Part 1-Coffee: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-Inf) of Enlicitide

Study Overview

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to learn what happens to enlicitide in a person's body over time when enlicitide is taken at the same time as coffee or tea. Researchers will measure the amount of enlicitide in the blood when taken with coffee or tea compared with enlicitide taken with water.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Part 1-Coffee: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-Inf) of Enlicitide

Time Frame: Predose and at designated time points up to 168 hours

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-inf of enlicitide when administered with coffee

Part 2 -Tea: Cmax of Enlicitide

Time Frame: Predose and at designated time points up to 168 hours

Blood samples will be collected to determine the maximum observed drug concentration of enlicitide when administered with tea

Part 1-Coffee: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Last (AUC0-last) of Enlicitide

Time Frame: Predose and at designated time points up to 168 hours

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC from time 0 to the time of last quantifiable sample of enlicitide when administered with coffee

Part 1 -Coffee : Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Enlicitide

Time Frame: Predose and at designated time points up to 168 hours

Blood samples will be collected to determine the maximum observed drug concentration of enlicitide when administered with coffee

Part 2 -Tea: AUC0-last of Enlicitide

Time Frame: Predose and at designated time points up to 168 hours

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC from time 0 to the time of last quantifiable sample of enlicitide when administered with tea

Part 2 - Tea: AUC0-Inf of Enlicitide

Time Frame: Predose and at designated time points up to 168 hours

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-inf of enlicitide when administered with tea.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Part 2 - Tea: Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)(Up to approximately 7 weeks)
  • Part 1 - Coffee: Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)(Up to approximately 7 weeks)
  • Part 1 - Coffee: Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE(Up to approximately 7 weeks)
  • Part 2 - Tea: Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE(Up to approximately 7 weeks)
