Pharmacokinetics and Safety of the Novel Selective Progesterone Receptor Modulator Vilaprisan in Participants With Renal Impairment.

This open label, parallel-group study investigated the pharmacokinetics and safety of a single oral 2-mg dose of the novel selective progesterone receptor modulator vilaprisan in participants with impaired renal function compared with age, weight, sex, and race matched controls with normal renal function. Systemic exposure (area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC]) and maximum observed concentrations (C _max ) were compared among 9 participants with moderate renal impairment and matched controls by ANOVA. An additional 4 participants, each with severe renal impairment or normal renal function, contributed to a linear regression analysis exploring any monotone relationship between individual variables and the estimated glomerular filtration rate. The geometric mean AUC was increased by a factor of 1.35 in renally impaired participants compared to normal controls (not statistically significant: least squares mean, 1.346; 90% confidence interval, 0.918-1.973). C _max was similar in participants with moderate renal impairment and normal renal function (least squares mean, 1.026; 90% confidence interval, 0.779-1.351). Considering the overall variability, there was no correlation between renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate) and C _max or AUC of vilaprisan. Single oral administration of vilaprisan 2 mg was well tolerated by all participants, both men and women and irrespective of renal function. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was similar across all groups. Results from this study do not indicate that a dose adjustment will be necessary for vilaprisan when treating patients up to moderate renal impairment.
