Study Summary

This trial will compare the effects of a study drug on bile acids, measure how much gets into the bloodstream, and check safety/tolerability in people with normal/impaired kidney function.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with normal or impaired kidney function who need treatment for Hepatitis D. They should have a stable BMI, no serious liver issues, and a stable heart condition if they have one. People can't join if they've used certain drugs recently, have HIV/HBsAg/HCV, are expected to need dialysis soon, or have uncontrolled blood pressure.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Bulevirtide (BLV) in participants with different levels of kidney health. It looks at how much BLV gets into the blood, its effect on bile acids, and how long it stays in the body. The safety of multiple doses will also be evaluated.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, the trial will monitor how safe and tolerable Bulevirtide is when given in multiple doses to individuals with varying degrees of kidney function.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Group A: Bulevirtide (BLV), Severe Renal Impaired ParticipantsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with severe renal impairment will receive BLV 2 mg once daily for 6 days. Following completion and evaluation of pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety data from all participants in Group A, additional participant groups (Groups B, C, and D) and BLV doses (2 mg or 10 mg) may be initiated.
Group II: Group A: BLV, Normal Renal Function (Matched Control Participants)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with normal renal function will receive BLV 2 mg once daily for 6 days. Following completion and evaluation of PK and safety data from all participants in Group A, additional participant groups (Groups B, C, and D) and BLV doses (2 mg or 10 mg) may be initiated.

"To be eligible for this research, participants must fulfill the age criteria of 18 to 79 years. There are 6 trials that cater exclusively to those under 18 and 168 specifically designed for patients over 65."

Answered by AI

Is there any vacancy for participants in the trial?

"The evidence accessible on clinicaltrials.gov suggests that this medical trial is no longer recruiting patients, although it was initially posted on March 1st 2023 and edited for the last time 24 days later. However, at present there are 175 other studies actively looking for volunteers to participate in them."

Answered by AI

Is Group A: BLV, Normal Renal Function (Matched Control Participants) safe for human consumption?

"Our team at Power analyses the safety of Group A: BLV, Normal Renal Function (Matched Control Participants) to be a 1 due to its phase 1 status. This is because there is limited data on both efficacy and safety."
