Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Eligible individuals will be male and nonpregnant, nonlactating females, aged 18 to 70 years (inclusive), body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 36 kg/m\^2 (inclusive), with either impaired hepatic function or normal hepatic function. * Individuals will be current nonsmokers (no use of tobacco, nicotine-containing, or tetrahydrocannabinol \[THC\]-containing products within the last 14 days). * Individuals with hepatic impairment will be categorized by the Child-Pugh-Turcotte (CPT) classification system indicating hepatic impairment as follows: * Class A (mild): CPT score 5-6 * Class B (moderate): CPT score 7-9 * Class C (severe): CPT score 10-15 * Hepatic impairment must have been stable during the 3 months (90 days) prior to study drug. Each individual in the control group will be matched to a individual with impaired hepatic function by age (± 10 years), gender, and body mass index (± 15%). Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Participants were enrolled at study sites in Germany, New Zealand, and United States. The first participant was screened on 03 April 2018. The last study visit occurred on 09 August 2018.

Pre-assignment details

38 participants were screened. Per protocol, participants in adaptive Cohort 2 (severe hepatic impairment) and Cohort 3 (mild hepatic impairment) were not enrolled following review of safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) data from participants in Cohort 1 (moderate hepatic impairment).

Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: AUClast of Filgotinib

AUClast is defined as the concentration of drug from time zero to the last observable concentration.

Time frame: Predose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours postdose on Day 1

Population: The PK Analysis Set included all enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of filgotinib and had at least 1 nonmissing postdose concentration value of filgotinib or its primary metabolite GS-829845 reported by the PK laboratory.
