Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–70 with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, or matched adults with normal liver function, who meet weight and BMI criteria (BMI 18–32, men ≥50 kg, women ≥45 kg) and can give informed consent are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
People with severe hepatic impairment, those outside the 18–70 age or weight/BMI ranges, pregnant individuals, or those seeking direct therapeutic benefit rather than PK information are unlikely to receive clinical benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This Phase 1 interventional trial gives adult participants HSK39297 tablets and compares pharmacokinetics, safety, and pharmacodynamic markers between groups with mild or moderate hepatic impairment and matched participants with normal liver function. Participants will be screened for age, weight, BMI, and baseline laboratory/diagnostic results, and the normal-function group will be matched by BMI to the impaired groups. Blood sampling and safety monitoring will be performed over the dosing and follow-up periods to characterize drug exposure and any adverse effects. The trial is conducted at Peking University First Hospital and follows standard PK/PD procedures for hepatic impairment studies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the results could define safer dosing or monitoring recommendations for people with liver impairment who may take HSK39297.
How similar studies have gone: PK and safety studies in hepatic impairment are a standard and successful approach for many drugs to guide dosing, but HSK39297 itself remains uncharacterized in this population.

4. Normal or abnormal physical examination, 12-ECG, vital signs, chest frontal and lateral radiographs/CT, abdominal ultrasound, and laboratory tests (blood routine, blood biochemistry, urine routine, coagulation function, etc.) in the screening and baseline periods were not clinically significant.
5. The demographic means of subjects in the normal liver function group (Group C) at screening must meet the following matching criteria:
1. BMI matched to the hepatic impairment group (Group A + Group B) with a mean value ± 15%;
2. Age-matched to the hepatic impairment group (Group A + Group B), mean ± 10 years;
3. Sex-matched to liver impairment group (Group A + Group B), mean value ± 1 case;
6. Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥75 mL/min/1.73m2 calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaborative Study Group (CKD-EPI) formula;
7. Subjects with childbearing potential must agree to have no plans for childbearing and voluntarily use highly effective contraception with their partner from the time of signing the ICF until 1 month after administration of the test drug, and to avoid sperm/egg donation. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at both screening and baseline and not be breastfeeding.
For subjects with hepatic impairment, the following inclusion criteria must also be met:
8. Not on medication within 4 weeks prior to screening, or have at least 4 weeks of stable medication for hepatic impairment and/or other co-morbidities requiring long-term treatment;
9. Child-Pugh classification of Class A or B (without the use of albumin within 14 days), which is chronic liver injury caused by previous primary liver diseases, including but not limited to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, viral hepatitis (hepatitis B, hepatitis C), etc.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Smoked an average of more than 5 cigarettes per day in the past 3 months or those who cannot comply with the prohibition of smoking during the trial;
