Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of oral eleclazine and its metabolite, GS-623134, in participants with normal and impaired hepatic function. Participants in the healthy control group will be matched to participants with impaired hepatic function by age (± 5 years), gender, and body mass index (± 10%).

Inclusion criteria

All participants: * Be a nonsmoker or consume \< 20 cigarettes per day * Have a calculated body mass index (BMI) from 18 to 36 kg/m\^2, inclusive, at study screening * Have a creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 60 mL/min (using the Cockcroft-Gault method) based on serum creatinine and actual body weight as measured at screening * Have either a normal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) or one with abnormalities that are considered clinically insignificant by the investigator * Screening labs within defined thresholds Participants with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment must also meet the following additional inclusion criteria: * Must have diagnosis of chronic (\> 6 months), stable hepatic impairment with no clinically significant changes within 3 months (90 days) prior to study drug administration (Day 1) * Individuals with severe hepatic impairment must have a score on the Child-Pugh-Turcotte scale of 10-15 at screening. If an individual's score changes during the course of the study, the score at screening will be used for classification. * Individuals with moderate hepatic impairment must have a score on the Child-Pugh-Turcotte scale of 7-9 at screening. If an individual's score changes during the course of the study, the score at Screening will be used for classification. * Individuals with mild hepatic impairment must have a score on the Child-Pugh-Turcotte scale of 5-6 at screening. If an individual's score changes during the course of the study, the score at screening will be used for classification.

Exclusion criteria
