Experimental drug aims to reverse liver damage in rare triple condition
NCT ID NCT07681089
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called foscenvivint in people with liver cirrhosis caused by HIV and hepatitis C co-infection who also have hemophilia. Participants receive the drug once a week for 24 weeks. Researchers will check if the drug improves liver function and is safe to use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- foscenvivint
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for liver cirrhosis in people with HIV/HCV co-infection and hemophilia.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early-phase trial with only 4 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug may not improve liver function or could cause side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with hemophilia and liver cirrhosis caused by HIV/HCV co-infection who meet both of the following criteria: 1. Patients who are serum HIV-RNA positive or HIV antibody positive, with HIV-RNA maintained at \<200 copies/mL and a CD4-positive T lymphocyte count of ≥200 cells/µL at screening. 2. Patients with HCV infection who have achieved sustained virologic response (SVR) at least 12 months before registration. * Patients with Child-Pugh class A or B liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh score 5-9). * Patients who meet at least one of the following criteria for the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis: <!-- --> 1. Liver stiffness measurement by FibroScan of ≥12.5 kPa, corresponding to fibrosis stage F4, at screening. 2. Abdominal CT showing changes in liver morphology and/or findings suggestive of portal hypertension. * Patients with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status of 0-2. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with liver cirrhosis caused by etiologies other than HCV or of unknown etiology. * Patients with esophageal or gastric varices judged by endoscopic examination at screening to require treatment. * Patients with current malignancy or a history of malignancy within 3 years before registration. * Patients who have undergone liver transplantation or other organ transplantation, including bone marrow transplantation. * Patients with active AIDS-defining disease requiring treatment. -
