Safety and Diagnostic Efficacy of Mangoral in Participants With Focal Liver Lesions and Reduced Kidney Function (SPARKLE)

The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and diagnostic efficacy of Mangoral in liver MRI in participants with known or suspected focal liver lesions and severe renal impairment. The diagnostic efficacy of Mangoral will be assessed in terms of visualization of detected focal liver lesions in combined MRI (CMRI: combined Mangoral-enhanced and unenhanced MRI) compared to unenhanced MRI.

A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Difelikefalin Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease Patients With Moderate-to-Severe Pruritis

This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral difelikefalin administered as a 1 mg tablet once daily compared to placebo in reducing the intensity of itch in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with moderate-to-severe pruritus. This study is comprised of an Efficacy Assessment Phase and a Long-term Extension Phase. The Efficacy Assessment Phase includes a double-blind 12-week Treatment Period (Treatment Period 1), and the Long-term Extension Phase includes a double-blind Treatment Period (Treatment Period 2) of up to 52 weeks.
