- NOTE: Participants with previously treated Hepatitis B, who have had a non-detectable viral load for at least 6 months prior to Day 1, and are considered clinically stable by the Investigator, may be considered for study participation. If the participant is Hepatitis C reactive, they may be allowed in the study if the viral load is non-detectable per Hepatitis C RNA testing.

About this study
Official title: A Phase 1 Open-Label Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics of Mirdametinib and Its Metabolite PD-0315209 in Participants With Impaired Hepatic Function and Participants With Normal Hepatic Function
The purposes of this study are to determine:
- The pharmacokinetics (the amount of study drug in your blood and how long it takes the body to get rid of it) of the study drug and its metabolites (substances produced as the body breaks down the study drug) in participants with moderate or severe liver function impairment compared to participants with normal liver function (also known as a healthy volunteer). Pharmacokinetics (or PK) is the study of how your body absorbs, breaks down, and removes a study drug.
- How well the study drug is tolerated and any side effects that may occur in participants with moderate or severe liver function impairment compared to participants with normal liver function.
This study is for research purposes only and is not intended to treat any medical condition.
- Conditions
- Healthy, Hepatic Impairment
