Minimum Concentration (Cmin) of MK-6194Predose on all days of dosing; 12, 24-48, and 120 hours (as available) post dose on the first and last day of dosing; and once each week up to approximately day 85Blood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the minimum concentration (Cmin) of MK-6194 present in each participant's serum. A participant's Cmin was defined as the minimum concentration of MK-6194 observed in serum over the entire course of the study for that individual and was calculated by taking the minimum over all observed MK-6194 serum concentrations. Geometric mean and geometric coefficient of variation of Cmin were calculated for each dosing group.
Apparent Half-life (t1/2) of MK-6194Final day of dosing at 12, 24-48 hours, and 120 hours (as available) post-dose; from the last day of dosing once each week up to approximately day 85Blood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the apparent half-life (t1/2) of MK-6194. Noncompartmental analysis was used to calculate t1/2 for each participant using the terminal elimination phase after the final dose. Geometric mean and geometric coefficient of variation of t1/2 were calculated for each dosing group.
Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of MK-6194Final day of dosing at 12, 24-48 hours, and 120 hours (as available) post-dose; from the last day of dosing once each week up to approximately day 85Blood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the apparent clearance (CL/F) of MK-6194 observed in serum. Noncompartmental analysis was used to calculate CL/F for each participant using the terminal elimination phase after the final dose. Geometric mean and geometric coefficient of variation of CL/F were calculated for each dosing group.
Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vd/F) of MK-6194Final day of dosing at 12, 24-48 hours, and 120 hours (as available) post-dose; from the last day of dosing once each week up to approximately day 85Blood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) of MK-6194 observed in serum. Noncompartmental analysis was used to calculate Vd/F for each participant using the terminal elimination phase after the final dose. Geometric mean and geometric coefficient of variation of Vd/F were calculated for each dosing group.
Area Under the Concentration Time-curve From Time 0 to the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t)Predose on all days of dosing; 12, 24-48, and 120 hours (as available) post dose on the first and last day of dosing; and once each week up to approximately day 85Blood samples were collected at pre-specified timepoints to determine the AUC0-t of MK-6194. AUC0-t is defined as the area under the concentration-time curve from time=0 (Day 1 predose) to the last quantifiable concentration. Noncompartmental analysis was used to calculate AUC0-t for each participant. Geometric mean and geometric coefficient of variation of AUC0-t were calculated for each dosing group.
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of MK-6194Predose on all days of dosing; 12, 24-48, and 120 hours (as available) post dose on the first and last day of dosing; and once each week up to approximately day 85.Blood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine each participant's maximum concentration (Cmax).

Recruitment details

Upon concluding the Initial Blinded Treatment (IBT) phase, participants could either complete the study or enter one of the next 2 phases. Participants who achieved clinical response could enter the continued blinded treatment (CBT) phase and continue receiving the same treatment as the IBT phase. Participants who did not achieve clinical response could enter an open label (OL) phase and receive MK-6194 at the same dose/regimen of their IBT cohort for active MK-6194 treatment.

Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of MK-6194

Blood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine each participant's maximum concentration (Cmax). A participant's Cmax was defined as the maximum concentration of MK-6194 observed in serum over the entire course of the study for that individual and was calculated by taking the maximum over all observed MK-6194 serum concentrations. Geometric mean and geometric coefficient of variation of Cmax were calculated for each dosing group.

Time frame: Predose on all days of dosing; 12, 24-48, and 120 hours (as available) post dose on the first and last day of dosing; and once each week up to approximately day 85.

Population: All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study intervention and who had least 1 valid analytical result at baseline, at least 1 post-dose analytical result and had no major relevant protocol or dosing deviations that could potentially affect the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile. Per protocol, samples from participants who received placebo were not analyzed for PK values.

Minimum Concentration (Cmin) of MK-6194

Blood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the minimum concentration (Cmin) of MK-6194 present in each participant's serum. A participant's Cmin was defined as the minimum concentration of MK-6194 observed in serum over the entire course of the study for that individual and was calculated by taking the minimum over all observed MK-6194 serum concentrations. Geometric mean and geometric coefficient of variation of Cmin were calculated for each dosing group.

Time frame: Predose on all days of dosing; 12, 24-48, and 120 hours (as available) post dose on the first and last day of dosing; and once each week up to approximately day 85

Time to Cmax (Tmax) of MK-6194

Blood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine maximum concentration (Cmax) of MK-6194 in each participant's serum and corresponding time of maximum concentration (Tmax). A participant's Tmax was defined as the time post-dose that the maximum concentration of MK-6194 was observed in serum. The median and range of Tmax were calculated for each dosing group.

Time frame: Predose on all days of dosing; 12, 24-48, and 120 hours (as available) post dose on the first and last day of dosing; and once each week up to approximately day 85

Population: All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study intervention and who had least 1 valid analytical result at baseline, at least 1 post-dose analytical result and had no major relevant protocol or dosing deviations that could potentially affect he pharmacokinetic (PK) profile. Per protocol, samples from participants receiving placebo were not analyzed for PK values.

Titer of Anti-drug Antibody (ADA) to MK-6194

Blood samples were collected for the determination of ADA to MK-6194 using a screening assay, ADA titer using a confirmatory assay, and neutralizing antibody to MK-6194 in participants with confirmed positive titers

Time frame: Pre dose (week 0) and Weeks 4, 8, 12

Population: All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study intervention and who had least 1 valid analytical result at baseline, at least 1 post-dose analytical result and had no major relevant protocol or dosing deviations that could potentially affect the pharmacodynamic profile. ADA titer was assessed only in participants who were ADA positive.
