Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Participants will be allocated to one of three groups: mild hepatic impairment (HI), moderate HI, or healthy matched control. All participants will receive a single oral dose of bomedemstat on Day 1.
Healthy control participants will be enrolled after hepatic impairment participants have been dosed. Healthy control participants will be matched for the mean age and mean body-mass index (BMI) of all participants with HI (mild and moderate HI combined) and sex to each HI group separately.
