Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The main aim of this study is to understand how moderate and severe liver impairment (based on the Child-Pugh classification) affects the body's processing of a single dose of 10 mg maximum of palovarotene, compared to healthy participants with normal liver function. The study will also assess the safety and tolerability of the single dose of palovarotene. Participants will be enrolled in stages and divided into three groups based on their liver function: * Group 1: Healthy participants with normal liver function * Group 2: Participants with moderate liver impairment * Group 3: Participants with severe liver impairment (only enrolled if Group 2 results are safe and acceptable) Blood samples will be taken to assess how the drug binds to proteins in the blood. Participants will undergo various safety checks and procedures. Participants will stay in the clinical unit until Day 5 for these assessments and will return on Day 10 for a final visit.

• Palovarotene (Retinoic Acid Receptor Agonist)

Trial Overview The study tests how a single dose of palovarotene (up to 10 mg) is processed by people with different levels of liver health. It's divided into three groups: one for those with normal liver function, another for moderate impairment, and a third for severe impairment if it's safe.

Participant Groups

Group I: Group 3 Severe Hepatic impaired participants Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Evaluation of the pharmacokinetics of IPN60120 in Severe Hepatic impaired participants (Child-Pugh class C)

Group II: Group 2 Moderate Hepatic impaired participants Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Evaluation of the pharmacokinetics of IPN60120 in Moderate Hepatic impaired participants (Child-Pugh class B)

Group III: Group 1 Healthy participants Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Evaluation of the pharmacokinetics of IPN60120 in control healthy participants matching the age, sex and weight with hepatic impaired participants
