Brief summary
This compound, GR270773, is a lipid based compound being developed to treat Sepsis. Lipids are broken down in the body by the liver. This study is designed to see whether the effect of the drug in people with poorly functioning livers is any different to the effect on healthy adults.
Interventions
GR270773 (lipid emulsion) is a sterile, white to off-white, semi-translucent liquid for intravenous injection.

Exclusion criteria
* Lactating or pregnant females. * Subjects with BP \> 160/90. * Subjects who, within the past six months, have had a history of significant drug or alcohol abuse, or any indication of regular use of more than 14 units of alcohol per week for women, or 21 units/week for men.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Compare drug concentrations in the blood between patients with impaired liver function and normal healthy adults, after 72 hours. Determine whether administration of study drug alters the lipid make-up of healthy adults in any way. | Up to Day 16 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Determine drug concentrations in blood after 2 hour run-in period and after 72 hour infusion period. Determine whether administration of study drug alters the lipid make-up of patients with impaired liver function in any way. | Up to Day 16 |
