Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose of MK-0616 in participants with moderate renal impairment (RI) to those of healthy matched control participants. This study is being conducted to assess the impact of moderate renal insufficiency on the PK of MK-0616.

    Blood for plasma samples will be collected at pre-specified time points to determine the Cmax of MK-0616

  4. Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of MK-0616 [Pre-dose and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 120, 168, 240, and 336 hours post dose]

    Blood for plasma samples will be collected at pre-specified time points to determine the Tmax of MK-0616

  5. Apparent Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of MK-0616 [Pre-dose and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 120, 168, 240, and 336 hours post dose]

    Blood for plasma samples will be collected at pre-specified time points to determine the t1/2 of MK-0616

  6. Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of MK-0616 [Pre-dose and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 120, 168, 240, and 336 hours post dose]

    Blood for plasma samples will be collected at pre-specified time points to determine the CL/F of MK-0616

  7. Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F) of MK-0616 [Pre-dose and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 120, 168, 240, and 336 hours post dose]

    Blood for plasma samples will be collected at pre-specified time points to determine the Vz/F of MK-0616

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE) [Up to approximately 14 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

  2. Number of Participants Who Discontinue From the Study due to an AE [Up to approximately 14 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

  3. Amount Recovered in Urine from 0 to 24 hours (Ae0-24) of MK-0616 [Pre-dose and and at 0-4, 4-8, 8-12, 12-24, 24-36, and 36-48 hours post dose]

    Urine will be collected at pre-specified time points to determine the Ae0-24 of MK-0616

  4. Fraction of Dose Recovered in Urine (Fe) of MK-0616 [Pre-dose and and at 0-4, 4-8, 8-12, 12-24, 24-36, and 36-48 hours post dose]

    Urine will be collected at pre-specified time points to determine the Fe of MK-0616

  5. Renal Clearance (CLr) of MK-0616 [Pre-dose and and at 0-4, 4-8, 8-12, 12-24, 24-36, and 36-48 hours post dose]

    Urine will be collected at pre-specified time points to determine the CLr of MK-0616

  6. Maximum Percent Change in Free Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin Kexin 9 (PCSK9) from Baseline [Baseline and up to 336 hours post dose]

    Blood will be collected at pre-specified time points to determine the maximum percent change in free PCSK9 from baseline following administration of a single dose of MK-0616
