A Single- and Multiple-Dose Study of Enlicitide Chloride (MK-0616) in Healthy Chinese Adult Participants (MK 0616-010)

February 3, 2025 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A Single- and Multiple-Dose Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of MK-0616 in Healthy Chinese Adult Participants.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of enlicitide chloride and how well people tolerate it. Researchers also want to learn what happens to different amounts of enlicitide chloride in a healthy person's body over time.
