Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event (AE)
Up to approximately 21 weeks

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered study treatment and which did not necessarily have to have had a causal relationship with this treatment. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition that was temporally associated with the use of study treatment, was also an AE. Adverse events are reported by dose taken at time of event and not by panel or period. The adverse events for placebo are pooled over periods across panels. The number of participants who experienced at least one AE is presented.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AE
Up to approximately 19 weeks

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered study treatment and which did not necessarily have to have had a causal relationship with this treatment. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition that was temporally associated with the use of study treatment, was also an AE. Discontinuations are reported by dose taken at time of event. The discontinuations for placebo are pooled over periods across panels. The number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE is presented.

ArmTypeDescription
Panel AEXPERIMENTALParticipants receive either a single dose of MK-7252 or Placebo in a fasted state in each of five alternating treatment dosing periods as indicated. The planned dose levels include: Placebo for MK-7252, 1 mg of MK-7252, 6 mg of MK-7252, 24 mg of MK-7252, 72 mg of MK-7252, and 108 mg of MK-7252. There is a minimum of a 7-day washout period between each treatment period or dose administration. The planned dose levels may be adjusted downward or replaced based on evaluation of safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic data observed after previous treatment periods
Panel BEXPERIMENTALParticipants receive either a single dose of MK-7252 or Placebo in a fasted state in each of five alternating treatment dosing periods as indicated. The planned dose levels include: Placebo for MK-7252, 3 mg of MK-7252, 12 mg of MK-7252, 48 mg of MK-7252, 72 mg of MK-7252, and 162 mg of MK-7252. There is a minimum of a 7-day washout period between each treatment period or dose administration. The planned dose levels may be adjusted downward or replaced based on evaluation of safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic data observed after previous treatment periods
Panel CEXPERIMENTALParticipants receive either a single dose of MK-7252 or Placebo in up to 5 treatment dosing periods as indicated: Placebo for MK-7252, 120 mg of MK-7252 in a fasted state, 240 mg of MK-7252, 360 mg of MK-7252, 540 mg of MK-7252, and 120 mg of MK-7252 in a fed state. There is a minimum of a 7-day washout period between each treatment period or dose administration. The planned dose levels may be adjusted downward or replaced based on evaluation of safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic data observed after previous treatment periods
