Single‐Dose Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Onradivir in Chinese Patients with Hepatic Impairment and Healthy Matched Controls.

This study compared the safety and pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of onradivir, an inhibitor of polymerase basic protein 2 in influenza A virus, in patients with hepatic impairment and healthy participants with normal hepatic function. Eight participants with mild hepatic impairment (Child‐Pugh A), eight participants with moderate hepatic impairment (Child‐Pugh B), and eight healthy matched controls were enrolled in this open‐label, parallel‐group clinical trial. After the administration of 600 mg of onradivir, pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated for each cohort and compared. Onradivir was generally well tolerated by all participants. No serious adverse events (AEs) and no deaths were reported during the study. Six patients with moderate hepatic impairment and three patients with mild hepatic impairment reported AEs, all of which were mild and quickly resolved. Compared with the normal liver function group, the maximum concentration, area under the curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration, and area under the curve from time zero to infinity were 103%, 68.5%, and 69.2% higher, respectively, in the mild hepatic impairment group. In the moderate hepatic impairment group, these increases were 101%, 197%, and 204%, respectively. Overall, there were clinically relevant differences in onradivir exposure between patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment and normal controls. These data imply that onradivir dose adjustment is warranted in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (CT.gov identifier: NCT05856513).
