What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for kidney failure include medications like ACE inhibitors (e.g., enalapril), ARBs (e.g., valsartan), and diuretics, as well as dialysis and kidney transplantation. Known side effects of these treatments can include hyperkalemia, hypotension, dizziness, and increased risk of infections. Specific to medications, ACE inhibitors and ARBs can cause cough, elevated potassium levels, and kidney function deterioration in some cases. Diuretics may lead to electrolyte imbalances and dehydration. Dialysis can result in complications such as infections, low blood pressure, and muscle cramps. Kidney transplantation carries risks of rejection and infections due to immunosuppressive therapy.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

Several drugs have been approved by the FDA for conditions that require careful consideration of renal function. Remifentanil, an opioid analgesic, has been studied for its altered pharmacokinetics in patients with end-stage renal failure. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as sorafenib and sunitinib, used in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma, have also been evaluated for their safety and efficacy in patients with renal impairment, including those on hemodialysis. These studies help inform dosing and safety guidelines for patients with compromised kidney function.

What other types of research exist?

Promising alternatives to LY3819469 for kidney failure patients include BIIB023, an anti-TWEAK monoclonal antibody, which has shown potential for treating lupus nephritis, and TC-5214, a nicotinic channel modulator, which has been studied for its pharmacokinetics in patients with impaired renal function. Both drugs have demonstrated target engagement and safety in clinical trials.

Summary

This trial tests a new medication called LY3819469. It aims to see how much of the drug gets into the blood and how quickly it is removed in people with kidney problems compared to those without. The study will also check if the drug is safe and well-tolerated.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with varying levels of kidney function, from normal to severe impairment or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on stable hemodialysis. Participants must have a BMI between 19.0 and 42.0 kg/m² and use contraception if necessary. Those with significant health conditions, ECG abnormalities, low hemoglobin/anemia symptoms, allergies to LY3819469, or recent participation in similar trials are excluded.

What is being tested?

The study tests LY3819469's effects on individuals with different kidney functions by measuring how much drug enters the bloodstream and how quickly it's eliminated. The trial will also monitor safety and tolerability over up to 17 weeks including screening.

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects aren't listed here, the study aims to evaluate the general safety and tolerability of LY3819469 in participants which typically includes monitoring for any adverse reactions that may arise during the course.

Other Research

Common treatments for kidney failure, such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and immunosuppressants, work by reducing proteinuria and controlling blood pressure to slow the progression of kidney damage. The study of pharmacokinetics, like in the trial of LY3819469, is essential for understanding how these drugs are processed in patients with impaired renal function. This knowledge helps in adjusting dosages to ensure the medications are effective while minimizing the risk of toxicity, which is particularly important for maintaining the health and safety of kidney failure patients.
