Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have symptoms caused by hormonal changes, like those that happen in women during menopause. These symptoms can include vasomotor symptoms. Before a treatment can be approved for patients to take, researchers do clinical studies to better understand its safety and what happens to the treatment in the body. The study drug, elinzanetant, was designed to treat vasomotor symptoms. The liver plays an important role in removing elinzanetant from the body. Therefore, this study is done to find out how reduced liver function influences the removal of elinzanetant. The study will include male and female participants who are 18 to 75 years old. One part of the participants will have mildly or moderately impaired hepatic function. For each group with impaired hepatic function, a group with normal hepatic function will be included. Blood and urine samples will be collected. The physician will also check the participants' heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG). The participants will answer questions about their well-being and taken medications. The researchers will compare the blood levels of elinzanetant in the participants with impaired hepatic function to those of the matched participants with normal hepatic function. This way, they can see how blood levels of elinzanetant are influenced by liver function. This information is important for giving recommendations on dosing in patients with impaired hepatic function.
