Powered by AI

Overview

The main aim of this study is to learn how the body processes fazirsiran (pharmacokinetics [PK]) in people with mild, moderate, or severe liver problems, compared to people with normal liver function.

The study will include participants with liver scarring (cirrhosis) and mild, moderate, or severe liver problems, and participants with normal liver function. All participants will be given 1 injection of fazirsiran and will be followed up for 6 months after the fazirsiran injection.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

Key Inclusion Criteria for All Participants

  • A 12-lead ECG at screening that, in the opinion of the investigator, has no abnormalities that compromise the participant's safety in this study.
  • No abnormal finding of clinical relevance at screening or before dosing that in the opinion of the investigator could adversely impact participant safety during the study or adversely impact study results.

Key Inclusion Criteria for Participants with Hepatic Impairment:

  • The participant is 18 to 75 years of age inclusive at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).

  • Diagnosis of chronic (example, imaging, biopsy, etc.) stable hepatic insufficiency for at least 3 months before screening with features of cirrhosis due to any etiology according to medical history. HI must be stable, that is, no significant changes in hepatic function or clinical status in the 30 days preceding screening (or since the last visit if within 3 months before screening) and with treatment with stable doses of medication.

        Key Exclusion Criteria for All Participants:
          -  The participant has uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure [BP] >170 mm Hg
             and diastolic BP >100 millimeter of mercury [mmHg] at screening). Participants may be
             rescreened once BP is successfully controlled.
          -  The participant has a history of torsades de pointes, ventricular rhythm disturbances
             (example, ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation), heart block (excluding
             first-degree block, being pulse rate [PR] interval prolongation only), congenital long
             QT syndrome or new ST segment elevation or depression or new Q wave on ECG.
             Participants with a history of atrial arrhythmias should be discussed with the medical
             monitor.
          -  The participant has symptomatic heart failure (per New York Heart Association
             guidelines) or severe heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (EF <20%), unstable
             angina, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, or cerebrovascular accident
             within 6 months before screening.
