NCT ID NCT07348237
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This early-stage study is testing a single dose of the drug MK-2828 in 24 people with different levels of kidney function, including those with severe kidney failure or on dialysis. The goal is to measure how the drug moves through the body over time and compare it to healthy volunteers. No treatment benefit is expected; the results will guide future dosing recommendations.
