Renal Impairment Does Not Affect Pharmacokinetics, Safety or Tolerability of Zenagamtide

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Pharmacokinetic study

Authors' conclusion

Renal impairment did not appear to have a clinically relevant impact on the PK or safety profile of zenagamtide

Study context

Population
Adults with BMI 20.0–39.9 kg/m², categorised by baseline renal status (CKD-EPI creatinine equation 2021); single SC dose of zenagamtide 0.3 mg, 4-week follow-up
Participants
42 adults
Comparison
Renal impairment vs normal renal function
  • Normal renal functionn = 14reference
  • Mild impairmentn = 7
  • Moderate impairmentn = 7
  • Severe impairmentn = 7
  • End-stage renal disease (ESRD)n = 7
Outcome
