Further study details as provided by Cumberland Pharmaceuticals:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Pharmacokinetic profile (Cmax, Cmin, Vdss, T1/2, AUC 0-24, and AUC 0-inf) of ifetroban and ifetroban acylglucuronide [ Time Frame: 5 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    To evaluate the primary objective of determining the pharmacokinetic profile of multiple daily intravenous doses of ifetroban, the following endpoints will be measured:

    • Pharmacokinetic parameters, including serum concentration versus time profile of ifetroban and its major metabolite ifetroban acylglucuronide for the 24-hour period after the first dose, Cmax, Cmin, Vdss, T1/2, AUC 0-24 (area under the curve during 24 hours), and AUC 0-inf (area under the curve extrapolated to infinity), will be determined from analysis of collected blood samples.


  • Vital signs, clinical chemistry, urine electrolytes, coagulation/hematology assessments, treatment emergent adverse events, and Day 28 mortality of ifetroban injection in patients with HRS. [ Time Frame: 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

    To evaluate the primary objective of determining the tolerability and safety of ifetroban injection in patients with HRS, the following endpoints will be measured:

    • Vital signs (heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, temperature, pulse oximetry saturation)
    • Clinical chemistry, urine electrolytes, coagulation and hematology assessments
    • Treatment emergent adverse events
    • Day 28 mortality


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Serum creatinine, Creatinine clearance, BUN, urine output, estimated GFR, Urinary TxB2-M, and plasma F2-isoprostane levels of ifetroban injection in patients with HRS. [ Time Frame: Baseline and 5 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    To evaluate the secondary objective of evaluating the incidence and magnitude of renal function change relative to criteria for HRS reversal, the following endpoint will be measured:

    • Serum creatinine reduction below 1.5 mg/dL
    • Creatinine clearance improvement over baseline confirmed in two sequential measurements
    • BUN, urine output, estimated GFR, and dialysis requirement
    • Urinary TxB2-M and plasma F2-isoprostane levels

Detailed Description:

Ifetroban sodium (ifetroban) is an investigational drug that has been studied previously in healthy volunteers and patients with cardiovascular diseases. Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CPI) is developing ifetroban for treatment of type 1 and type 2 hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) and proposed to conduct a study in hospitalized adult patients with HRS to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of escalating doses of ifetroban. The primary objective of this study is as follows:

  • To determine the pharmacokinetic profile of multiple daily intravenous doses of ifetroban and its major metabolite ifetroban acylglucuronide.
  • To determine the tolerability and safety of ifetroban injection in patients with HRS.

The secondary objective of this study is as follows:

• To determine if ifetroban changes renal function, showing evidence of HRS reversal.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older

  3. Oliguria occurring within 48 hours prior to 1st administration CTM. Oliguria is defined as either of the following:

    • An average urine output of < 35 mL/hr measured for at least 4 hours, occurring with a measured central venous pressure (CVP) > 12 mmHg, OR
    • In the absence of CVP monitoring, oliguria that is not corrected by a fluid challenge of at least 20mL/kg isotonic crystalloid or comparable volume of colloid.
