Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of liposomal mifamurtide in adult volunteers with mild or moderate renal impairment.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics following a single dose of liposomal mifamurtide (L-MTP-PE, MEPACT(®)) in adult subjects with mild (calculated creatinine clearance [CLcr ] of 50-80 ml min(-1)) or moderate (CLcr 30-50 ml min(-1)) renal impairment in comparison with age-, weight- and gender-matched healthy subjects with normal renal function (CLcr >80 ml min(-1)).

Methods

Subjects received a 4 mg dose of liposomal mifamurtide via 1 h intravenous infusion. Blood samples were collected over 72 h for analysis of plasma pharmacokinetics of total and non-liposome-associated (free) mifamurtide and assessment of pharmacodynamics (changes in serum interleukin-6 [IL-6], tumour necrosis factor-α [TNF-α], C-reactive protein [CRP]).
