This study is an open-label, multi-center, single-dose, parallel group study to determine the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of cobimetinib administered at 10 mg to fasted male and female adult subjects with varying degrees of hepatic function. The study will be conducted based on the Child-Pugh classification of hepatic impairment. The anticipated duration of the study is 7.5 weeks. The target sample sizes are: 18 volunteers with varying degrees of hepatic function and up to 12 healthy control volunteers.

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
Time frame: Pre-dose (0 hours [hrs]), 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 144, 216, 264, 336, 456, and 576 hrs post-dose
Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax)
Time frame: Pre-dose (0 hrs), 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 144, 216, 264, 336, 456, and 576 hrs post-dose
Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration [AUC (0-t)]
AUC (0-t) was defined as area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to time of last quantifiable concentration (0-t).
Time frame: Pre-dose (0 hrs), 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 144, 216, 264, 336, 456, and 576 hrs post-dose
Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Extrapolated Infinite Time [AUC (0 - ∞)]
AUC (0 - ∞) was defined as AUC from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0 - ∞). It is obtained from AUC (0 - t) plus AUC (t- ∞).
Time frame: Pre-dose (0 hrs), 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 144, 216, 264, 336, 456, and 576 hrs post-dose
Extrapolated Area Under the Curve (AUC Percent [%] Extrapolated)
AUC% extrapolated was defined as the percentage of AUC \[0-∞\] obtained by forward extrapolation. It is calculated as \[AUC (0-∞) minus AUC(0-t\]\*100/ AUC (0-∞), where AUC \[0-∞\] = Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0-∞) and AUC(0-t) is area under the plasma concentration time-curve from zero (pre-dose) to the last measured concentration.
Time frame: Pre-dose (0 hrs), 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 144, 216, 264, 336, 456, and 576 hrs post-dose
Apparent Terminal Elimination Rate Constant (λZ)
λZ was defined as the magnitude of the slope of the linear regression of the log concentration versus time profile during the terminal phase.

Time frame: Pre-dose (0 hrs), 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 144, 216, 264, 336, 456, and 576 hrs post-dose
Plasma Decay Half-Life (t1/2)
Plasma decay half-life is the time measured for the plasma concentration of cobimetinib to decrease by one half.
Time frame: Pre-dose (0 hrs), 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 144, 216, 264, 336, 456, and 576 hrs post-dose
Apparent Oral Clearance (CL/F)
Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.
Time frame: Pre-dose (0 hrs), 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 144, 216, 264, 336, 456, and 576 hrs post-dose
Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F)
Volume of distribution was defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired plasma concentration of a drug. Vz/F after the oral dose is influenced by the fraction absorbed.
Time frame: Pre-dose (0 hrs), 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 144, 216, 264, 336, 456, and 576 hrs post-dose
