Inclusion criteria

  • A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative serum (beta human chorionic gonadotropin [beta-HCG]) test at screening and on Day -1 of the treatment period
  • Contraceptive use by female participants or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the use of contraceptive methods for participant participating in clinical studies
  • If a woman, must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purposes of assisted reproduction during the study and for 30 days after receiving the study drug
  • A male participant must agree not to donate sperm for the purpose of reproduction from Day -1 of the study and for a minimum of 90 days after receiving the study drug
  • For participants with mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment: the participants must have a total Child-Pugh score of 5 to 6, inclusive (mild); or 7 to 9, inclusive (moderate); or 10-15, inclusive (severe). The Investigator will determine degree of hepatic impairment

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to JNJ-53718678 or its excipients
  • Donated blood or blood products or had substantial loss of blood (more than 500 milliliter [mL]) within 90 days before the administration of study drug or intention to donate blood or blood products during the study
  • Received an experimental drug (including investigational vaccines) or used an experimental medical device within 30 days or within a period less than 5 times the drug's half-life, whichever is longer, before the dose of the study drug is scheduled
  • Any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the participant or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments
  • Preplanned surgery or procedures that would interfere with the conduct of the study

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of JNJ-53718678

    Cmax is defined as the maximum plasma concentration of JNJ-53718678.

    Time frame: Predose, 15 minutes (min), 30 min, 1 hour (h), 1.5h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h, 16h, 24h, 36h, 48h, 72h and 96h postdose

  2. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast) of JNJ-53718678

    AUClast is defined as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of the last quantifiable concentration of JNJ-53718678.

    Time frame: Predose, 15 min, 30 min, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h, 16h, 24h, 36h, 48h, 72h and 96h postdose

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinite Time (AUC[0-infinity])

    AUC(0-infinity) is defined as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinite time calculated as the sum of AUClast and Clast/lz, in which Clast is the last observed quantifiable concentration.

    Time frame: Predose, 15 min, 30 min, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h, 16h, 24h, 36h, 48h, 72h and 96h postdose

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment.

    Time frame: From screening up to Day 14 (Up to 42 days)
