| NCT01140061 | Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of MK-0873 Following Patch Application in Healthy Participants and Psoriasis Participants (MK-0873-020) | PHASE1 | COMPLETED | 42 | — | — | May 1, 2010 | Mar 1, 2011 | Feb 8, 2019 | - | — |
Following topical administration of MK-0873 or matching placebo patches once daily for 21 days, the number of participants with an adverse event of erythema was recorded. An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
Participant blood samples were collected on Day 11 to determine the Cmax of MK-0873 following topical administration in healthy participants and participants with psoriasis
