A Study of the Effect Efavirenz on the Plasma Levels of MK-7602 in Healthy Participants (MK-7602-005)

Phase 1
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Healthy
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06797674
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

The goal of the study is to learn what happens to levels of MK-7602 in a healthy person's body over time. Researchers will compare what happens to MK-7602 in the body when it is given with or without another medicine called efavirenz, and when it is given with or without a meal.

Blood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of MK-7602.

Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of MK-7602Predose and at designated time points (up to 4 weeks)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of MK-7602.

Plasma Concentration at 24 Hours (C24) of MK-7602At designated time points (up to 4 weeks)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the C24 of MK-7602.

Apparent Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of MK-7602At designated time points (up to 4 weeks)

Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-Inf) of MK-7602At designated time points (up to 4 weeks)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-inf of MK-7602.

Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24hrs) of MK-7602At designated time points (up to 4 weeks)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-24hr of MK-7602.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)Up to approximately 10 weeks

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. The number of participants who experience an AE will be reported.

Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AEUp to approximately 10 weeks

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. The number of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be reported.

Part 2: AUC0-Inf of MK-7602At designated time points (up to 4 weeks)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-inf of MK-7602.

Part 2: AUC0-24hrs of MK-7602At designated time points (up to 4 weeks)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-24hr of MK-7602.

Part 2: Cmax of MK-7602At designated time points (up to 4 weeks)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of MK-7602.

Part 2: Tmax of MK-7602Predose and at designated time points (up to 4 weeks)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of MK-7602.

Part 2: C24 of MK-7602At designated time points (up to 4 weeks)
