Study of Single-Dose MK-2828 in Adults With Kidney Disease and Healthy Adults to Measure Drug Levels Over Time

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying how the drug MK-2828 behaves in the body over time, focusing on people with different levels of kidney disease compared to healthy individuals. This Phase 1 trial aims to understand the drugs pharmacokinetics, or how it is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated in people with severe renal impairment, end-stage renal disease ESRD on hemodialysis, and healthy controls. Participants are divided into three groups based on kidney function. Those with severe renal impairment receive a single oral dose of MK-2828 on Day 1. Participants with ESRD on hemodialysis receive a single dose on Day 1 during two separate periods, with at least a 14-day break between doses. Healthy participants with normal kidney function also receive a single dose on Day 1. This open-label study does not involve randomization or blinding. During the trial, participants undergo blood sampling before dosing and at several time points up to 192 hours after receiving MK-2828 to measure drug concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameters. For those on hemodialysis, additional measurements related to dialysis clearance are collected up to 6 days. Safety is monitored by tracking adverse events for about two weeks. Participation lasts a few days depending on the dosing schedule and required sampling times.
