New drug tested in patients with liver disease: safety first
NCT ID NCT04534699
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage study looked at how the drug KBP-5074 behaves in people with moderate liver impairment compared to healthy volunteers. Twelve adults received a single dose, and researchers monitored safety and drug levels in the blood. The goal was to see if liver problems change how the drug is processed, which is important for future dosing recommendations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors understand how to safely dose KBP-5074 in patients with liver problems.
