Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing new drugs VIR-2218 and VIR-3434, either alone or together, in people with liver damage. The goal is to see how these drugs move through the body and if they are safe for patients with liver problems.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

If you are a healthy participant, you must stop taking any prescription or over-the-counter medications (except vitamins and hormonal contraceptives) 30 days before the study. If you have liver impairment, you need to be on a stable dose and regimen of your current medications.

Eligibility Criteria

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.

Inclusion Criteria

Healthy matched participants must, in the opinion of the Investigator, be in good health based upon medical history, vital signs, physical examination, and screening laboratory evaluations
My liver is not working well, but I am healthy enough for the study according to my doctor.
CPT score of 5 to 6 for mild HI at screening

Treatment Details

Interventions

  • VIR-2218 (Antisense Oligonucleotide)
  • VIR-3434 (Antisense Oligonucleotide)
Trial OverviewThe 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.
