Kidney health may change how body handles cancer drug

NCT ID NCT05469100

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how the body processes the drug selpercatinib (LOXO-292) in people with different levels of kidney function. Researchers gave a single dose to 37 volunteers—some with healthy kidneys and some with kidney impairment—and measured drug levels in the blood and urine over 9 days. The goal was to see if kidney problems change how much drug stays in the body or how fast it is removed, which could guide future dosing recommendations.
