Intervention model description

Panel A participants will receive a loading dose of MK-1167 6mg or matching Placebo on Days 1 to 7 followed by once daily (QD) dosing of MK-1167 3mg or matching Placebo for 14 consecutive days (Days 8 to 21). Panel B participants will receive QD dosing of MK-1167 6mg or matching Placebo for Days 1 to 31. Panel B will be initiated following review of safety and tolerability data from Panel A.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE)Up to approximately 7 weeksAn AE was 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. The number of participants who experienced an AE were reported.
Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AEUp to approximately 4 weeksAn AE was 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. The number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE were reported.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AE

An AE was 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. The number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE were reported.

Time frame: Up to approximately 4 weeks
