Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Latency to Persistent Sleep (LPS) Following Single Doses of MK-1064 and Placebo
1 to 9 hours post dose, within each treatment period

LPS is measured during overnight sleep laboratory (polysomnography \[PSG\]) assessment and is defined as the duration of time from the beginning of PSG assessment to the first interval of 10 consecutive minutes of sleep.

LPS Following Single Doses of MK-6096 and Placebo
1 to 9 hours post dose, within each treatment period

LPS is measured during overnight sleep laboratory (PSG) assessment and is defined as the duration of time from the beginning of PSG assessment to the first interval of 10 consecutive minutes of sleep.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Up to 14 days after the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 42 days)

An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the use of the study drug. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study drug, is also an AE.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Due to an AE
Up to 14 days after the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 42 days)

An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the use of the study drug. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study drug, is also an AE.

Number of Participants Who Experienced One or More Adverse Events (AEs)
Up to 14 days after the last dose of study drug (Up to approximately 60 days)

An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the use of study drug. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition which is temporally associated with the use of study drug, is also an AE.

Average Plasma Concentration From Time Zero to 4 Hours (Area Under the Plasma Drug Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to 4 Hours [AUC0-4hr]) Following Single Doses of MK-1064
Pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours post-dose

AUC0-4hr is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to 4 hours post-dose. This is a measure of the average amount of study drug (MK-1064) in the blood plasma over a period of 4 hours after the dose.

Secondary Endpoints

Wake Time After Sleep Onset (WASO) Following Single Doses of MK-1064 and Placebo
1 to 9 hours post dose, within each treatment period
WASO Following Single Doses of MK-6096 and Placebo
1 to 9 hours post dose, within each treatment period
Change From Baseline in Choice Reaction Time (CRT) Following Single Doses of MK-1064 and Placebo

Who makes MK-1064?

MK-1064 is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which trades under the ticker MRK. The company is conducting Phase 1 clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics.

What phase is MK-1064 in?

MK-1064 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. Two Phase 1 trials have been completed, both involving healthy male volunteers aged 18 years and older.

What clinical trials is MK-1064 in?

MK-1064 has two completed Phase 1 trials: NCT02549014, a single-dose study of safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics with 16 participants, and NCT02549027, a study evaluating effects on polysomnography with 20 participants. Both were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.
