NCT ID NCT05093972

First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study investigates how a single dose of the drug ulonivirine is processed by the body in people with mild or moderate liver impairment compared to healthy volunteers. Researchers measure drug levels in the blood over time to see if liver function affects how the drug is broken down and cleared. The goal is to understand whether dose adjustments may be needed for people with liver problems.
