Inclusion Criteria for Hepatically Impaired Subjects Only:

• Hepatically impaired subjects with creatinine clearance (CLcr) > 30 mL/min.

• A clinical diagnosis of hepatic cirrhosis based on biopsy and/or clinical criteria.

• Child-Pugh Class A (mild), B (moderate), or C (severe)

• Hepatically impaired subjects may be taking medications, which in the opinion of the clinical investigator and sponsor, are believed to be therapeutic for the subjects.

• Hepatically impaired subjects may have a history of or current hepatitis or be carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and/or hepatitis C antibodies (anti-HC).

Inclusion Criteria for Subjects with Normal Hepatic Function Only

• Must be in good health as determined by medical history, physical examination, ECG, serum/urine biochemistry, hematology, and serology tests.

• Normal renal function as evidenced by CLcr that is within 20% of normal for the age, sex, and weight of the individual.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subjects having taken an investigational drug within 30 days preceding study entry.

• Any history of significant bleeding or hemorrhagic tendencies. Subjects with a history of bleeding tendencies secondary to hepatic impairment will not be excluded.

• A history of difficulty in donating blood.

• The donation of blood or plasma within 30 days prior to dosing.

• Consumption of alcohol and/or food and beverages containing methylxanthines, grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, or Seville orange juice within 72 hours prior to dosing.

• Exposure to any substances known to stimulate hepatic microsomal enzymes within 30 days prior to Screening through the end of the study.

• Subjects who have supine, sitting, or standing blood pressure, after resting for ≥ 3 minutes, higher than 140/90 mmHg or lower than 100/50 mmHg.

• Subjects who have a supine pulse rate, after resting for ≥ 3 minutes, outside the range of 40 to 90 bpm.

• Previous exposure to OPC-34712.

• Subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Subjects with a QTcF interval ≥ 450 msec.

• Subjects with PT greater than 2 times control. Subjects with hepatic impairment with prolonged PT will be excluded based on the PI's discretion.

• Subjects with hepatic carcinoma or porto-hepatic shunts that have been surgically created or planted.

• Partial thromboplastin time > 70 seconds.

Exclusion Criteria for Hepatically Impaired Subjects Only:

• History of serious mental disorder including subjects who are pre-encephalopathic or encephalopathic as assessed by the Child-Pugh score and/or the PI's judgment.

• Major surgery of the digestive tract.

Exclusion Criteria for Subjects with Normal Hepatic Function Only:

• Clinically significant abnormality in past medical history.

• History of or current hepatitis, or carriers of HBsAg and/or anti-HC.

• Use of prescription, over-the-counter, herbal medication or vitamin supplements within 14 days prior to dosing and antibiotics within 30 days prior to dosing.
