Kidney function may change how antibiotic levornidazole acts in the body
NCT ID NCT07033182
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how a single dose of the antibiotic levornidazole is processed by the body in people with moderate or severe kidney impairment compared to healthy volunteers. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood and urine, and monitor safety. The goal is to understand whether kidney function affects how the drug is cleared, which could guide 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
- levornidazole disodium phosphate
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors determine safe dosing of levornidazole for patients with kidney impairment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study focused on drug processing, not on treating infections. Results may not apply to real-world use.
