16 participants in 2 patient groups

Subjects with moderate hepatic impairment
Experimental group
Description:
Subjects with moderate hepatic impairment as defined by a Child-Pugh score of 7-9 will be included. Subjects will be given GR270773 as a loading infusion of 25 milligram per kilogram per hour (mg/kg/hr) for 2 hours followed by a maintenance infusion of 5 mg/kg/hr for 70 hours.
Treatment:
Drug: Intravenous GR270773 - Phospholipid emulsion
Healthy subjects
Experimental group
Description:
Subjects will be matched as closely as possible to the group of moderate hepatic subjects for gender, age and body mass index (BMI). Subjects will be administered 25 mg/kg/hr GR270773 as a loading dose for 2 hours followed by a maintenance infusion of 5 mg/kg/hr for 70 hours. Following a washout period of 21 days, the subjects will then receive a loading dose of 75 mg/kg/hr for 2 hours followed by a maintenance dose of 12.5 mg/kg/hr of GR270773 for 70 hours.
