An effect of moderate hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics and safety of darapladib.

ABSTRACT:

Aim/methods

This was a phase 1, open label, non-randomized study designed to assess the pharmacokinetics and safety/tolerability of 10 consecutive once daily 40 mg oral doses of darapladib in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (n = 12) compared with matched healthy volunteers (n = 12).

Results

For total darapladib, a small increase in total and peak exposure was observed in the subjects with moderate hepatic impairment compared with the subjects with normal hepatic function.
