A Clincal Study of Enlicitide and the Effect of Food in Healthy Adult Participants (MK-0616-033)

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Healthy
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06609512
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

The goal of the study is to learn what happens to enlicitide decanoate in a healthy person's body over time when taken on an empty stomach or with food. Researchers will compare what happens to enlicitide in a healthy person's body over time when enlicitide is taken with or without food. Enlicitide decanoate will be referred to as "enlicitide" throughout.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Area Under the Concentration versus Time Curve from 0 to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of enlicitide in plasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 168 hours post dose

AUC0-inf of enlicitide in plasma will be determined.

Area Under the Concentration versus Time Curve from Time 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24) of enlicitide in plasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 24 hours post dose

AUC0-24 of enlicitide in plasma will be determined.

Area under the concentration versus time curve from time 0 to last quantifiable sample (AUC0-last) of enlicitide in plasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 168 hours post dose

AUC0-last of enlicitide in plasma will be determined.

Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of enlicitide in plasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 168 hours post dose

Cmax of enlicitide in plasma will be determined.

Time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) of enlicitide in plasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 168 hours post dose

Tmax of enlicitide in plasma will be determined.

Apparent terminal half-life (t1/2) of enlicitide in plasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 168 hours post dose

t1/2 of enlicitide in plasma will be determined.

Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of enlicitide in plasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 168 hours post dose

CL/F of enlicitide in plasma will be determined.

Apparent volume of distribution during terminal phase (Vz/F) of enlicitide in plasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 168 hours post dose

Vz/F of enlicitide in plasma will be determined.

Lag Time (tlag) of enlicitide in plasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 168 hours post dose

tlag is the time from dosing to the first appearance in plasma. The tlag of enlicitide in plasma will be determined.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants who experience one or more adverse events (AEs)Up to ~ 14 days

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

Number of participants who discontinue study intervention due to an AEUp to ~ 14 days

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.
