Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Amendment 1 of the protocol added Panel D (healthy males) based on the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and safety results from Panels A-C. Participants in Panel D will receive single rising oral doses of MK-8150 or placebo in up to 5 treatment periods (Periods 1 through 5) at a dose range of 50 mg to 500 mg of MK-8150. Each treatment period will be approximately 3-4 days apart.
