MK-6194 Site of Injection Study in Healthy Adult Participants (MK-6194-013)

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Healthy
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06649877
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to learn what happens to MK-6194 in a healthy person's body when different injection sites are used. Researchers will compare what happens to MK-6194 in a healthy person's body when it is injected into the abdomen and when it is injected into the thigh. Researchers think that the average amount of MK-6194 in a person's body over time will be similar when injected into the thigh or abdomen. They also want to learn if it is safe to inject MK-6194 into the abdomen and thigh, and if people tolerate it.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Last (AUC0-Last) of MK-6194At designated timepoints (up to approximately 4 weeks postdose)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-Last of MK-6194.

Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-Inf) of MK-6194At designated timepoints (up to approximately 4 weeks postdose)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-Inf of MK-6194.

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of MK-6194At designated timepoints (up to approximately 4 weeks postdose)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of MK-6194.

Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of MK-6194At designated timepoints (up to approximately 4 weeks postdose)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of MK-6194.

Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of MK-6194At designated timepoints (up to approximately 4 weeks postdose)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the CL/F of MK-6194.

Apparent Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of MK-6194At designated timepoints (up to approximately 4 weeks postdose)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the t1/2 of MK-6194.

Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F) of MK-6194At designated timepoints (up to approximately 4 weeks postdose)

Blood samples will be collected to determine the Vz/F of MK-6194.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse EventUp to approximately 12 weeks

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of the 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 approximately 12 weeks

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of the 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.
