Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of MK-1029 in Participants With Mild to Moderate Asthma (NCT NCT01370317)

NCT ID: NCT01370317

Last Updated: 2019-01-25

Results Overview

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a study participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to the medicinal product.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 and Day 28: Predose, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours postdose

Population: All participants who received study drug and had evaluable concentration values for AUC0-6 hours on Day 1 and Day 28

Blood was collected on Day 1 and Day 28 at predose and 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 hours postdose for determining the Cmax of MK-1026.
