• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2016-03-05
• Target enrollment: 0

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the single-dose pharmacokinetics of ASP2215 in subjects with mild and moderate hepatic impairment to matched healthy subjects with normal hepatic function.

This study will also assess the safety and tolerability of single-dose ASP2215 in subjects with mild and moderate hepatic impairment and matched control subjects.

• Subject has a known or suspected hypersensitivity to ASP2215, or any components of the formulation used.

• Subject has any clinically significant history of allergic conditions (including drug allergies, asthma, eczema, or anaphylactic reactions, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies prior to study drug administration).

If the mean blood pressure exceeds the limits above, 1 additional triplicate can be taken.
