Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is a phase I, multi-center, open-label, single oral dose, parallel group study to assess the PK and safety of MEK162 in subjects with impaired hepatic function and healthy subjects with normal hepatic function. Subjects will be assigned by hepatic function defined by elevation of serum total bilirubin and serum AST as determined at the screening and baseline visits. The study population will be healthy male and postmenopausal or sterile female subjects who meet all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. A minimum of 24 evaluable subjects (6 subjects per group) will be enrolled. The groups are: Group 1-healthy volunteers, Group 2-Mild hepatic impairment, Group 3-Moderate hepatic impairment and Group 4-Severe hepatic impairment. Once approved for enrollment, participants will be confined to the facility for 5 days, given a single dose of MEK162 and monitored for safety assessments, labs and PK will be assessed.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: MEK162

A minimum of 24 subjects (6 subjects per group) will be enrolled. Enrollment into Group 1 (control group with normal hepatic function) should be similar to the enrollment into Group 2, 3 and 4 with respect to age, gender, and body weight. Enrollment into Group 1 will remain open until the enrollment into the mild, moderate, and severe impairment groups are complete with matching controls for comparison. Serum level of total bilirubin and AST will be used to determine which group the hepatic impaired patient will be allocated l. Dosing of the different treatment groups will be staggered. Initially, 6 subjects in Group 1 (normal hepatic function) and 6 subjects in Group 2 will receive a single oral dose of MEK162 on Day 1.

Drug: MEK162

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. PK parameters assessed by Tmax [pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120]

    Blood pharmacokinetic samples will be collects at various timepoints to assess the MEK162 concentration levels. MEK162 concentrations and preliminary PK parameters will be analyzed in the two groups to determine if a dose adjustment is required in patients with moderate hepatic impairment

  2. PK parameters assessed by Cmax [pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120]

    Blood pharmacokinetic samples will be collects at various timepoints to assess the MEK162 concentration levels. MEK162 concentrations and preliminary PK parameters will be analyzed in the two groups to determine if a dose adjustment is required in patients with moderate hepatic impairment

  3. PK parameters assessed by AUCinf [pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120]

    Blood pharmacokinetic samples will be collects at various timepoints to assess the MEK162 concentration levels. MEK162 concentrations and preliminary PK parameters will be analyzed in the two groups to determine if a dose adjustment is required in patients with moderate hepatic impairment

  4. PK parameters assessed by AUC0last [pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120]

    Blood pharmacokinetic samples will be collects at various timepoints to assess the MEK162 concentration levels. MEK162 concentrations and preliminary PK parameters will be analyzed in the two groups to determine if a dose adjustment is required in patients with moderate hepatic impairment

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Relationship between PK parameters versus hepatic function laboratory parameters [Screening, Baseline, Day 2, Day 6 (Day of discharge)]

    To explore the relationship between hepatic liver function and PK. Pharmacokinetic parameters will be correlated to hepatic lab parameters.

  2. Number of subjects with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability [Screening, Baseline, Day 2, Day 6 (Day of discharge)]

    Adverse events based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade (severity) and frequency, and other safety data
