Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Dorzagliatin in Healthy Subjects and Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

ConclusionThe two-compartment linear pharmacokinetic model with zero- and first-order sequential absorption adequately described the pharmacokinetic characteristics of dorzagliatin. Body weight, aspartate aminotransferase, and age had a statistically significant effect on the CL/F of dorzagliatin. Body weight and sex had a statistically significant effect onVc/F. However, considering the clinically insignificant changes in the magnitude of steady-state exposure caused by these covariates, as well as the minimal changes in the steady-state exposure for individuals with mild and moderate impaired hepatic function and all stages of renal impairment, dose adjustments based on the tested covariates or for specific populations are deemed unnecessary.
