Elafibranor Pharmacokinetic Parameters in Hepatic Impaired Patients

This study is being conducted in order to assess the need for dose adjustment for elafibranor in patients with hepatic impairment. Pharmacokinetic parameters of elafibranor and its active metabolite (GFT1007) will be compared in hepatic impaired patients (mild, moderate and severe according to Child-Pugh categories) versus healthy participants after a single oral administration of elafibranor 120 mg.

3. Females participating in this study must be of non-childbearing potential or using highly efficient contraception for the full duration of the study

5. Negative human immunodeficiency virus antibody screens at Screening;

   * For hepatically impaired participants:
6. Participants who have chronic (≥ 6 months) mild, moderate, or severe hepatic insufficiency (of any etiology) that has been clinically stable (no acute episodes of illness due to deterioration in hepatic function) for at least 1 month prior to Screening Currently on a stable medication regimen

   * For healthy volunteers with normal hepatic function:
7. Non-smokers
8. Matched to participants with Mild and/or Moderate and/or Severe hepatic impairment in age (± 10 years), BMI (± 20 percent) and gender.

Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply

14. Participants with anemia secondary to hepatic disease, unless hemoglobin is ≥ 9 g/dL and anemia symptoms are not clinically significant. Subjects must have ≥ 35 000 platelets at screening and at Day -1;

    * For healthy volunteers with normal hepatic function:
15.

16. Positive serologic test for hepatitis B surface antigen or for hepatitis C virus antibody at Screening;
17. Frequent headaches (\> twice a month) and/or migraines, recurrent nausea and/or vomiting;
