Overview

Brief Summary

This study will determine whether the plasma concentration-time profile and pharmacokinetics (PK) of suvorexant (MK-4305) in participants with moderate and mild hepatic insufficiency are similar to those observed in healthy participants.

Detailed Description

Study Design: This study plans to enroll 16 participants in Part I (8 participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency and 8 healthy participants) and 16 participants in Part II (8 participants with mild hepatic insufficiency and 8 healthy participants). Part II will be conducted only if the primary hypothesis is not met and there is a significant difference in the PK of suvorexant between healthy participants and moderate hepatic insufficiency participants in Part I.

Arms & Interventions

Participants with Moderate Hepatic Insufficiency (Part I)

Participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency will receive a single dose of 20 mg open-label suvorexant during Part I of the study.

Intervention: Suvorexant

Healthy Participants (Part I)

Healthy participants matched to participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency will receive a single dose of 20 mg open-label suvorexant during Part I of the study.

Intervention: Suvorexant

Participants with Mild Hepatic Insufficiency (Part II)

Participants with mild hepatic insufficiency will receive a single dose of 20 mg open-label suvorexant during Part II of the study (if conducted).

Intervention: Suvorexant

Healthy Participants (Part II)

Healthy participants matched to participants with mild hepatic insufficiency will receive a single dose of 20 mg open-label suvorexant during Part II of the study (if conducted).

Intervention: Suvorexant

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) From Time Zero to Infinity (0-∞) After Single Dose Suvorexant: Moderate Hepatic Insufficiency Participants Versus Healthy Participants (Part I)

Time Frame: Predose and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours post-dose

Overall exposure was assessed by the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC\[0-∞\]). AUC(0-∞) was calculated as the sum of the AUC to the last time point with a detectable plasma concentration (AUC\[0-last\]) and Ct/λ, where Ct was the last measurable concentration and λ was the apparent terminal rate constant.

AUC(0-∞) After Single Dose Suvorexant: Mild Hepatic Insufficiency Participants Versus Healthy Participants (Part II)

Time Frame: Predose and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours post-dose

Overall exposure was assessed by the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC\[0-∞\]). AUC(0-∞) was calculated as the sum of the AUC to the last time point with a detectable plasma concentration (AUC\[0-last\]) and Ct/λ, where Ct was the last measurable concentration and λ was the apparent terminal rate constant.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Number of Participants With an Adverse Event (AE)(From administration of study drug through 14 days after administration of study drug)
  • Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Suvorexant After Single Dose: Moderate Hepatic Insufficiency Participants Versus Healthy Participants(Predose and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours post-dose)
  • Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Due to an AE(From administration of study drug through 14 days after administration of study drug)
