A Study of Efimosfermin Alfa in Adults With Hepatic Impairment

A Phase 1, Open-label, Single-dose Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Efimosfermin Alfa in Adults With Varying Degrees of Hepatic Impairment Due to Steatotic Liver Disease

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

This study is designed to study the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety profiles of a single dose of efimosfermin alfa in participants with varying degrees of Hepatic Impairment (HI) (assessed by Child-Pugh score) due to steatotic liver disease, with and without significant alcohol consumption.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Between 18 years and 70 years of age inclusive - Body Mass Index (BMI) within the range 23 - 40 kilogram per square meter (kg/m\^2) - Male or female participants - Participant has liver cirrhosis with a grade of hepatic impairment that can be classified as a discrete Child-Pugh class. Participants must: - Have a clinical diagnosis of liver cirrhosis in the participant's medical history corroborated by previous liver biopsy, medical imaging or compatible biochemical profile, and - Be classed during screening as one of the following Child-Pugh classes: - Child-Pugh B: Score 7-9 or - Child-Pugh C: Score 10-15 - Chronic (\>6 months) HI which is currently stable (no acute episodes of illness within the previous 1 month prior to Screening (Visit 1) due to deterioration in hepatic function). Participants must also remain stable throughout the Screening period. Assessment of the stability of the participant's hepatic function will be determined by the investigator. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - History of extrahepatic disorders possibly related to etiology of cirrhosis. - History of cryoglobulinemia. - Participants with Grade 3 - Participants with refractory encephalopathy or significant central nervous system disease - History of gastric or esophageal variceal bleeding within the past 6 months and for which varices have not been adequately - Other primary causes of liver disease Steatotic liver disease must be the primary cause of liver disease. - Clinically significant abnormalities affecting physical health in medical history, or on physical examination, that could interfere with or for which treatment could interfere with the conduct of the study, or that would, in the opinion of the investigator, pose an unacceptable risk to the participant in this study - Current, or history of known hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). - Participants with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
