A Study to Evaluate Molnupiravir Tablet Formulation Compared to the Molnupiravir Capsule Formulation in Healthy Adult Participants (MK-4482-011)

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Healthy
Interventions
Drug: Molnupiravir
Registration Number
NCT06615869
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

The goal of the study is to learn what happens to different forms of molnupiravir (MOV) medications in a healthy person's body over time when taken on an empty stomach or with food. Researchers will compare the amount of MOV in the healthy person's body over time when different forms of medications are given.
