Brief summary

This is a multi-center, non-randomized, open-label, parallel group, multiple-dose study to assess the pharmacokinetic, safety, and tolerability of balovaptan in male and female subjects with moderate hepatic impairment compared to healthy subjects with normal hepatic function matched by age (±10 years), sex, and body mass index (BMI; ±20%).

Interventions

Participants will receive 1 tablet of balovaptan once daily (QD) on Days 1 through 14.

Inclusion criteria

for All Participants: * BMI between 18 and 40 kg/m2, inclusive. * Women of childbearing potential must either: agree to use one highly effective contraceptive method combined with a barrier method from Screening until 90 days after the last dose of study drug or practice true abstinence because of the subject's lifestyle choice; be in an exclusively same-sex relationship. * For men: agreement to use contraceptive measures * Females of child-bearing potential must refrain from donating ova from Day -1 until 90 days after the safety Follow-up visit. Males must refrain from donating sperm from Day -1 until 90 days after the safety Follow-up visit. Inclusion Criteria for Participants with Hepatic Impairment: * Stable, documented moderate liver disease diagnosed \>6 months and stable for at least 3 months prior to Screening. * Participants with moderate hepatic impairment may have medical findings consistent with their hepatic dysfunction. Participants with abnormal findings considered in line with underlying hepatic disease by the Investigator will be eligible. Inclusion Criteria for Healthy Participants: * Healthy status is defined by no clinically significant findings from medical and surgical history, a complete physical examination including vital signs, 12-lead ECG, hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis at Screening and/or Day -1 as assessed by the Investigator (or designee). Gilbert's syndrome is acceptable.

Exclusion criteria

for All Participants: * History of significant hypersensitivity, intolerance, or allergy to any drug compound, constituents or excipients of the study drug, food, or other substance, unless approved by the Investigator (or designee). * History of stomach or intestinal surgery or resection that would potentially alter absorption and/or excretion of orally administered drugs. * Evidence of hepatorenal syndrome and estimated creatinine clearance range \<60 mL/min or abnormal and clinically significant sodium and potassium levels, as determined by the Investigator (or designee). * Female subjects of childbearing potential with a positive serum pregnancy test at Screening and/or at admission (Day -1), or who are lactating. * History of drug/chemical abuse within 2 years prior to Screening; current active substance abuse will not be permitted. * Known personal or family history of congenital long QT syndrome or sudden unexplained death.
