MeasureTime frameDescription
Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 to Last Quantifiable Sample (AUC0-last) of MK-8527 in PlasmaPredose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 168 hours post doseBlood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the AUC0-last of MK-8527 in participant's plasma. AUC0 to last of MK-8527 was defined as the area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to the time of the last quantifiable (above lower limit of quantitation) concentration. AUC0-last was calculated using noncompartmental analysis.
Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of MK-8527 in PlasmaPredose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 168 hours post doseBlood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the AUC0-inf of MK-8527 in participant's plasma. AUC0-inf was defined as AUC0-last + (Cest,last/λz) where Cest,last was the estimated last measurable concentration, and λz was the apparent first-order terminal elimination rate constant.
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of MK-8527 in PlasmaPredose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 168 hours post doseBlood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the Cmax of MK-8527 in participant's plasma. Cmax was defined as the maximum observed concentration of MK-8527 in plasma after the administration of a given dose.
Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of MK-8527 in PlasmaPredose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 168 hours post doseBlood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the tmax of MK-8527 in participant's plasma. Tmax of MK-8527 in plasma was determined by deriving the difference between the time of the blood draw associated with the Cmax and the time of study drug administration
Apparent Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of MK-8527 in PlasmaPredose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 168 hours post doseBlood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the t1/2 of MK-8527 in participant's plasma. t1/2 was defined as 0.693/Apparent terminal elimination rate constant (λz).
Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of MK-8527 in PlasmaPredose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 168 hours post doseBlood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the CL/F of MK-8527 in participant's plasma. CL/F was defined as dose/(AUC0-inf).
Apparent Volume of Distribution During Terminal Phase (Vz/F) of MK-8527 in PlasmaPredose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 168 hours post doseBlood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the Vz/F of MK-8527 in participant's plasma. Vz/F of MK-8527 in plasma was determined using the formula Dose/(AUC0-inf × λz).

Number of Participants Who Experience One or More Adverse Events (AEs)Up to approximately 29 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 Due to an AEUp to approximately 29 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.
AUC0-last of MK-8527-triphosphate (TP) in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs)Predose, 4, 12, 24, 48, 96, 120, 144, 168, 336, 504, 672 hours post doseBlood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the AUC0-last of MK-8527-TP, the active triphosphate anabolite of MK-8527, in participant's PBMCs. AUC0 to last of MK-8527 was defined as the area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to the time of the last quantifiable (above lower limit of quantitation) concentration.
AUC0-inf of MK-8527-TP in PBMCsPredose, 4, 12, 24, 48, 96, 120, 144, 168, 336, 504, 672 hours post doseBlood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the AUC0-inf of MK-8527-TP, the active triphosphate anabolite of MK-8527, in participant's PBMCs. AUC0-inf was defined as AUC0-last + (Cest,last/λz) where Cest,last was the estimated last measurable concentration, and λz was the apparent first-order terminal elimination rate constant.
Cmax of MK-8527-TP in PBMCsPredose, 4, 12, 24, 48, 96, 120, 144, 168, 336, 504, 672 hours post doseBlood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the Cmax of MK-8527-TP, the active triphosphate anabolite of MK-8527, in participant's PBMCs. Cmax was defined as the maximum observed concentration of MK-8527-TP after the administration of a given dose.
Concentration at 168 Hours (C168) of MK-8527-TP in PBMCs168 hours post doseBlood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the C168 of MK-8527-TP, the active triphosphate anabolite of MK-8527, in participant's PBMCs. Geometric mean of C168 of MK-8527-TP in PBMCs was determined.
Concentration at 672 Hours (C672) of MK-8527-TP in PBMCs in Participants With Moderate and Severe Renal Impairment672 hours post doseBlood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the C672 of MK-8527-TP, the active triphosphate anabolite of MK-8527, in participant's PBMCs. Geometric mean of C672 of MK-8527-TP in PBMCs was determined.
C672 of MK-8527-TP in PBMCs in Healthy Participants672 hours post doseBlood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the C672 of MK-8527-TP, the active triphosphate anabolite of MK-8527, in participant's PBMCs. Since ≤ 50% of healthy participants had BLQ values, the BLQ value was set to zero and the median, minimum, and maximum was reported for C672.
Tmax of MK-8527-TP in PBMCsPredose, 4, 12, 24, 48, 96, 120, 144, 168, 336, 504, 672 hours post doseBlood samples were collected at pre-specified time points to determine the Tmax of MK-8527-TP, the active triphosphate anabolite of MK-8527, in participant's PBMCs. Tmax of MK-8527-TP was determined by deriving the difference between the time of the blood draw associated with the Cmax and the time of study drug administration
