Background summary
This formulation selection study will evaluate the candidate PMF1 (preliminary
market formulation 1) and PMF2 tablet formulations and their associated
systemic pharmacokinetics when administered under fed conditions following a
high fat meal or under fasted conditions in the absence & presence of a
histamine (H2)-receptor antagonist, in order to select a formulation for later
stage clinical development.
Study objective
Primary:
1. To assess the pharmacokinetic profiles following single dose administration
of MK-8408 administered as a PMF1 tablet by means of AUC0-*, AUClast, AUC0-24,
Cmax, C24, tmax, and t* under fed conditions, following a high fat meal.
2. To assess the pharmacokinetic profile following single dose administration
of MK-8408 administered as a PMF1 tablet by means of AUC0-*, AUClast, AUC0-24,
Cmax, C24, tmax, and t* under fasted conditions, in the absence and presence of
famotidine.
3. To assess the pharmacokinetic profiles following single dose administration
of MK-8408 administered as a PMF2 tablet by means of AUC0-*, AUClast, AUC0-24,
Cmax, C24, tmax, and t* under fed conditions, following a high fat meal.
4. To assess the pharmacokinetic profile following single dose administration
of MK-8408 administered as a candidate preliminary market formulation PMF2
tablet by means of AUC0-*, AUClast, AUC0-24, Cmax, C24, tmax, and t* under
fasted conditions, in the absence and presence of famotidine.
Study design
Open-Label, Single Dose, 4-Period, 4-Way Randomized Crossover Study to be
conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practices.
Intervention
The study will start with a screening visit. During the screening visit
standard medical assessments including safety laboratory tests (blood draw,
urine collection), an alcohol breath test, urine drug screen, a physical
examination, ECG and a vital signs measurement willbe performed.
For 4 periods during the study, the subjects will stay in the clinic for 3 days
and return to the unit the following 2 days. Between the dosings at least 10
washout days are required. Two weeks after the last dosing, a follow-up will
occur. During all the (ambulant) visits and during the stays in the unit,
subjects will be asked on a regular base for possible side effects, blood will
be drawn for safety, PK measurements and other standard safety assessment (VS,
ECG, lab safety tests,*) can be performed during these days.
Study burden and risks
Single doses of MK-8408 have been generally safe and well-tolerated by the
subjects in the first studywith MK-8408. No serious adverse experiences have
been reported and no subject has been discontinued by the Investigator. Adverse
experiences have been mild to moderate in intensity and transient in duration.
Twelve (12) subjects have reported adverse experiences. Since the trial is
still blinded, it is not known if these adverse events were experienced by
subjects receiving active drug or placebo. The reported adverse experiences are
headache (19),photophobia (1), nausea (1), sore throat (1), and ecchymosis at
the site of a blood draw (1). There have been no consistent treatment-related
changes in laboratory, vital signs, or ECG safety parameters.

Inclusion criteria
1. Be a healthy man or woman, aged 18 to 45 years, (inclusive).
2. Have a body mass index (BMI) 18.0 to 30.0 kg/m2, (inclusive).
3. Have a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and vital signs within normal range at Screening, judged by the Investigator.
4. Be judged by the investigator to be in good health based on previous medical history, physical examination, vital sign measurements, and laboratory safety tests at Screening and/or on Day -1 of Period 1.
5. Be free of any clinically significant disease and have no history of any infectious disease within 4 weeks of the first dose that would interfere with study evaluations.
6. The male subject must
• use two methods of contraception in combination with their partner, if the female subject or female partner of a male subject is of childbearing potential; this combination of contraceptive methods must be used from the start of the study until at least 3 months after the last dose of IMP. At least one of the contraception methods must be a barrier contraception method. Contraceptive methods allowed include the following: condoms; diaphragm in combination with a spermicide; intrauterine device (IUD); contraception implants; *mini pills* (with gestagens only); injectable gestagens; combination hormonal contraceptive methods (tablets, patch, or vaginal ring with both ethinylestradiol and gestagen), OR
• not be sexually active at enrolment in the study and accept using double-barrier contraception should they become sexually active during or within 3 months after the last dose of IMP, OR ;Male subjects with female partners must:
• have been surgically sterilised prior to inclusion,OR
• have a partner who is post-menopausal and has had her last natural menstruation at least 24 months prior to inclusion, OR
• have a partner who has had a hysterectomy prior to inclusion, OR
• have a partner who has been surgically sterilised prior to inclusion, AND
• agree not to donate sperm during participation in the trial and up to 3 months after
follow up visit.
7. Female subjects of childbearing potential must demonstrate a serum β-hCG level consistent with the nongravid state at the pretrial(screening) visit and agree to use (and/or have their partner use) two (2) acceptable methods of birth control beginning at the pretrial visit throughout the trial (including washout intervals between treatment periods/panels) and until 2 weeks after the last dose of trial drug in the last treatment period. Acceptable methods of birth control two (2)of the following: intrauterine device (IUD-with or without local hormone release, no other hormonal birth control is allowed), diaphragm, cervical cap, contraceptive sponge, and /or condoms. Abstinence is an alternative life style and subjects practicing abstinence may be included in the trial. ;A female subject of non-childbearing potential is defined as:
• a female who is postmenopausal without menses for at least 1 year and an FSH value in the postmenopausal range upon pretrial (screening) evaluation,
and/or
• a female who is status post hysterectomy, oophorectomy or tubal ligation. Documented hysterectomy or oophorectomy must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure or confirmed by an ultrasound. Tubal ligation
must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure otherwise the subject will be excluded. Information must be captured appropriately within the site's source documents. A female subject, who doesnot meet the entry criteria for
a female of non-childbearing potential (based on the postmenopausal criteria or medically documented surgical sterilization), may be enrolled following the same criteria as for a female subject of childbearing potential (i.e. she agrees to a pre-trial β-hCG pregnancy test and to use two forms of approved birth control or practice abstinence).
8. Be a non-smoker or has not used nicotine or nicotine-containing products for at least 3 months prior to the screening.
