Summary

This trial looks at how well a drug works and its safety in people with liver problems vs. healthy people.

Who is the study for?
This study is for people with different levels of liver disease, including fatty liver and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Participants will either have impaired liver function or be healthy volunteers for comparison.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Efinopegdutide to see how the drug behaves in the body (its pharmacokinetics) when given to people with varying degrees of liver health compared to those who are healthy.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed, the trial will monitor how safe and tolerable Efinopegdutide is, which means they'll look out for any negative reactions participants might have.
