Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from 0 to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of MK-8527Predose and at designated timepoints (up to 168 hours postdose)Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-inf of MK-8527 in plasma
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Sample (AUC0-last) of MK-8527Predose and at designated timepoints (up to 168 hours postdose)Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-last of MK-8527 in plasma
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24) of MK-8527Predose and at designated timepoints (up to 24 hours postdose)Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-24 of MK-8527 in plasma
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from 0 to 168 hours (AUC0-168) of MK-8527Predose and at designated timepoints (up to 168 hours postdose)Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-168 of MK-8527 in plasma
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of MK-8527Predose and at designated timepoints (up to 168 hours postdose)Blood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of MK-8527 in plasma
Time to Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of MK-8527Predose and at designated timepoints (up to 168 hours postdose)Blood samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of MK-8527 in plasma
Apparent Terminal Half-Life (t1/2) of MK-8527Predose and at designated timepoints (up to 168 hours postdose)Blood samples will be collected to determine the t1/2 of MK-8527 in plasma
Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of MK-8527Predose and at designated timepoints (up to 168 hours postdose)Blood samples will be collected to determine the CL/F of MK-8527 in plasma
Apparent Volume of Distribution During Terminal Phase (Vz/F) of MK-8527Predose and at designated timepoints (up to 168 hours postdose)Blood samples will be collected to determine the Vz/F of MK-8527 in plasma

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)Up to approximately 60 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.
Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AEUp to approximately 30 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.
