Decision brief · what the records say, not our assessment
A Drug-Drug Interaction Study to Estimate the Effect of PF-07081532 on the Pharmacokinetics of Dabigatran and Rosuvastatin in Overweight or Obese Adult Participants
NCT05788328 · Pfizer · PHASE1 · terminated · Open Targets disease: cirrhosis of liver · Why it stopped
Six questions a reader deciding whether to spend more time on this asks, each answered with flags: yes, no, or not published (hatched), each with its rule and source record. Flags are never added up into a score or a verdict, because published success rates disagree by a factor of two and more.
1. Is the biology right?
- Somatic driver evidence: no · None of F2, HMGCR has somatic-mutation evidence in cirrhosis of liverRule: Open Targets has somatic-mutation evidence for the target in this cancer. Source: Open Targets: F2 in cirrhosis of liver, 2026-11-12
