New drug EDG-7500 put to the test in liver health study

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Participants with Mild and Moderate HI * With the exception of HI, history or presence of clinically significant medical or psychiatric condition or disease, or any illness that might confound the results of the study or poses an additional risk to the participant by their participation in the study. * History of severe complications of liver disease within the preceding 3 months of screening. * Primary biliary cholangitis or biliary obstruction at screening. * Fluctuating or rapidly deteriorating hepatic function from screening until prior to dosing. * History of liver or other solid organ transplantation. * Requires paracentesis more often than 2 times per month. * Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and/or has undergone portacaval shunting within 90 days prior to screening. * Received antiviral and/or immune modulating therapy for active hepatitis infection within 90 days prior to dosing. * Diabetic participants with HbA1c \> 8.5% at screening. * Positive for HBsAg or HBcAb and has positive hepatitis B virus DNA at screening. * Positive for HCV and has a detectable HCV viral load at screening. Participants with Normal Hepatic Function * History or presence of clinically significant medical or psychiatric condition or disease, or any illness that might confound the results of the study or poses an additional risk to the participant by their participation in the study. * Alcohol consumption \> 14 drinks per week for males (7 for females) within 45 days of screening. * Positive result for HBsAg or HCV at screening.
