A Study to Evaluate Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Tegoprazan in Subjects With Hepatic Impairment and Healthy Controls

An Open-label, Multi-center, Single-dose, Parallel-group Study to Evaluate Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Tegoprazan in Subjects With Hepatic Impairment and Healthy Controls

The main purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic and safety of tegoprazan following single oral dose in subjects with hepatic impairment versus healthy control.

[Pharmacokinetic Assessment]

• Measurements

  - Tegoprazan and desmethyl tegoprazan (M1) in blood and urine

• Endpoints

  • Primary endpoints: AUClast and Cmax of tegoprazan and M1
  • Secondary endpoints: CL/F, t1/2, AUCinf, and fu of tegoprazan; CLrenal and Ae of tegoprazan and M1

[Safety Assessment]

• Adverse events (AEs)
• Clinical laboratory tests
• Vital sign
• Physical examination
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)

[Healthy Control Group]

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subjects aged 19 to 70(inclusive) years at the time of signing the informed consent form.
• Subjects with a body weight of ≥ 50 kg and ≤ 90 kg at screening.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subjects who show symptoms of acute disease at the time of screening.
• Subjects with any clinically significant disease related to ongoing cardiovascular problem, respiratory system, kidney, endocrine system, hematologic, central nervous system, mental health disorder, or malignant tumor.
• Subjects with history or current evidence of gastrointestinal or hepatobiliary disease which may affect PK evaluation of the IP.
• Subjects with history or current evidence of clinically significant hypersensitivity to drugs containing any ingredient of proton pump inhibitors or potassium-competitive acid blockers and other drugs (such as aspirin and antibiotics).
• Subjects with systolic blood pressure (BP) of < 90 mmHg or > 160 mmHg, or diastolic BP of < 50 mmHg or > 100 mmHg at screening.
• Subjects who have received medication or food which may significantly affect absorption, distribution, metabolism, or elimination of study drug within 7 days prior to scheduled study treatment.
• Subjects who have participated in any other clinical study or bioequivalence study and received investigational agent within 180 days prior to scheduled study treatment.
• Subjects who have donated whole blood within 60 days prior to the scheduled study treatment, or has donated blood components or received transfusion within 30 days prior to scheduled study treatment.
• Subjects who are unable to use a medically acceptable contraceptive method throughout the study.
• Subjects who are determined ineligible for study participation by the investigator for other reasons.
