Trial Summary
This clinical trial was done to study an approved medicine called, “entrectinib”, for the treatment of patients with certain types of cancers. This study was done to find out what happens to entrectinib in the body when it is given to people who have an unhealthy liver. Researchers also wanted to know if there was a relationship between the amount of entrectinib available in the body and the health status and function of the liver. Thirty-eight people took part in this study at three study centers in three countries. Some people had a healthy liver while others had an unhealthy liver.
