A Study to Evaluate ASP0367 in Participants With Mild/Moderate Hepatic Impairment Compared to Participants With Normal Hepatic Function

A Phase 1 Open-label Study to Evaluate the Effect of Mild and Moderate Hepatic Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of ASP0367 Compared to Participants With Normal Hepatic Function

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of ASP0367 in participants with mild and moderate hepatic impairment compared to healthy participants with normal hepatic function. The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of ASP0367 in participants with mild and moderate hepatic impairment compared to healthy participants with normal hepatic function.

The study will comprise of three groups based on hepatic function. Participants will be screened for up to 28 days prior to investigational product (IP) administration on Day 1. Eligible participants will be admitted to the clinical unit on Day -1 and will be residential for a single period of six days/five nights. On Day 1, participants will receive a single oral dose of ASP0367 under fasting conditions followed by a 96-hour in-house blood and urine sampling period. Participants are to remain semirecumbent for four hours postdose. Standard safety and tolerability assessments will be conducted. Participants will be discharged from the clinical unit on Day 5 on the condition that all required assessments have been performed and that there are no medical reasons for a longer stay in the clinical unit.

The study will be completed with an end-of-study visit (ESV). The ESV will take place five to nine days after the last pharmacokinetic sample is collected or at the time of early discontinuation from the study.
