Study Summary
This trial is testing a new drug for people with liver cirrhosis to see how it is metabolized in different degrees of impaired hepatic function compared to people with normal hepatic function.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-70 with liver cirrhosis or impairment, stable health, and a BMI of 18.5-40 kg/m2. They must have a CPT score indicating mild to severe hepatic impairment but can't be on certain medications, have unstable heart conditions, active infections like HIV/HBV/HCV/HDV/HEV (with some exceptions), recent variceal bleeding, or be listed for liver transplantation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effects of single doses of VIR-2218 up to 200 mg SC or VIR-3434 at 300 mg SC alone or in combination on people with different levels of liver function as classified by the Child-Pugh-Turcotte score. It aims to understand how these drugs are processed by the body and their safety profile in those with hepatic issues.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, common ones related to similar treatments may include injection site reactions, fatigue, nausea, potential allergic responses and possibly changes in liver enzymes which will be closely monitored during the trial.

Other Research
RNA interference (RNAi) therapy, such as VIR-2218, works by targeting and degrading specific messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, thereby preventing the production of proteins that contribute to disease processes. This is particularly useful in liver diseases where the suppression of viral proteins or other pathogenic proteins can halt disease progression.
Monoclonal antibody therapy, like VIR-3434, involves the use of lab-engineered antibodies that specifically bind to target antigens, such as viral particles or abnormal cells, marking them for destruction by the immune system. These therapies are significant for liver disease patients as they offer targeted treatment options that can reduce viral load, minimize liver damage, and improve overall liver function with potentially fewer side effects compared to traditional treatments.
