Change From Baseline in Plasma HIV-1 Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) at 168 Hours Post-Dose
Time Frame: Baseline, 168 hours post-dose
|
Plasma samples were collected from participants after a single dose of MK-8504 to assess viral load.
The log10 plasma HIV-RNA (copies/mL) measurements from participants in each panel were pooled and analyzed based on a longitudinal data analysis model.
Change from baseline to 168 hours post-dose was determined for each treatment group.
Results are expressed as change in HIV RNA log10 (copies/mL).
|
Baseline, 168 hours post-dose

|
Number of Participants Who Experienced At Least One Adverse Event (AE)
Time Frame: From Day 1 through Post-Trial Visit (up to 25 days)
|
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.
An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure.
Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, was also an AE.
The number of participants experiencing at least one AE was reported for each arm.
