Liver trouble changes drug levels: vorolanib put to the test
NCT ID NCT07809802
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are studying how a single 200 mg dose of vorolanib, an experimental oral cancer drug, moves through the body in people with mild or moderate liver impairment compared with people whose livers work normally. The trial enrolls 36 participants split into three groups based on liver function. Everyone takes one dose after a standard breakfast, and researchers measure drug levels in the blood over time along with safety checks. The goal is to learn whether liver problems change how the drug is processed, which could guide safer dosing in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- vorolanib, an experimental oral cancer drug
- What this could lead to
- If the results show how liver impairment changes vorolanib levels in the body, doctors could adjust doses more safely for patients with liver problems.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small Phase 1 study with 36 participants and a single dose. It cannot show whether vorolanib works or is safe long term, and the findings may not apply to other drugs or to people with severe liver impairment.
