A Clinical Trial of ALE.F02 in Patients With Advanced Liver Fibrosis and/or With Mild Cirrhosis

A Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Randomised Phase 1b Study of the Pharmacokinetics of ALE.F02 in Patients With Advanced Liver Fibrosis and/or With Mild Cirrhosis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how a human body processes ALE.F02 (pharmacokinetics profile) in patients with impaired liver function.

Principal Inclusion Criteria:

• Have an ELF Score of at least 9.5 but no more than 13
• Have stable hepatic impairment, defined as no clinically significant change in disease status, and no previous liver cirrhosis decompensation episodes
• Body weight within the range of 50.0 kg to 140.0 kg
• Clinical frailty score <6

Principal Exclusion Criteria:

• Child-Pugh score ≥7, as determined at screening
• MELD score ≥12, as determined at screening
• Estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min per the CKD-EPI creatinine-cystatin C equation
• Current or history of HCC
• Be suffering from or have symptoms of an acute or chronic infection
• Have active hepatitis C infection
• Other causes of liver disease including, but not limited to, hepatitis B, autoimmune disorders drug-induced hepatotoxicity, Wilson's disease, iron overload, and alpha-1-antitryspin deficiency, based on medical history review.
• Is a woman of childbearing potential
