Liver function may affect how body handles new antifungal drug
NCT ID NCT05582187
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how a single dose of the antifungal drug fosmanogepix is processed in the bodies of 28 adults with varying degrees of liver impairment. Participants took one pill by mouth, and researchers measured drug levels in the blood over time. The goal was to see if liver function changes how the drug is absorbed and cleared, which could help guide safe dosing for patients with liver problems.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- fosmanogepix (a single oral dose)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors determine the right dose of fosmanogepix for patients with liver problems, making the drug safer and more effective.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study (28 people) focused on drug processing, not on treating a disease. Results may not apply to real-world use, and side effects are possible.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Body mass index (BMI) of 17.5 to 40.0 kg/m2 (42 kg/m2 for participants of Cohort 3), inclusive; and a total body weight greater than 50 kg (greater than 110 lb) * For participants with hepatic impairment (Cohorts 1-3, and Cohort 5): Stable hepatic impairment that meets the criteria for Class A, B, or C of the Child Pugh classification with no clinically significant change in disease status within the 28 days prior to the screening visit * For participants with normal hepatic function (Cohort 4): No clinically relevant abnormalities identified by a detailed medical history, full physical examination, including blood pressure and pulse rate measurement, 12-lead ECG and clinical laboratory tests * Stable concomitant medications for the management of individual participants' medical history Key Exclusion Criteria: * Any condition possibly affecting drug absorption (eg, prior bariatric surgery, gastrectomy, ileal resection); * Ongoing medical history of neurological disorders including abnormal movements or seizures (Note exception: stable history of peripheral neuropathy); * Hepatic carcinoma or hepatorenal syndrome or limited predicted life expectancy; * A diagnosis of hepatic dysfunction secondary to any acute ongoing hepatocellular process that is documented by medical history, physical examination, liver biopsy, hepatic ultrasound, computerized tomography scan, or MRI; * Signs of clinically active Grade 2, 3 or 4 hepatic encephalopathy (ie, equal or greater than Grade 2 Portal Systemic Encephalopathy score)
