Liver drug trial halted after just 3 patients
NCT ID NCT06987968
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a drug called VS-01 for people with severe confusion caused by liver disease (overt hepatic encephalopathy). The trial planned to enroll many participants but was stopped early after only 3 people joined. Researchers wanted to see if VS-01 could help patients recover faster when added to standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
VS-01
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new treatment for severe liver-related confusion (hepatic encephalopathy).
What could go wrong
The trial was terminated early with only 3 participants, so there is very little data. It is unclear if VS-01 is safe or effective.
