What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new treatment called pevifoscorvir sodium (ALG-000184) for individuals with liver problems. Researchers aim to observe how the drug behaves in the body when taken by people with moderate liver impairment compared to those without liver issues. Participants in one group have stable liver issues due to long-term liver disease, while the other group has no liver problems. The trial seeks to gather information that could improve treatment options for liver conditions. Individuals with stable liver disease for at least three months or those without liver issues might be suitable for this study. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the chance to be among the first to receive this new treatment.

Is there any evidence suggesting that pevifoscorvir sodium is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that pevifoscorvir sodium has promising safety results from earlier studies. In one study, healthy participants tolerated pevifoscorvir sodium well, experiencing no serious side effects. The medicine appeared safe and did not cause major problems.

While this trial is still in its early stages, previous testing in humans suggested the treatment is generally safe. Participants reported few negative side effects, providing some confidence that the treatment is well-tolerated. However, it's important to remember that early trials focus on safety, so new information may emerge as more people participate.12345

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

Pevifoscorvir Sodium is unique because it offers a potential new approach to treating liver impairment by using its novel active ingredient, ALG-000184. Unlike standard treatments, such as antiviral medications or lifestyle changes that focus mainly on managing symptoms and preventing progression, Pevifoscorvir Sodium directly targets the virus involved in liver damage. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it could provide a more direct and potentially faster way to address the root cause of liver impairment, improving patient outcomes.

What evidence suggests that pevifoscorvir sodium might be an effective treatment for liver impairment?

Research has shown that pevifoscorvir sodium is generally safe and well-tolerated. Participants in previous studies took doses up to 300 mg for extended periods without liver harm. This trial will evaluate pevifoscorvir sodium in two groups: subjects with hepatic impairment and those without, both receiving single oral doses of 100 mg. The drug targets the virus's protective shell, potentially stopping the virus from multiplying. Early results indicate that the body absorbs and processes the drug well. These encouraging findings suggest that pevifoscorvir sodium could effectively treat liver-related conditions.12346

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults with moderate liver problems (hepatic impairment) and healthy adults with normal liver function. They should match in age, weight, and possibly sex. People can't join if they have other significant health issues or conditions that could interfere with the drug's effects or their participation.
