A Study to Evaluate Molnupiravir (MK-4482; MOV) in Participants With Severe Renal Impairment (MK-4482-003)

January 15, 2025 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

An Open-Label, Single-Dose Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Molnupiravir (MK-4482; MOV) in Participants With Severe Renal Impairment

This purpose of this study is to evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of N-hydroxycytidine (NHC), the nucleoside metabolite of molnupiravir, after a single oral dose of 800 mg molnupiravir in participants with severe renal impairment compared to healthy mean matched control participants. This study will also assess the safety and tolerability of molnupiravir in participants with severe renal impairment and the urinary excretion of NHC after a single oral dose of 800 mg molnupiravir in participants with severe renal impairment compared to healthy mean matched control participants. The primary hypothesis is that the plasma PK participants with severe renal impairment will be similar to that observed in the healthy mean matched control participants.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Area Under the Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of N-hydroxycytidine (NHC)
Time Frame: Predose, 0.5,1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours postdose
Blood for plasma samples was collected at pre-specified time points to determine the AUC0-inf of NHC.
Predose, 0.5,1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours postdose
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of NHC
Time Frame: Predose, 0.5,1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours postdose

Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE)
Time Frame: Up to Day 15
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 was therefore any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The number of participants who experienced an AE were reported.
Up to Day 15
