Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of JNJ-56021927 in participants with mild and moderate hepatic impairment.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single-dose, single-center, non-randomized study of JNJ-56021927 in participants who either have hepatic impairment or qualify for the control group. The study consists of 3 Phases: Screening Phase (21 Days), open-label treatment Phase (8 Days) and follow up Phase (49 Days). The duration of participation in the study for each participant is approximately 78 Days. Primarily the pharmacokinetics of JNJ-56021927 will be measured. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.
