A Study of MK-0616 in Healthy Adult Participants (MK-0616-009)

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Hypercholesterolemia
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT06592339
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

The goal of the study is to learn what happens to levels of MK-0616 in the blood when MK-0616 is given in different forms. Researchers believe that there is no effect on a healthy person's body if MK-0616 is given in different forms.

Sequence 2: MK-0616 Reference capsule→MK-0616 F2→MK-0616 F1MK-0616Period 1: Participants receive MK-0616 reference capsule single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 1 = 15 days). Period 2: Participants receive MK-0616 F2 single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 2 = 15 days). Period 3: Participants receive MK-0616 F1 single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 3 = 15 days). A washout period of 14 days will separate Period 1, Period 2 and Period 3.

A washout period of 14 days will separate Period 1, Period 2 and Period 3.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-Inf) of MK-0616Predose and at designated timepoints up to 168 hours postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-inf of MK-0616.

Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24hr) of MK-0616Predose and at designated timepoints up to 24 hours postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-24 of MK-0616.

Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Last (AUC0-Last) of MK-0616Predose and at designated timepoints up to 168 hours postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-last of MK-0616.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who experience an AE will be reported.

Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Due to an AEUp to approximately 2 months

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who discontinue study due to an AE will be reported.
