About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of a single oral dose of ulonivirine in participants with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (HI). It is hypothesized that the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from dosing to (extrapolated) infinity (AUC0-∞) in participants with mild or moderate HI is similar to that of healthy control participants.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Has a diagnosis of chronic (>6 months), stable HI with features of cirrhosis due to any etiology (stability of hepatic disease should correspond to no acute episodes of illness within the previous 2 months due to deterioration in hepatic function)

Is in good health

Has a body mass index (BMI) ≥18.5 and ≤40 kg/m², inclusive

If male, uses contraception in accordance with local regulations

Disqualifiers

Has a history of any illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or poses an additional risk to the participant by their participation in the study

Is not in sufficient health

Is institutionalized/mentally or legally incapacitated

Is positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 or HIV-2

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve from Dosing to Infinity (AUC0-∞) of Ulonivirine

The AUC0-∞ of ulonivirine will be determined in participants with mild or moderate HI and healthy controls.

Time frame
Predose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 96, 120, 168, 240, 336, and 504 hours postdose
2

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve from Dosing to Last Measurable Concentration (AUC0-last) of Ulonivirine

The AUC0-last of ulonivirine will be determined in participants with mild or moderate HI and healthy controls.

Time frame
Predose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 96, 120, 168, 240, 336, and 504 hours postdose
3

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Ulonivirine

The Cmax of ulonivirine will be determined in participants with mild or moderate HI and healthy controls.

Time frame
Predose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 96, 120, 168, 240, 336, and 504 hours postdose
4

Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Ulonivirine

The Tmax of ulonivirine will be determined in participants with mild or moderate HI and healthy controls.

Time frame
Predose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 96, 120, 168, 240, 336, and 504 hours postdose

Secondary outcomes

1

Percentage of Participants with an Adverse Event (AE)

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

Time frame
Up to 21 days
