Official title A Phase I Study to Investigate the Effect of Hepatic Impairment of AZD9550 and AZD6234
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07546760
What this study is testing
What is AZD6234?
AZD6234 is an investigational medicine, given as an injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for hepatic impairment.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study aims to find out how safe and tolerable AZD6234 and AZD9550 are in participants with hepatic impairment compared to participants with normal liver function.
- Who it's for
- Adults who have liver impairment or normal liver function are eligible.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive the study drugs and undergo safety monitoring, including medical exams and lab tests.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
Who can take part
