New drug tested in people with liver disease – early safety check
NCT ID NCT07519135
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study is testing an investigational drug called PF-08653944 in 26 adults, some with healthy livers and others with mild to severe liver impairment. Researchers want to see how liver function affects the way the body processes the drug and whether it is safe. Participants receive a single injection and are monitored closely. The study is not expected to provide direct medical benefit but will guide future research.
