The Effect of Food and Water Volume in Healthy Adult Participants Administered Enlicitide Decanoate (MK-0616) (MK-0616-022)

Phase 1

Conditions
Healthy
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06658652
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

Enlicitide decanoate (MK-0616, the study medicine) is in a class of medicines that have been shown to reduce LDL-C. Enlicitide decanoate is different from the other medicines in this class because it is taken as a tablet and not an injection.

The goal of this study is to see what happens to doses of enlicitide decanoate in a person's body over time. During the study, researchers will measure people's blood samples for the amount of enlicitide decanoate when taken with food or on an empty stomach, or when taken with high, medium, and low volumes of water. Researchers also want to learn about the safety of enlicitide decanoate, including how well people tolerate (manage) it.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-Inf) of Enlicitide DecanoatePre-dose and at designated time points up to 1 week postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-Inf of enlicitide decanoate.

Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24hrs) of Enlicitide DecanoatePre-dose and at designated time points up to 24 hours postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-24 of enlicitide decanoate.

Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Last (AUC0-Last) of Enlicitide DecanoatePre-dose and at designated time points up to 1 week postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-last of enlicitide decanoate.

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Enlicitide DecanoatePre-dose and at designated time points up to 1 week postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of enlicitide decanoate.

Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Enlicitide DecanoatePre-dose and at designated time points up to 1 week postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of enlicitide decanoate.

Lag Time (tlag) of Enlicitide Decanoate in PlasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 1 week postdose

Tlag is the time from dosing to the first appearance in plasma. Blood samples will be collected to determine the tlag of enlicitide decanoate.

Apparent Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of Enlicitide DecanoatePre-dose and at designated time points up to 1 week postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the t1/2 of enlicitide decanoate.

Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of Enlicitide DecanoatePre-dose and at designated time points up to 1 week postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the CL/F of enlicitide decanoate.

Apparent Volume of Distribution During Terminal Phase (Vz/F) of Enlicitide DecanoatePre-dose and at designated time points up to 1 week postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the Vz/F of enlicitide decanoate.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)Up to 14 days postdose

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 Due to an AEUp to 14 days postdose

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 due to an AE will be reported.
