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.

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
Pre-dose and 10 hours post dose, within each treatment period

Sequence (MK-1064): 50 mg→250 mg→Placebo→120 mgEXPERIMENTALFor overall study population, 5 participants each were to be allocated to one of 4 sequences. In this sequence, participants received the following: Period 1 - single dose of 50 mg MK-1064, Period 2 - single dose of 250 mg MK-1064, Period 3 - single dose of placebo, Period 4 - single dose of 120 mg MK-1064. Participants completing the first 4 periods also were to receive the following: Period 5 - single dose of 20 mg MK-6096 or placebo, in an 18:2 ratio for overall study population, according to separate allocation. There was a minimum 7-day washout between doses.
