Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* A participant assigned female at birth is eligible to participate if not pregnant or breastfeeding, is not a participant of childbearing potential (POCBP), or is a POCBP and agrees to follow contraceptive guidance during the study intervention period and for at least 35 days after the last dose of study intervention.
* For participants with moderate or severe hepatic impairment: Have a diagnosis of chronic (\>6 months), stable, hepatic impairment with features of cirrhosis due to any etiology (stability of hepatic disease should correspond to no acute episodes of illness within the previous 2 months due to deterioration in hepatic function).

Exclusion Criteria

* History of cancer (malignancy).
* Had major surgery and/or donated or lost 1 unit of blood (approximately 500 mL) within 4 weeks prior to the prestudy (screening) visit.
* Participants with moderate or severe hepatic impairment who are positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 or HIV-2 at the prestudy (screening) visit.
* Participants with moderate or severe hepatic impairment who received antiviral and/or immune modulating therapy for hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) within 90 days prior to study start.
* Healthy participants who are unable to refrain from or anticipate the use of any medication, including prescription and nonprescription drugs or herbal remedies beginning approximately 2 weeks (or 5 half-lives) prior to administration of the initial dose of study intervention, throughout the study (including washout intervals between treatment periods), until the poststudy visit.
