Brief summary

This study will investigate and compare the pharmacokinetics of a single 25-mg dose of MK-3102 in participants with moderate hepatic impairment and matched healthy participants. The primary hypothesis is that in participants with moderately impaired hepatic function, the area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞) is similar to that observed in healthy matched control participants following a single 25 mg oral dose of MK-3102. Specifically, the true ratio (moderately impaired hepatic function patients/healthy matched control subjects) of geometric means for AUC0-∞ is no greater than 2.

Interventions

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Adult (18 to 80 years of age) males and females participated in the study. Eight participants with moderate hepatic impairment, and eight healthy control participants (matched according to age, weight, gender, and creatinine clearance \[CLCr\] or estimated glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\]), were enrolled.
