Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to compare the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of MK-0616 following a single 20 mg dose in participants on a background of statin therapy with varying degrees of renal impairment (moderate, severe, end stage renal disease [ESRD]) to those of healthy mean matched control participants on a background of statin therapy. There is no formal hypothesis.

Secondary Outcome Measures

    CLd is the amount of MK-0616 cleared from plasma via dialysis.

    Cd is the concentration of MK-0616 in dialysate.

    The amount of MK-0616 excreted in the dialysate will be assessed.

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention

  9. Percentage of Participants Who Discontinue From the Study due to an AE [Up to approximately 30 days]

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention
