Brief summary

Researchers have designed a new study medicine called enlicitide decanoate as a new way to lower the amount of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in a person's blood. Enlicitide decanoate will be called enlicitide from this point forward, The purpose of this study is to learn what happens to enlicitide in a person's body over time (a pharmacokinetic (PK) study). Researchers will compare what happens to enlicitide in the body when it is given to people with severe renal impairment (meaning the kidneys do not work properly) and to people who are in good health. The researchers believe that the total amount of enlicitide in a person's body measured during the 24 hours after a dose will be similar in people with severe renal impairment and in healthy people.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Apparent volume of distribution during terminal phase (Vz/F) of enlicitide in plasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 24 hours post dose on Day 28Vz/F of enlicitide in plasma will be determined.
Area Under the Concentration versus Time Curve from Time 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24) of enlicitide in plasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 24 hours post dose on Day 28AUC0-24 of enlicitide in plasma will be determined.
Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of enlicitide in plasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 24 hours post dose on Day 28Cmax of enlicitide in plasma will be determined.
Time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) of enlicitide in plasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 24 hours post dose on Day 28Tmax of enlicitide in plasma will be determined.
Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of enlicitide in plasmaPre-dose and at designated time points up to 24 hours post dose on Day 28CL/F of enlicitide in plasma will be determined.
Number of participants who experience one or more adverse events (AEs)Up to approximately 42 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 AEUp to approximately 28 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.
