Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with BMI 18.5–40 kg/m2 who have obesity or overweight; either with normal liver function or stable hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A, B, or C).
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with severe comorbidities or unstable hepatic function beyond study criteria may not benefit from the findings for their own care.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter study to compare the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of a single subcutaneous dose of petrelintide in adults with normal hepatic function and in adults with hepatic impairment (mild, moderate, or severe, defined by Child-Pugh). Participants will be assigned to groups based on liver function and receive one SC dose on Day 1. Up to 18 participants with normal function and 18 with hepatic impairment (6 per impairment level) will be enrolled. The trial aims to see if liver function affects how the drug moves and is processed in the body, with safety monitoring throughout.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the data could inform dosing considerations and safety for petrelintide in people with liver impairment.
How similar studies have gone: Prior Phase 1 PK studies in similar compounds have shown liver function can influence drug exposure, but this study directly characterizes petrelintide in HI populations.

Inclusion Criteria: All participants: 1. Sex: male and female participants. 2. Body mass index (BMI): 18.5 to 40.0 kg/m\^2, inclusive, at screening. Additional Inclusion Criteria for Participants with Normal Hepatic Function 3. Participants who are considered healthy as determined by medical history, physical examination, and other screening procedures, with clinically normal hepatic function at screening.. 4. Clinical laboratory test results within normal reference range for the population, or results with acceptable deviations that are judged not to be clinically significant by the Investigator. Additional Inclusion Criteria for Participants with Hepatic Impairment 5. Participants with stable HI for at least 3 months, classified as Child-Pugh Grade A, B, or C as assessed by the Investigator. 6. Participants should be otherwise judged to be in acceptable health (type 2 diabetes mellitus \[T2DM\] is allowed) in the opinion of the Investigator based on a medical evaluation (including a physical examination, medical history, electrocardiogram \[ECG\], vital signs, concomitant medication and the results of laboratory safety tests) performed during the screening visit. 7. Participants with T2DM may be enrolled if they have/are: a. Hemoglobin A1c ≤11% at screening b. On a stable regimen for at least 8 weeks prior to screening, defined as: stable diet and exercise program, and/or, stable dose of metformin, and/or, stable dose of a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor. Exclusion Criteria: All participants: 1. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to the IMP or related products. 2. Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of child-bearing potential and not using a highly effective contraceptive method.
