A Study of MK-2060 in Participants With Chronic and/or End-Stage Kidney Disease (MK-2060-011)

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
End-Stage Renal Disease
End-Stage Kidney Disease
Kidney Failure, Chronic
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Biological: MK-2060
Registration Number
NCT05656040
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

This is a three-part study of MK-2060 in participants with chronic and/or end-stage kidney disease. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single subcutaneous dose of MK-2060 in stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD4) or stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD5) participants in Part 1, of multiple subcutaneous doses in CKD4 or CKD5 participants in Part 2, and of a single subcutaneous dose of MK-2060 in participants with end-stage kidney disease in Part 3. The primary hypothesis is that, in Part 1, the true geometric mean of the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUC0-inf) after a single-dose of MK-2060 in adult CKD4 or CKD5 participants is at least 11300 nM\*hr.
