A Study of Belzutifan (MK-6482) in Participants With Renal Impairment (MK-6482-021)

An Open-Label, Single-Dose Study to Investigate the Influence of Renal Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics of MK-6482

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 Apr 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of belzutifan (MK-6482) following a single oral 120 mg dose in participants with end stage renal disease (ESRD) before and after hemodialysis (HD) to each other and also to that of healthy matched control participants. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single oral 120 mg dose of belzutifan in participants with ESRD and the extent of belzutifan removed by HD.
