Study Summary

This trial will study how well a new drug works in people with different degrees of liver impairment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with varying degrees of liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh Classes A-C) and healthy controls matched by sex, race, age (+/- 10 years), and BMI (+/- 20%). Participants must not have liver cancer, be on a stable medication regimen, agree to use contraception and take antibiotics to prevent infection. Exclusions include fever or infection within 14 days before the study drug is given, recent blood donations or receipt of vaccines.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial studies how different levels of liver impairment affect the body's handling of ALXN2050. It aims to establish dosing guidelines for patients with impaired hepatic function. The study includes both those with liver issues and healthy individuals as controls to compare results.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, participants will receive prophylactic antibiotics which can cause digestive upset or allergic reactions in some people. As this is an investigational drug, monitoring for any unexpected side effects will be part of the trial process.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the current participant pool for this research initiative?

"Affirmative. Based on the records hosted by clinicaltrials.gov, this research project is still seeking participants for enrollment. This endeavor was first initiated on April 7th 2022 and underwent a recent update on May 11th 2022; 36 recruits are necessary from two different medical facilities."

Answered by AI

Are there any prerequisites for enrollment in this clinical trial?

"This clinical trial requires 36 individuals of ages 18 to 80 who are suffering from impaired hepatic function. To be considered for participation, potential participants must meet the following criteria: Use contraceptives that adhere to local regulations., Have a mild (Child-Pugh score ≥5 and ≤6), moderate (Child-Pugh score ≥7 and ≤9) or severe (Child-Pugh score ≥10 and ≤15) degree of IHF., Demonstrate cirrhosis due to chronic hepatitis c virus infection, chronic hepatitis b infection, cryptogenic issues, alcohol abuse or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis via biopsy results, imaging"

Answered by AI

Does this trial extend to geriatric populations?

"This study is looking for participants aged 18 to 80. There are 50 trials that focus on patients younger than 18 and 373 clinical studies specifically targeting seniors above the age of 65."

Answered by AI

Is this clinical experiment presently seeking participants?

"Affirmative. Details available on clinicaltrials.gov demonstrate that this experimental study, initially published on April 7th 2022, is in the recruitment phase for 36 patients from 2 different sites. The data was last updated on May 11th 2022."

Answered by AI
