MK-4250 · 1 trial · 1 indication
Plasma HIV-1 RNA was measured at Baseline and 168 hours after dosing. The log10 plasma HIV-RNA copies/mL measurements from participants in each panel were pooled and analyzed based on a longitudinal data analysis model. The change from Baseline in plasma HIV-1 RNA in participants administered MK-4250 was compared with historical placebo data.
The percentage of participants experiencing ≥1 AE was calculated. An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease (new or worsening) temporally associated with the use of study therapy, regardless of whether or not a causal relationship with the study therapy could be determined.
The percentage of participants who discontinued from the study due to an adverse event was calculated. An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease (new or worsening) temporally associated with the use of study therapy, regardless of whether or not a causal relationship with the study therapy could be determined.
| Arm | Type | Description |

| Panel A: MK-4250 150 mg | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants will receive MK-4250 150 mg tablet by mouth on Day 1 after an 8-hour fast. |
| Panel B: MK-4250 600 mg | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants will receive MK-4250 600 mg tablet by mouth on Day 1 after an 8-hour fast. The decision to enroll Panel B and the dose selected (i.e., ≤600 mg) will be made based on evaluation of pharmacokinetics and 7-day safety and viral load data from Panel A. |
| Panel D: MK-4250 900 mg | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants will receive MK-4250 900 mg tablet by mouth on Day 1 after an 8-hour fast. The decision to enroll Panel D will be made upon completion of Panels A and B and evaluation of safety and viral load data from those panels. |
| Panel E: MK-4250 ≤900 mg with a Low-fat Meal | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants will receive MK-4250 ≤900 mg tablet by mouth on Day 1 with a low-fat meal. The decision to enroll Panel E will be made upon completion of Panel D and evaluation of safety and viral load data from that panel. |
| Panel F: MK-4250 ≤900 mg with a Moderate-fat Meal | EXPERIMENTAL | Participants will receive MK-4250 ≤900 mg tablet by mouth on Day 1 with a moderate-fat meal. The decision to enroll Panel F will be made upon completion of Panel D and evaluation of safety and viral load data from that panel. The decision to enroll Panel F will be made based on evaluation of PK and safety data from other studies with MK-4250. |
