Brief Summary

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

The goal of the study is to learn what happens to levels of MK-0616 in the blood when MK-0616 is given in different forms. Researchers believe that there is no effect on a healthy person's body if MK-0616 is given in different forms.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Sequence 1: MK-0616 Reference capsule→MK-0616 Formulation 1 (F1)→MK-0616 Formulation 2 (F2)

Period 1: Participants receive MK-0616 reference capsule single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 1 = 15 days). Period 2: Participants receive MK-0616 F1 single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 2 = 15 days). Period 3: Participants receive MK-0616 F2 single dose on Day 1 orally (Period 3 = 15 days). A washout period of 14 days will separate Period 1, Period 2 and Period 3.
