A Drug-Drug Interaction Study of Diltiazem and MK-5684 in Healthy Adult Male Participants (MK-5684-011)

Registration Number
NCT06554639
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

Researchers have designed a study medicine called MK-5684 as a new way to treat prostate cancer.

The purpose of this study is to learn what happens to MK-5684 in a person's body over time (a pharmacokinetic or PK study). Researchers will compare what happens to MK-5684 in the body when it is given with and without another medicine called diltiazem.

GroupInterventionDescription
MK-5684 Period 2Diltiazem hydrocholorideThere will be a washout of at least 5 days between MK-5684 dosing in Period 1 and the first diltiazem dosing in Period 2. In Period 2, diltiazem will be administered once daily (QD) for 6 consecutive days with a single dose of MK-5684 coadministered on Day 2 under fasting conditions. HRT (prednisone and fludrocortisone) will be administered under fed conditions QD on Days 2 through 5, approximately 4.5 hours after MK-5684 and/or diltiazem dosing.
MK-5684 Period 1PrednisoneOn Day 1 a single dose of MK-5684 will be administered under fasting conditions and a single dose of HRT (prednisone and fludrocortisone) will be administered under fed conditions approximately 4.5 hours after MK-5684 dosing.
MK-5684 Period 1Fludrocortisone acetateOn Day 1 a single dose of MK-5684 will be administered under fasting conditions and a single dose of HRT (prednisone and fludrocortisone) will be administered under fed conditions approximately 4.5 hours after MK-5684 dosing.
MK-5684 Period 2MK-5684There will be a washout of at least 5 days between MK-5684 dosing in Period 1 and the first diltiazem dosing in Period 2. In Period 2, diltiazem will be administered once daily (QD) for 6 consecutive days with a single dose of MK-5684 coadministered on Day 2 under fasting conditions. HRT (prednisone and fludrocortisone) will be administered under fed conditions QD on Days 2 through 5, approximately 4.5 hours after MK-5684 and/or diltiazem dosing.
MK-5684 Period 1MK-5684On Day 1 a single dose of MK-5684 will be administered under fasting conditions and a single dose of HRT (prednisone and fludrocortisone) will be administered under fed conditions approximately 4.5 hours after MK-5684 dosing.
MK-5684 Period 2PrednisoneThere will be a washout of at least 5 days between MK-5684 dosing in Period 1 and the first diltiazem dosing in Period 2. In Period 2, diltiazem will be administered once daily (QD) for 6 consecutive days with a single dose of MK-5684 coadministered on Day 2 under fasting conditions. HRT (prednisone and fludrocortisone) will be administered under fed conditions QD on Days 2 through 5, approximately 4.5 hours after MK-5684 and/or diltiazem dosing.
MK-5684 Period 2Fludrocortisone acetateThere will be a washout of at least 5 days between MK-5684 dosing in Period 1 and the first diltiazem dosing in Period 2. In Period 2, diltiazem will be administered once daily (QD) for 6 consecutive days with a single dose of MK-5684 coadministered on Day 2 under fasting conditions. HRT (prednisone and fludrocortisone) will be administered under fed conditions QD on Days 2 through 5, approximately 4.5 hours after MK-5684 and/or diltiazem dosing.
