Participant Flow

Subjects were enrolled into the following groups based on their hepatic function, as determined according to the Child-Pugh system. 38 subjects were dosed and completed the study in accordance with the protocol. All 38 subjects completed the study. There was only 1 treatment assignment for this trial, stratified by disease severity. Subjects were administered a single dose of belapectin (4 mg/kg LBM) intravenously on Day 1. The study was open label.

Measure
Group 1
14 matched healthy subjects with normal hepatic function. Healthy subjects with normal hepatic function (Group 1) were demographically matched by age (±10 years), sex, and body mass index (BMI ±20%) to subjects with hepatic impairment (Groups 2, 3, and 4). Subjects were administered a single dose of belapectin (4 mg/kg LBM) intravenously on Day 1.
Group 2
8 subjects with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A \[4 x subjects with a score of 5 and 4 x subjects with a score of 6\]). Subjects were administered a single dose of belapectin (4 mg/kg LBM) intravenously on Day 1.
Group 3
8 subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B \[score of 7 to 9\]). Subjects were administered a single dose of belapectin (4 mg/kg LBM) intravenously on Day 1.
Group 4
8 subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C \[score of 10 to 14\]). Subjects were administered a single dose of belapectin (4 mg/kg LBM) intravenously on Day 1.
