BI 1584862 for Liver Failure
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial examines how the body processes a medicine called BI 1584862, a potential new drug, in individuals with varying levels of liver problems. It includes participants with mild, moderate, and severe liver issues, as well as those without liver problems for comparison. The trial suits both individuals living with liver problems and healthy participants. Participants will visit the study site three times over approximately five weeks, including a four-night stay for close health monitoring. As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive this new treatment, aiding researchers in understanding its effects in people.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial does not specify that you need to stop taking your current medications. In fact, participants with liver problems may continue their regular treatment during the study.
Is there any evidence suggesting that BI 1584862 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that BI 1584862 is being tested to assess its safety and how it moves through the body in individuals with varying liver health. As this is an early-stage study, limited information exists about its safety in humans. Early trials primarily focus on evaluating safety and determining the correct dosage. Thus, only partial safety information is available at this stage.
Participants in this study will receive close monitoring. Doctors will regularly assess their health and watch for any side effects. This careful monitoring helps identify potential issues quickly. While these early trials are crucial for understanding how well the treatment is tolerated, further research is necessary to fully comprehend its safety.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for liver failure?
Unlike the standard treatments for liver failure, which often focus on managing symptoms or the underlying causes such as alcohol use or hepatitis, BI 1584862 is unique because it targets the liver's function directly. Researchers are excited about BI 1584862 because it could offer a new mechanism of action that enhances liver function in patients with varying degrees of hepatic impairment. This approach might provide a more direct and potentially faster way to improve liver health compared to existing therapies.
What evidence suggests that BI 1584862 might be an effective treatment for liver failure?
Research is investigating BI 1584862 as a potential treatment for liver failure. This trial will examine BI 1584862 in participants with varying levels of hepatic impairment—mild, moderate, and severe—as well as those with normal hepatic function. Early studies focus on how the drug is absorbed and processed in individuals with different levels of liver issues. Limited data exists on its effectiveness for liver failure, but researchers are studying it closely to determine its potential benefits. The aim is for BI 1584862 to offer a new way to support liver function in the future.12467
