AUC (0-inf) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinite time. The AUC(0-inf) bioequivalence was evaluated for single doses of 100 and 115 mg MK-0517 PS80, IV and that of an oral 125-mg capsule of aprepitant. Period I to IV populations are not included in the outcome analysis because those were formulation and dose-finding/dose confirmation arms.

MK0517 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the prevention of Post-Operative Nausea and Vomiting and Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting. It is developed by Merck & Company, Inc. (MRK) and is currently in Phase 3 clinical development.
MK0517 is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which trades under the ticker MRK. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MK0517 for nausea and vomiting indications.
MK0517 is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, not yet approved, and is being studied for the prevention of Post-Operative Nausea and Vomiting and Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting.
MK0517 has one completed Phase 3 trial, NCT00231777, which studied its safety and tolerability for preventing Post-Operative Nausea and Vomiting in 216 participants. A separate Phase 1 trial, NCT00990821, examined safety in healthy subjects.
Yes, MK0517 and MK-0517 refer to the same drug. Clinical trial records use both naming conventions, with NCT00231777 listing MK0517 and NCT00990821 listing MK-0517. Both are Merck's investigational compound for nausea and vomiting.
