The main purpose of this study is to evaluate how much lepodisiran gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it when given as a subcutaneous (SC) injection under the skin to participants with mild, moderate, or severe liver function impairment compared to participants with normal liver function. The study will also evaluate how well lepodisiran is tolerated and what side effects may occur in these participants. The study will last up to approximately 9 weeks, excluding screening.
Phase 1 trials primarily test safety and dosing in a small number of participants (typically 20–100). Results do not yet speak to efficacy. FDA approval is typically many years away from this stage.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (54/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
