About this trial

This is a multi-center, two-part study; Part A and Part B. Part A of the study is an open-label, single-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation of 100 mg RVX000222 on dialysis and non-dialysis days in eight (8) End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients who receive hemodialysis as standard of care.

Part B of the study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study in up to thirty six (36) ESRD patients receiving hemodialysis using a sequential cross-over design with RVX000222 at a daily oral dose of 100 mg b.i.d. (200 mg per day) or matching placebo in combination with SoC.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate if treatment with RVX000222 in combination with standard of care (SoC) decreases plasma alkaline phosphatase in comparison to placebo and SoC.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Percent change in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) concentration (Part B)

The primary endpoint of the study is the comparison of the RVX000222 treatment period to the placebo period in the percent change in ALP concentration. Percent change is computed relative to the beginning of each period.

Time frame
Percent change is computed relative to the beginning of each period (6 weeks)
2

Single Dose Cmax of RVX000222 (apabetalone) and the Metabolites RVX000288 and RVX000404

Primary PK comparison between dialysis (test) and non-dialysis (reference) days for Cmax of RVX000222 and its two principal metabolites, RVX000288 and RVX000404

Time frame
48 hours
3

Single Dose AUC of RVX000222 (apabetalone) and the Metabolites RVX000288 and RVX000404

Primary PK comparison between dialysis (test) and non-dialysis (reference) days for AUC of RVX000222 and its two principal metabolites, RVX000288 and RVX000404

Time frame
48 hours

Secondary outcomes

1

Changes in high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP)

Changes in hsCRP in dialysis patients at the end of the RVX000222 treatment period relative to the end of the placebo period

Time frame
6 weeks
2

Changes in Interleukin-13 (IL-13)

Changes in IL-13 in dialysis patients at the end of the RVX000222 treatment period relative to the end of the placebo period

Time frame

Time frame
6 weeks
4

Changes in Interleukin-8 (IL-8)

Changes in IL-8 in dialysis patients at the end of the RVX000222 treatment period relative to the end of the placebo period

Time frame
6 weeks
