A Single Dose Study of the Pharmacokinetics of Vibegron (MK-4618) in Participants With Renal Insufficiency (MK-4618-014)

This study will investigate the impact of impaired renal function on the plasma pharmacokinetics of vibegron (MK-4618) to guide use of vibegron in clinical trials in participants with overactive bladder and to guide recommendations on potential dosing adjustments for individuals with varying degrees of renal impairment.

Primary outcomes

  1. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From 0 to Infinity (AUC0-∞) After a Single Oral Dose of Vibegron 100 mg

    Time frame: Predose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 120, 216, and 336 hours postdose
