Summary

This trial tests Nitazoxanide in adults with liver problems and healthy adults to see how the drug is processed in their bodies. Researchers want to understand if liver issues change how the medication works.

Eligible Conditions
  • Liver Damage
  • Liver Disease
  • Liver Impairment

Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary study objectives
AUC from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t)
Area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC) from time zero to 12h (AUC0-12)
Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax)
Secondary study objectives
Plasma and urine pharmacokinetics: After the single oral administration of NTZ 500 mg: Cmax, AUC0-12, AUC0-t, AUC0-∞ , Tmax, t1/2, %AUCextrap, Ae0-∞, Ae0-t and CLR.
Plasma pharmacokinetics: Tmax, AUC0-12, AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, Cmax, t1/2, %AUCextrap and Ctrough.
Plasma pharmacokinetics: time of the maximum observed plasma concentration (Tmax), apparent plasma terminal elimination half life (t1/2), AUC from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞), trough concentration (Ctrough) and percentage of extrapolated (%AUCextrap)
