Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria Nonsmoking, male or female, ≥18 years and ≤70 years of age at the time of informed consent, and with body mass index (BMI) of up to 40 kg/m2, inclusive. For Cohorts 1 and 2: stable mild or moderate hepatic impairment conforming to Child-Pugh class A or B, respectively, documented by medical history, physical examination and 1 or more of the following diagnostic procedures documented in the medical notes: liver biopsy, computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, radionuclide liver/spleen scan, or abdominal laparoscopy. Participants whose liver imaging was done more than 1 year ago or previous results were not available, should have a liver ultrasound scan to ensure that the liver structure is consistent with the diagnosis of hepatic impairment and that there are no exclusionary features. For Cohorts 1C and 2C: healthy participants matched to participants with mild or moderate hepatic impairment with regard to age (±10 years), body weight (±20%), and gender; and as determined by no clinically significant deviation from normal in medical history, physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory determinations. Exclusion Criteria For all Participants (Cohorts 1, 2, 1C, and 2C) Females participants who are breastfeeding or pregnant at Screening or Baseline (as documented by a positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [ß-hCG] test. A separate baseline assessment is required if a negative screening pregnancy test was obtained more than 72 hours before the dose of study drug. Females of childbearing potential who: Had unprotected sexual intercourse within 30 days before study entry and who do not agree to use a highly effective method of contraception (eg, total abstinence, an intrauterine device, a double-barrier method [such as condom plus diaphragm with spermicide], a contraceptive implant, an oral contraceptive, or have a vasectomized partner with confirmed azoospermia) throughout the entire study period or for 28 days after study drug discontinuation.
