A Three-Part, Open-Label, Single-Dose Study to Investigate the Influence of Hepatic Insufficiency on the Pharmacokinetics of MK-8742
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of elbasvir
(MK-8742) after a single dose to participants with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic
insufficiency compared with healthy controls.

product (for healthy participants) or which cannot be discontinued at least 14 days or
5 times the half-life of the product (for hepatic insufficiency participants) before
study drug administration and throughout the study
