NCT05093972 | NOT YET RECRUITING | Hepatic Insufficiency

Ulonivirine (MK-8507) in Participants With Mild or Moderate Hepatic Impairment (MK-8507-014)
Sponsor:

Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of a single oral dose of ulonivirine in participants with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (HI). It is hypothesized that the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from dosing to (extrapolated) infinity (AUC0-∞) in participants with mild or moderate HI is similar to that of healthy control participants.
