Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment A: On Days -1, 7, 28, and 56, all subjects will receive iohexol
[1500-mg Iodine as 5 mL of a 300-mg iodine/mL solution], administered in the morning as an intravenous (IV) bolus over 1-2 minutes after completion of a standard meal.

On Days 1 through 28, subjects will be administered 18-mg [1 x 18--mg tablet] SEL selonsertib (SEL) once daily in the morning.

The investigator will maintain an accurate inventory of all study drug(s). Each dose of the study drug(s) administered at the study centre will be administered by qualified study centre staff. The dose of study drug(s) administered to subjects in the clinic under the supervision of staff will be accurately recorded, which indicates the date and quantity of each dosage formulation dispensed to individual subjects.
Used and unused study drug supplies, including empty containers, are to be returned to the shipping facility from which it came for destruction following drug accountability and drug inventory reconciliation.

The standard meals will ensure patients consume approximately <2g sodium for the day. There are no other specific requirements for these meals.

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
An Interactive Voice/Web Response System (IXRS) will be employed to manage subject
randomization and treatment assignments. It is the responsibility of the investigator to ensure that the subject is eligible for the study prior to enrollment. Subjects will be assigned a screening number at the time of consent.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomization to SEL or placebo will be based on a randomization schedule prepared by Gilead and/or a designee before the start of the study. Eligible subjects will be centrally randomized via an IXRS. Prior to randomization, eligible subjects will be stratified by baseline eGFR

Summary
Brief summary
In Phase 1 clinical studies of SEL, small, dose-dependent increases in serum creatinine with resulting decreases in calculated creatinine clearance have been observed. These changes
occurred early in the dosing period and were reversible upon cessation of study drug.

In the majority of subjects, calculated creatinine clearance values remained within the normal range despite the decreases observed following initiation of study drug. In a Phase 2 study of SEL in subjects with diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a dose-dependent, acute decrease in eGFR was observed in the first 4-weeks of treatment, which was similar in magnitude (percent change) as the decrease observed in Phase 1 studies of SEL in healthy subjects.

The objectives of this study are to further characterize the mechanism of decreased creatinine clearance and thereby the acute decrease in and reversibility of eGFR observed during SEL dosing in a population with renal impairment and to specifically determine whether SEL affects mGFR as determined by iohexol clearance, which is freely filtered at the glomerulus but does not undergo active renal tubular secretion or reabsorption.

The dose of SEL to be used in this study is 18-mg once daily for 28 days. SEL 18-mg was the highest dose of SEL evaluated in the dose-ranging Phase 2 study in DKD patients and is the
proposed dose to be evaluated in a planned Phase 3 study. Selection of this dose is based on safety, efficacy, and PK data from Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies, including 48 weeks of treatment in subjects with moderate to severe renal impairment.
