Severe Hepatic Impairment Normal Hepatic Function | Drug: enzalutamide | Phase 1 |
Screening takes place between Day -22 and Day -2, and subjects are admitted to the clinic on Day -1. Each subject receives a single oral dose of enzalutamide on Day 1, under fasted conditions. They are discharged on Day 7; ambulant visits take place until Day 50. An End of Study Visit (ESV) occurs 7-10 days after the last PK sampling or early withdrawal.
Full PK profiles are obtained for enzalutamide, metabolite 1 of enzalutamide (M1) and metabolite 2 of enzalutamide (M2) up to 1176 hours (Day 50) after administration.
Safety assessments are performed throughout the study. For subjects with severe hepatic impairment, additional Child-Pugh classification and laboratory safety tests (including liver function tests) are performed regularly after administration.
