A Pharmacokinetic Study of MK-3102 in Participants With Impaired Hepatic Function (MK-3102-031)

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01767688
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

This study will investigate and compare the pharmacokinetics of a single 25-mg dose of MK-3102 in participants with moderate hepatic impairment and matched healthy participants. The primary hypothesis is that in participants with moderately impaired hepatic function, the area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞) is similar to that observed in healthy matched control participants following a single 25 mg oral dose of MK-3102. Specifically, the true ratio (moderately impaired hepatic function patients/healthy matched control subjects) of geometric means for AUC0-∞ is no greater than 2.

An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation patient/subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Number of Participants Discontinued From Study Due to AEsUp to 14 days post-dose

An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation patient/subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.
