Vorolanib PK study in people with liver impairment

Official title: Phase I Clinical Study to Compare and Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Orally Administered Vorolanib Tablets in Participants With Mild (Child-Pugh A) or Moderate (Child-Pugh B) Hepatic Impairment and Participants With Normal Hepatic Function

Run by Betta Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. · NCT07809802 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests how vorolanib behaves in the body after a single dose in people with mild or moderate liver impairment and compares it to people with normal liver function.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with mild or moderate hepatic impairment or normal liver function who consent and meet inclusion criteria, including weight and age matching.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe hepatic impairment or significant comorbidities not described in the criteria may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a single-center, non-randomized, open-label study in healthy volunteers and participants with hepatic impairment. It uses a parallel-group design to assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of a 200 mg oral dose of vorolanib given after a standard breakfast. The study enrolls 24 adults split into three groups: mild hepatic impairment, moderate hepatic impairment, and normal hepatic function, with PK blood samples and safety monitoring collected around dosing. The aim is to understand how hepatic impairment affects vorolanib exposure and tolerability.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, results may help tailor dosing for patients with liver impairment to improve safety and effectiveness.

How similar studies have gone: Prior PK studies have explored drug exposure changes with hepatic impairment; this study builds on that approach with vorolanib.
