Brief summary

The goal of this study is to learn how \[14C\]MK-8527 moves through a healthy person's body over time. Researchers will study how \[14C\]MK-8527 is absorbed by the body, broken down by the body, and how it leaves the body.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Total Number of Metabolites in Urine that Represent at least 10% of the Dose of RadioactivityAt designated timepoints (up to approximately 5 weeks post-dose)Urine samples will be collected at pre-specified timepoints and used to determine the total number of metabolites that represent at least 10% of the dose of radioactivity. Metabolites will be determined using liquid scintillation and high-resolution mass spectrometry.
Percent of Total Radioactive Dose Recovered from FecesAt designated timepoints (up to approximately 5 weeks post-dose)Fecal samples will be collected to determine the percent of the total radioactive dose recovered from feces.
Total Number of Metabolites in Plasma that Represent at least 10% of the Dose of RadioactivityAt designated timepoints (up to approximately 5 weeks post-dose)Plasma samples will be collected at pre-specified timepoints and used to determine the total number of metabolites that represent at least 10% of the dose of radioactivity. Metabolites will be determined using liquid scintillation and high-resolution mass spectrometry.
Total Number of Metabolites in Feces that Represent at least 10% of the Dose of RadioactivityAt designated timepoints (up to approximately 5 weeks post-dose)Fecal samples will be collected at pre-specified timepoints and used to determine the total number of metabolites that represent at least 10% of the dose of radioactivity. Metabolites will be determined using liquid scintillation and high-resolution mass spectrometry.
Cumulative Percentage of Total Radioactivity Recovered (fe) from Urine and FecesAt designated timepoints (up to approximately 5 weeks post-dose)Urine and fecal samples will be collected to determine the cumulative percentage of radioactivity recovered from both urine and feces.
Fe from UrineAt designated timepoints (up to approximately 5 weeks post-dose)Urine samples will be collected to determine the percent of total radioactivity recovered from urine.
Fe from FecesAt designated timepoints (up to approximately 5 weeks post-dose)Fecal samples will be collected to determine the percent of total radioactivity recovered from feces.
Plasma MK-8527: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to 24 Hours Post-dose (AUC0-24)At designated timepoints (up to 24 hours post-dose)Plasma samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-24 of MK-8527.
Plasma MK-8527: Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax)At designated timepoints (up to approximately 14 days post-dose)Plasma samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of MK-8527.
Plasma MK-8527: Concentration at 24 Hours Post-dose (C24)At designated timepoints (up to 24 hours post-dose)Plasma samples will be collected to determine the C24 of MK-8527.
Plasma MK-8527: Time of the Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax)At designated timepoints (up to approximately 14 days post-dose)Plasma samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of MK-8527.
Plasma Total Radioactivity: AUC0-24At designated timepoints (up to 24 hours post-dose)Plasma samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-24 of total radioactivity.
Plasma Total Radioactivity: CmaxAt designated timepoints (up to approximately 5 weeks post-dose)Plasma samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of total radioactivity.
Plasma Total Radioactivity: C24At designated timepoints (up to 24 hours post-dose)Plasma samples will be collected to determine the C24 of total radioactivity.
Plasma Total Radioactivity: TmaxAt designated timepoints (up to approximately 5 weeks post-dose)Plasma samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of total radioactivity.
Whole Blood Total Radioactivity: AUC0-24At designated timepoints (up to 24 hours post-dose)Whole blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-24 of total radioactivity.
Whole Blood Total Radioactivity: CmaxAt designated timepoints (up to approximately 5 weeks post-dose)Whole blood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of total radioactivity.
Whole Blood Total Radioactivity: C24At designated timepoints (up to 24 hours post-dose)Whole blood samples will be collected to determine the C24 of total radioactivity.
Whole blood Total Radioactivity: TmaxAt designated timepoints (up to approximately 5 weeks post-dose)Whole blood samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of total radioactivity.
Cumulative Amount of Radioactivity Recovered from UrineAt designated timepoints (up to approximately 5 weeks post-dose)Urine samples will be collected to determine the cumulative amount of radioactivity recovered from urine.
Percent of Total Radioactive Dose Recovered from UrineAt designated timepoints (up to approximately 5 weeks post-dose)Urine samples will be collected to determine the percent of the total radioactive dose recovered from urine.
Cumulative Amount of Radioactivity Recovered from FecesAt designated timepoints (up to approximately 5 weeks post-dose)Fecal samples will be collected to determine the cumulative amount of radioactivity recovered from feces.
