Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-Inf) of MK-0616
Predose and at designated timepoints up to 168 hours postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-inf of MK-0616.

Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24hr) of MK-0616
Predose and at designated timepoints up to 24 hours postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-24 of MK-0616.

Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to Last (AUC0-Last) of MK-0616
Predose and at designated timepoints up to 168 hours postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-last of MK-0616.

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of MK-0616
Predose and at designated timepoints up to 168 hours postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of MK-0616.

Maximum Plasma Concentration (C24) of MK-0616
Predose and at designated timepoints up to 24 hours postdose

Blood samples will be collected to determine the C24 of MK-0616.

Apparent Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of MK-0616
Predose and at designated timepoints up to 168 hours postdose

Sequence 1: MK-0616 Reference capsule→MK-0616 Formulation 1 (F1)→MK-0616 Formulation 2 (F2)EXPERIMENTALPeriod 1: Participants receive MK-0616 reference capsule single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 1 = 15 days). Period 2: Participants receive MK-0616 F1 single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 2 = 15 days). Period 3: Participants receive MK-0616 F2 single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 3 = 15 days). A washout period of 14 days will separate Period 1, Period 2 and Period 3.

Period 2: Participants receive MK-0616 F2 single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 2 = 15 days). Period 3: Participants receive MK-0616 F1 single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 3 = 15 days). A washout period of 14 days will separate Period 1, Period 2 and Period 3.

A washout period of 14 days will separate Period 1, Period 2 and Period 3.
Sequence 4: MK-0616 F1→MK-0616 F2→MK-0616 Reference capsuleEXPERIMENTALPeriod 1: Participants receive MK-0616 F1 single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 1 = 15 days). Period 2: Participants receive MK-0616 F2 single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 2 = 15 days). Period 3: Participants receive MK-0616 reference capsule single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 3 = 15 days). A washout period of 14 days will separate Period 1, Period 2 and Period 3.
Sequence 5: MK-0616 F2→MK-0616 Reference capsule →MK-0616 F1EXPERIMENTALPeriod 1: Participants receive MK-0616 F2 single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 1 = 15 days).
