About
This is a multicentric, open-label, non-randomized study to evaluate the pharmacokinetic, safety and tolerability of ITF2357 in participants with chronic hepatic impairment relative to matched participants with normal hepatic function.
Full description
This study will evaluate the effect of mild and moderate hepatic impairment (HI) on the pharmacokinetics of ITF2357 and its metabolites.
The total number of participants to be enrolled in the study is 24 subjects:
- 8 Participants with mild HI (Child-Pugh class A)
- 8 Participants with moderate HI (Child-Pugh class B)
- 8 Participants with normal hepatic function (control group)
Each participant will go through:
- A screening period from Day (D)-28 to D-2
- One 6-day/5-night inpatient period (from D-1 evening to D5 morning)
- An end-of-study evaluation to be done on D10 (±1 day).

6. Laboratory parameters within the acceptable range for participants with HI; however, serum creatinine should be strictly below the upper laboratory range.
7. Female participants who are not pregnant or nursing at Screening and Day -1, or who are not planning to become pregnant during study period and until 4 weeks after the IMP administration.

9. Female participant of childbearing potential and male participant must agree to use an adequate and highly effective method of contraception (according to Clinical Trials Coordination Group [CTCG] recommendations) during the study and for at least 90 days after the study drug administration for women and for men.
