Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Part 1: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Dosing to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of MK-7655 in Combination With PRIMAXIN®
Predose and 0.08, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4.5, 6, 8, 10, and 14 hours postdose

AUC0-∞ is a measure of the mean (extrapolated) plasma drug concentration after dosing to infinity.

Dialysis Clearance (CLD) of MK-7655 in Participants With End-stage Renal Diseases Requiring Hemodialysis (ESRD/HD)
1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, and 4.5 hours postdose

The CLD of MK-7655 was determined in ESRD/HD participants for 4.5 hours during HD. The formula for calculating CLD was: CLd = (1-Hct)\*QB\*\[(pre-dialyzer concentration - post-dialyzer concentration) / (pre-dialyzer concentration)\] where QB=350 mL/min and Hct=hematocrit.

Extraction Coefficient of MK-7655 in Participants With End-stage Renal Diseases Requiring Hemodialysis (ESRD/HD)
1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, and 4.5 hours postdose

The extraction coefficient of MK-7655 was determined in ESRD/HD participants for 4.5 hours during HD. The formula for calculating extraction coefficient was: Extraction Coefficient = ABS\[100\*(post-dialyzer concentration - pre-dialyzer concentration) / pre-dialyzer concentration\].

Secondary Endpoints
Part 1: Concentration at End of Infusion (Ceoi) of MK-7655 in Combination With PRIMAXIN®
At 0.5 hours postdose
Part 1: Predicted Clearance (CLpred) of MK-7655 in Combination With PRIMAXIN®
Predose and 0.08, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4.5, 6, 8, 10, and 14 hours postdose
Part 1: Predicted Volume of Distribution During the Terminal Phase (VZpred) of MK-7655 in Combination With PRIMAXIN®
Predose and 0.08, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4.5, 6, 8, 10, and 14 hours postdose

In Part 2, participants receive an oral cocktail containing caffeine 200 mg, midazolam 2 mg, and omeprazole 40 mg predialysis (Part 2, Period 1) and postdialysis (Part 2, Period 2).
Panel H Healthy VolunteersEXPERIMENTALA subset of healthy control participants were matched specifically to participants in Panel G and receive a single dose of MK-7655 125 mg + PRIMAXIN® 250 mg IV in Part 1. In Part 2, participants receive an oral cocktail containing caffeine 200 mg, midazolam 2 mg, and omeprazole 40 mg.
