Study to Evaluate the Effects of Hepatic Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics of Miricorilant

A Phase 1, Open-label, Single-dose, Adaptive Design Study to Evaluate the Effects of Hepatic Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics of Miricorilant

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Mar 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of miricorilant following a single oral dose by comparing participants with normal hepatic function with participants with moderate hepatic impairment with or without nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Clinically significant illness or surgery within 4 weeks prior to dosing.
  • Gastrointestinal surgery that interferes with physiological absorption and motility or gastric bands.
  • Clinically significant history or presence of any gastrointestinal pathology, or unresolved gastrointestinal symptoms that can interfere with drug absorption.
  • Acute viral hepatitis in the 6 calendar months before the administration of the study drug.
  • History of significant drug abuse within 1 year prior to screening or recreational use of soft drugs within 1 month or hard drugs within 3 months prior to screening, unless for hepatic impaired participants only, the participants uses any of these drugs as prescriptions.
  • History of significant alcohol abuse within six months prior to screening or regular use of alcohol within six months prior to the screening visit.
  • Donation of plasma within 7 days prior to dosing. Donation or loss of blood of 50 mL to 499 mL of blood within 30 days, or more than 499 mL within 56 days prior to the dosing.
  • Previous participation in a study with miricorilant administration.
  • Participated in a clinical research study involving the administration of an investigational or marketed drug or device within 30 days prior to dosing.
  • Participants who have taken oral, parenteral, depot or intra-articular glucocorticoids within 12 months prior to study drug administration; or intranasal, topical, or inhaled glucocorticoids within 2 weeks prior to study drug administration.
  • Previously documented parenchymal hepatic disease evidenced by, for example, ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or biopsy.
  • Participants using medication other than topical products without significant systemic absorption.
  • Positive drug screen at screening
  • Use of prohibited concomitant medication
  • Weight loss of \> 5% total body weight within 3 months prior to screening.

Other illness

  • History of suicidal tendency, disposition to seizures, state of confusion, or clinically relevant psychiatric diseases.
  • Any medical condition that could be aggravated by glucocorticoid antagonism, and/or mineralocorticoid antagonism, such as autoimmune disease, rheumatic disease, hypotension, or postural hypotension.
  • Positive to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) test at screening

  • Inability to be venipunctured and/or tolerate catheter venous access.
    • Additional Exclusion Criteria for Healthy Group (No Hepatic Impairment) Participants Only:
  • Participants with a positive urine drug screen at screening.
    • Additional Exclusion Criteria for Participants with Hepatic Impairment Only:
  • Clinically significant unstable medical conditions or clinically significant acute exacerbation of hepatic disease within 30 days of study drug administration

  • Presence of clinically significant history of lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis
  • Type 1 or uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes
  • Positive test for HIV
  • History or clinical evidence of hepatic decompensation or other severe liver impairment.
  • History of liver transplant, or current placement on a liver transplant list.
  • For moderate hepatic impairment participants with NASH, a history or clinical evidence of chronic liver diseases other than nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Lab values

  • Any clinically significant abnormality at physical examination, clinically significant abnormal laboratory test results or positive test for HBsAg, HCV, or HIV at screening;
  • Clinically significant abnormalities of laboratory, ECG, or clinical data that would preclude participation in the study

Other
