Brief summary

MK-2060 is being developed for prevention of thrombotic complications in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The purpose of this study is to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the safety and tolerability of MK-2060 treatment in combination with a commonly used P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, clopidogrel, in ESRD patients.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants Who Experience One or More Bleeding Related Adverse Events (AE)Up to approximately 104 daysBleeding related AEs include any sign or symptom of bleeding, even if not requiring intervention by a medical/healthcare professional, as well as clinically-relevant non major bleeding or major bleeding.
Number of Participants Who Experience One or More AEsUp to approximately 104 daysAn 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.
Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AEUp to approximately 8 daysAn 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.

Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AE

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.

Time frame: Up to approximately 8 days

Population: The analysis population included all participants who received ≥1 dose of MK-2060.
