Study arms

  • Experimental
    Patients with Moderate Hepatic Insufficiency

    Patients with moderate hepatic insufficiency (a score of 7 to 9 on the Child-Pugh's scale) received a single 10 mg dose of ridaforolimus.

    Drug: ridaforolimus

  • Experimental
    Healthy Control Subjects

    Healthy control subjects were matched by race, age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) to the patients with moderate hepatic insufficiency. The healthy control subjects also received a single 10 mg dose of ridaforolimus.

    Drug: ridaforolimus

Interventions

  • Drugridaforolimus

    single oral dose administration 10 mg ridaforolimus
