) dose of difelikefalin administered as IV bolus injections to adult Chinese HD subjects. Total study duration for a single subject is up to 5 weeks including a screening period of up to 3 weeks, a treatment period of 1 week, and a safety follow-up period of 1 week. The duration of PK sampling is 12 days. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the PK profile of a repeated (3 times weekly) dose of difelikefalin in Chinese HD subjects over a 1-week treatment period.

Evaluation of the PK Profile of Difelikefalin - Cmax - Dose 1
Cmax = Maximum (peak) observed plasma concentration
Time frame: 1 week
Evaluation of the PK Profile of Difelikefalin - Tmax - Dose 1
Tmax = Time to reach maximum observed plasma concentration
Time frame: 1 week
Evaluation of the PK Profile of Difelikefalin - AUC0-t - Dose 1
AUC0-t = Area under the concentration-versus-time curve (AUC) from time zero to time "t"
Time frame: 1 week
AUCinf - Dose 1
AUCinf = AUC from time zero to infinity
Time frame: 1 week
AUCextrap(%) - Dose 1
AUCextrap(%) = percentage of AUCinf based on extrapolation
Time frame: 1 week
t½ - Dose 1
t½ = elimination half-life
Time frame: 1 week
Clearance - Dose 1
Clearance = the volume of blood or plasma that can be freed of a specified constituent in a specified time by its excretion into the urine through the kidneys
Time frame: 1 week
Vz - Dose 1
Vz = volume of distribution
Time frame: 1 week
Evaluation of the PK Profile of Difelikefalin - Cmax - Dose 3
