About this trial
This 2-part study will evaluate PHIN-214 given as a single one-time dose (Part 1) and in multiple doses (given as daily doses for 28-days) (in Part 2). Specifically, this study evaluates PHIN-214, to determine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic effects of PHIN-214, and to establish the maximum tolerated dose or optimal beneficial dose in patients with Child Pugh A and B Cirrhosis.
