title: A single-dose pharmacokinetic study of lasofoxifene in healthy volunteers and subjects with mild and moderate hepatic impairment.
abstract: Lasofoxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator for osteoporosis management, is metabolized primarily by hepatic oxidation and conjugation. This study compared the pharmacokinetics of 0.25 mg lasofoxifene in subjects with mild (Child-Pugh grade A, n = 6) or moderate (Child-Pugh grade B, n = 6) hepatic impairment and healthy volunteers (n = 6). Analysis of variance was used to calculate 90% confidence intervals for the ratios (impaired/healthy) of least squares mean log maximum plasma concentration (C(max)) and area under the curve (AUC) values. Lasofoxifene pharmacokinetics was similar between healthy and mild hepatic impairment subjects: ratios of C(max) and AUC from 0 to infinity (AUC([0-infinity])) were 101% (75.0-138) and 95.5% (77.9-117), respectively. In subjects with moderate hepatic impairment, ratios of C(max) and AUC([0-infinity]) were 121% (89.6-165) and 138% (112-169), respectively; mean terminal half-life was 252 hr compared to 193 hr in healthy subjects. Dose adjustment should not be required for subjects with mild to moderate hepatic impairment.
