Brief Summary

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

The goal of this study is to learn what happens to different doses of enlicitide chloride over time in the body of healthy participants and participants taking statins, a group of medicines used to reduce the levels of high cholesterol in the bloodstream. The researchers want to learn about the safety of enlicitide chloride when administered at high doses.
