Study of a Single Intravenous (IV) Dose of MK-3402 in Participants With Impaired Renal Function and in Healthy Controls (MK-3402-004)

An Open-Label Trial to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of MK-3402 Following Administration of a Single IV Dose to Participants With Mild, Moderate, and Severe Renal Impairment and End-Stage Renal Disease

The purpose of this study is to compare the plasma and urine pharmacokinetics (PK) of MK-3402 in participants with impaired renal function and healthy control participants, to investigate the extent to which MK-3402 is removed from the plasma by hemodialysis (HD), and evaluate the safety and tolerability of MK-3402 in participants with impaired renal function.

• Panel D: Is unable to refrain from or anticipates the use of any medication, including prescription and nonprescription drugs or herbal remedies beginning approximately 2 weeks (or 5 half-lives) prior to administration of the initial dose of study drug, throughout the study (including washout intervals between treatment periods), until the poststudy visit. There may be certain medications that are permitted.
• Has participated in another investigational study within 4 weeks (or 5 half-lives, whichever is greater) prior to study drug administration. The window will be derived from the date of the last dose of study medication in the previous study.
