Daprodustat Hepatic Impairment Study

Daprodustat (GSK1278863), is a small molecule currently in development for the treatment of anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Results of the earlier studies shows that liver is involved in the clearance of Daprodustat and hence, hepatic impairment can affect Daprodustat levels in the body. This single dose study will assess the effect of liver impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of daprodustat. The study will be conducted in two parts, Part 1 will include subjects with moderate hepatic impairment and matched healthy control subjects whereas Part 2 will include subjects will either mild or severe hepatic impairment and matched healthy control subjects. Approximately 8 subjects will be included in each of the group and all subjects will receive 6 milligram (mg) of daprodustat as a single oral dose in the fasted state. Total duration of participation in the study for a subject will be up to 7 weeks.
