SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to approximately 14 days

Population: All allocated participants who received a dose of intervention.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. Number of participants who experienced an AE were reported.

Urine samples were collected at pre-specified time points (baseline and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 336 hours postdose) to evaluate the reduction in free PCSK9 from baseline to up to 336 hours postdose after administration of MK-0616. The percent change from baseline in free PCSK9 was reported.
