NCT ID NCT04534699

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage study looked at how the drug KBP-5074 behaves in people with moderate liver impairment compared to healthy volunteers. Twelve adults received a single dose, and researchers monitored safety and drug levels in the blood. The goal was to see if liver problems change how the drug is processed, which is important for future dosing recommendations.
