Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of MK-8189 in participants with moderate hepatic impairment (based on the Child-Pugh classification) to healthy participants. This is Part 1 of the study; following review of the safety and PK data from Part 1, a decision will be made as to whether Part 2 of the study will be initiated. If done, Part 2 of the study will compare the PK of MK-8189 in participants with mild hepatic impairment to healthy participants.
