Brief summary

The goal of the study is to learn what happens to levels of MK-5684 in people with severe renal impairment and end-stage renal disease versus a healthy person's body over time. Researchers will compare what happens to MK-5684 after hemodialysis in people with severe renal impairment and end-stage renal disease versus healthy people.

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria include, but are not limited to: All Participants * Is a continuous non-smoker or moderate smoker (≤ 10 cigarettes per day or equivalent) for at least 3 months prior to the first dosing * Has a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 18.0 and ≤ 42.0 kg/m\^2 at the screening visit Participants with severe renal impairment (RI) (Group 1): * Has severely impaired renal function as determined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the 2021 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine equation Participants with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (Group 2): * Has ESRD maintained on stable outpatient regimen of intermittent high-flux hemodialysis (HD) (at least 3 times per week) for a minimum of 3 hours per dialysis session, using a complication free well-maintained arteriovenous fistula or arteriovenous graft, for at least 3 months prior to first dosing and is expected and planning to continue HD during the study and at least up to the follow-up visit Healthy Control Participants (Group 3): * Has normal renal function

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Apparent Volume of Distribution During Terminal Phase (Vz/F) of MK-5684At protocol specific time points pre-dose and up to 72 hours post-doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the Vz/F of MK-5684 in plasma.
Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From 0 to 24 Hours After Dosing (AUC0-24) of MK-5684At protocol specific time points pre-dose and up to 24 hours post-doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-24 of MK-5684 in plasma.
Maximum Observed Drug Concentration (Cmax) After the Administration of a Given Dose of MK-5684At protocol specific time points pre-dose and up to 72 hours post-doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of MK-5684 in plasma.
Time to Maximum Observed Plasma Drug Concentration (Tmax) of MK-5684At protocol specific time points pre-dose and up to 72 hours post-doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of MK-5684 in plasma.
Apparent Terminal Half-Life (t½) of MK-5684At protocol specific time points pre-dose and up to 72 hours post-doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the t1/2 of MK-5684 in plasma.
Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of MK-5684At protocol specific time points pre-dose and up to 72 hours post-doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the CL/F of MK-5684 in plasma.
Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve from 0 to Infinity (AUC0-inf) After a Single Dose of MK-5684At protocol specific time points pre-dose and up to 72 hours post-doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-inf of MK-5684 in plasma.
Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Sample (AUC0-last) of MK-5684At protocol specific time points pre-dose and up to 72 hours post-doseBlood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-last of MK-5684 in plasma.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AEUp to ~7 daysAn AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of the study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.
Dialysis Clearance (CLD) of MK5684 Based on PlasmaAt protocol specific time points pre-dose and up to 4.5 hours post-doseDialysate will be collected to determine the CLD of MK-5684 in plasma.
Concentration of Dialysate (CD) of MK-5684 SamplesAt protocol specific time points pre-dose and up to 4.5 hours post-doseDialysate will be collected to determine the CD of MK-5684 in plasma.
Amount of drug (AD) of MK-5684 recovered from each dialysate collectionAt protocol specific time points pre-dose and up to 4.5 hours post-doseDialysate will be collected to determine the AD of MK-5684 in plasma.
Number of Participants who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)Up to ~21 daysAn AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of the study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.
