Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Healthy: Dalfampridine-ER 7.5 mg
Dalfampridine-ER 7.5 mg single and steady-state dosing in healthy volunteers
Drug: Dalfampridine-ER
2 days of single dose 7.5 mg, 4 days of bid dosing, and a 3 day follow-up

Active Comparator: Mild renal: Dalfampridine-ER 7.5 mg
Dalfampridine-ER 7.5 mg single and steady-state dosing in volunteers with mild renal impairment
Drug: Dalfampridine-ER
2 days of single dose 7.5 mg, 4 days of bid dosing, and a 3 day follow-up

Active Comparator: Moderate renal: Dalfampridine-ER 7.5 mg
Dalfampridine-ER 7.5 mg single and steady-state dosing in volunteers with moderate renal impairment
Drug: Dalfampridine-ER
2 days of single dose 7.5 mg, 4 days of bid dosing, and a 3 day follow-up




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The Steady State Area Under the Drug Concentration Time Curve From 0 to 12 Hours Post Dose AUC(0-12). [ Time Frame: 0 and 1,2,3,4,5,6,8, and 12 hours after the last dose ]
    AUC(0-12) was based on blood samples taken at specified outcome measure time frame for dalfampridine-ER 7.5 mg tablets in healthy adult volunteers and people with mild or moderate renal impairment.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. The Maximum Measured Plasma Concentration (Cmax) at Steady State, of Dalfampridine-ER 7.5 mg Tablets in Healthy Adult Volunteers and Those With Mild and Moderate Renal Impairment and Examine Between-group Differences. [ Time Frame: 7 days ]
  2. The Steady State Fractional Clearance, Calculated as the Dose / AUC(0-12) (CL/Fss) of Dalfampridine-ER 7.5 mg Tablets in Healthy Adult Volunteers and Those With Mild and Moderate Renal Impairment and Examine Between-group Differences. [ Time Frame: 7 days ]
