Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Number of Participants Who Experienced a Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) During Cycle 0 and Cycle 1 Based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 3.0 (CTCAE v 3.0)
Through Cycle 0 and Cycle 1 (Up to 42 days)

During Cycle 0, a DLT was defined as: CTCAE v 3.0 Grade 3 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia lasting ≥3 days; any CTCAE v 3.0 Grade 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia; neutropenic fever; any CTCAE v. 3.0 ≥ Grade 3 QT interval corrected by Fridericia (QTcF) prolongation of any duration; any other CTCAE v 3.0 Grade 3 or higher nonhematologic toxicity; or Grade 3 elevation of transaminases that resolved prior to administration of next dose(s) of study drug(s); delay in Cycle 1 Day 1 beyond 3 weeks due to continuing toxicity. During Cycle 1, a DLT was defined as: CTCAE v 3.0 Grade 4 neutropenia that persists for ≥7 days; neutropenic fever; CTCAE v 3.0 Grade 4 thrombocytopenia; CTCAE v 3.0 ≥ Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding; any CTCAE v 3.0 QTc ≥ Grade 3 QTcF prolongation of any duration; any other CTCAE v 3.0 Grade 3 or higher nonhematologic toxicity; or Grade 3 elevation of transaminases that resolved prior to administration of next dose(s) of study drug(s).

Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE)
Up to approximately 72 weeks (Up to approximately 6 weeks after last dose of study treatment)

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered study treatment which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could have been any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g. an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to study treatment. The number of participants who experienced an AE is presented.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AE
Up to approximatey 66 weeks

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered study treatment which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could have been any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g. an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to study treatment. The number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE is presented.

MK-8776 Area Under the Curve of the Plasma Concentration Versus Time From Time Zero to the Time of the Last Analytically Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-last)
At end of infusion of MK-8776 (Cycle 0) or gemcitabine (Cycle 1), and at 0.25, 1, 3, 6, 8, 24 and 48 hours after completion of MK-8776 infusion
Time of MK-8776 Cmax (Tmax)
At end of infusion of MK-8776 (Cycle 0) or gemcitabine (Cycle 1), and at 0.25, 1, 3, 6, 8, 24 and 48 hours after completion of MK-8776 infusion
