What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial aims to study the effects of pretomanid (PA-824) on individuals with varying levels of kidney function. Researchers seek to understand how the drug behaves in the body and assess its safety for those with kidney issues, including severe kidney failure, compared to individuals with normal kidney function. Participants will take a single dose of the drug, and researchers will monitor its presence in the blood and urine. The trial suits individuals with different kidney problems who are not on dialysis and do not smoke heavily. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the chance to be among the first to receive this new drug.

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, you cannot take strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors within 14 days before admission and during the study, and you should avoid St. John's Wort and grapefruit products before and during the study.

Is there any evidence suggesting that pretomanid is likely to be safe for humans?

Research shows that the safety of pretomanid for people with kidney problems remains unknown. No studies have yet assessed its safety or effectiveness for those with kidney issues. As a result, there is no clear information on how the drug affects individuals with kidney failure or other kidney-related problems.

This is an early phase study, aimed at understanding pretomanid’s safety and its mechanism in the body. Early phase trials typically mark the first step in testing a new treatment in humans. They help researchers determine if the treatment is safe and identify any side effects.

Pretomanid is approved for other uses but not for kidney failure. It has been tested and found safe for other conditions, but its safety for kidney problems is still under investigation. Participants in the trial will be closely monitored to observe how their bodies respond to the treatment. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for kidney failure?

Researchers are excited about pretomanid for kidney failure because it offers a potentially innovative approach compared to standard treatments like dialysis and kidney transplantation. Unlike these traditional methods, pretomanid is an oral medication, which could provide a less invasive and more convenient option for patients. Additionally, pretomanid might offer a new mechanism of action by targeting specific pathways involved in kidney function, potentially improving outcomes for those with renal impairment. This novel approach could lead to more effective management of kidney failure, providing hope for improved patient quality of life.

What evidence suggests that pretomanid might be an effective treatment for kidney failure?

Research shows that the effectiveness of pretomanid for people with kidney failure remains uncertain. Pretomanid treats certain types of tuberculosis, but its effects on individuals with varying kidney functions have not been extensively studied. This trial will explore its pharmacokinetics and safety across various treatment arms, including participants with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment, as well as healthy participants for comparison. Clear information on its effectiveness or safety for those with kidney issues is lacking. As this is a new research area, the trials aim to understand how the drug moves and works in the bodies of people with kidney problems. ^{1 2 4 6 7}

Doripenem, at a concentration of 5 mg/mL, demonstrated stability for up to 12 hours in 0.9% sodium chloride at room temperature, making it suitable for extended infusions.

The study confirmed that doripenem retains its potency and safety profile when prepared and stored properly, allowing for effective treatment of complicated infections within a practical time frame.

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) can be beneficial for patients with mild to moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially those who cannot tolerate vitamin K antagonists, but their use in patients with severe renal impairment remains challenging due to limited data.

DOACs are not approved for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or those on dialysis, and careful monitoring of renal function is crucial for patients with CKD to avoid complications, particularly in high-risk groups like the elderly and diabetics.

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) can be safely used in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who have an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) above 60 mL/min, offering greater efficacy and safety compared to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs).

In patients with CKD stage 3, DOACs are as effective as VKAs but have a lower risk of bleeding; however, their use should be avoided in patients with an eGFR below 30 mL/min due to increased bleeding risks.

In a study of eight patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis, the pharmacokinetics of panipenem/betamipron were evaluated, revealing that hemodialysis significantly increased the clearance of panipenem compared to patients not on dialysis.

The study recommends a dosing regimen of 500 mg/500 mg of panipenem/betamipron once daily for patients with end-stage renal disease, which is expected to provide similar clinical outcomes as in patients with normal kidney function.

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are generally safer and more effective than vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for most patients, but their safety and efficacy in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain uncertain due to the exclusion of these patients from major clinical trials.

Among DOACs, apixaban has the most research supporting its use in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and advanced CKD, but there is still a need for more studies to fully understand the risks and benefits of DOACs in this population.

Subcutaneous semaglutide (Ozempic®), a GLP-1 receptor agonist, has shown significant efficacy in improving glycemic control and reducing HbA1c, albuminuria, and blood pressure in patients with advanced diabetic kidney disease (DKD) during a 6-month follow-up study involving patients on maintenance hemodialysis.

The treatment not only aids in weight loss and appetite suppression but also helps preserve residual kidney function, potentially improving patient outcomes and facilitating their inclusion on kidney transplant waiting lists.

In a trial involving 10 patients undergoing intermittent renal replacement therapy, administering 1 g of doripenem posthemodialysis was found to maintain effective plasma levels in anuric patients, suggesting a potential for improved treatment compliance and cost-effectiveness.

Doripenem was generally well-tolerated, with only one patient experiencing an allergic reaction, indicating a favorable safety profile for this antibiotic in patients with septic episodes.

The use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) has significantly increased from 9.2% to 89.3% between 2013 and 2018, while warfarin use has declined, particularly in patients with mild to moderate CKD.

Patients with severe CKD and end-stage CKD/dialysis showed poor time in therapeutic range (TTR) on warfarin, with median TTR dropping to 70.0% and 67.5%, respectively, indicating challenges in managing anticoagulation in these populations.

In a pilot trial involving 45 patients with chronic renal insufficiency undergoing contrast angiography, fenoldopam mesylate significantly improved renal plasma flow (RPF) by 15.8% compared to a 33.2% decrease in the control group, suggesting its potential to protect kidney function during contrast use.

The incidence of radiocontrast nephropathy (RCN) was lower in the fenoldopam group (21%) compared to the control group (41%), indicating that fenoldopam may reduce the risk of acute kidney injury associated with contrast agents.

A comprehensive analysis of 921 plasma concentration data from 92 Japanese subjects revealed that doripenem pharmacokinetics can be effectively modeled using a two-compartment model, with creatinine clearance being the most significant factor affecting its clearance due to its renal excretion.
