Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of belzutifan (MK-6482) following a single oral 120 mg dose in participants with end stage renal disease (ESRD) before and after hemodialysis (HD) to each other and also to that of healthy matched control participants. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single oral 120 mg dose of belzutifan in participants with ESRD and the extent of belzutifan removed by HD.

Belzutifan in Participants with ESRD

In period 1, participants with ESRD will receive a single, oral dose of belzutifan 120 mg on Day 1 after HD. In period 2, participants with ESRD will receive a single, oral dose of belzutifan 120 mg on Day 1 before HD. Each period is 4 days.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
