Summary

This study tests how the experimental weight-loss drug petrelintide is processed in people with mild to moderate liver impairment compared to those with healthy livers. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood after a single injection. The goal is to see if liver problems change how the drug behaves, which could guide future dosing recommendations.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Petrelintide (ZP8396)
What this could lead to
If petrelintide behaves similarly in people with liver issues, it may be safe to use in a broader population for weight management.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase, small study (36 people) focused on drug processing, not on weight loss or safety. Results may not predict real-world outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria: All participants: 1. Sex: male and female participants. 2. Body mass index (BMI): 18.5 to 40.0 kg/m\^2, inclusive, at screening. Additional Inclusion Criteria for Participants with Normal Hepatic Function 3. Participants who are considered healthy as determined by medical history, physical examination, and other screening procedures, with clinically normal hepatic function at screening.. 4. Clinical laboratory test results within normal reference range for the population, or results with acceptable deviations that are judged not to be clinically significant by the Investigator. Additional Inclusion Criteria for Participants with Hepatic Impairment 5. Participants with stable HI for at least 3 months, classified as Child-Pugh Grade A, B, or C as assessed by the Investigator. 6. Participants should be otherwise judged to be in acceptable health (type 2 diabetes mellitus \[T2DM\] is allowed) in the opinion of the Investigator based on a medical evaluation (including a physical examination, medical history, electrocardiogram \[ECG\], vital signs, concomitant medication and the results of laboratory safety tests) performed during the screening visit. 7. Participants with T2DM may be enrolled if they have/are: a. Hemoglobin A1c ≤11% at screening b. On a stable regimen for at least 8 weeks prior to screening, defined as: stable diet and exercise program, and/or, stable dose of metformin, and/or, stable dose of a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor. Exclusion Criteria: All participants: 1. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to the IMP or related products. 2.
