Study summary

Researchers are looking for other ways to treat people who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). HFpEF is a type of heart failure where the heart becomes stiff and does not relax properly. MK-2828 is a study medicine designed to treat HFpEF.

The main goal of the study is to learn if MK-2828 affects what happens to rosuvastatin or furosemide in the body.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of Rosuvastatin

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-inf of rosuvastatin.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 2 weeks)

  2. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of Furosemide

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-inf of furosemide.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 2 weeks)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who experience an AE will be reported.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 1 month

  2. Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants in who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be reported.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 weeks

  3. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-last) of Rosuvastatin

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-last of rosuvastatin.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 2 weeks)

  4. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-last) of Furosemide

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-last of furosemide.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 2 weeks)

  5. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to 24 Hours Postdose (AUC0-24) of Rosuvastatin

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-24 of rosuvastatin.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 24 hours)

  6. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Time 0 to 24 Hours Postdose (AUC0-24) of Furosemide

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the AUC0-24 of furosemide.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 24 hours)

  7. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Rosuvastatin

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of rosuvastatin.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 2 weeks)

  8. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Furosemide

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the Cmax of furosemide.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 2 weeks)

  9. Time of the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Rosuvastatin

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of rosuvastatin.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 2 weeks)

  10. Time of the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Furosemide

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the Tmax of furosemide.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 2 weeks)

  11. Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of Rosuvastatin

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the t1/2 of rosuvastatin.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 2 weeks)

  12. Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of Furosemide

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the t1/2 of furosemide.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 2 weeks)

  13. Apparent Total Plasma Clearance (CL/F) of Rosuvastatin

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the CL/F of rosuvastatin.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 2 weeks)

  14. Apparent Total Plasma Clearance (CL/F) of Furosemide

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the CL/F of furosemide.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 2 weeks)

  15. Apparent Volume of Distribution During the Terminal Elimination Phase (Vz/F) of Rosuvastatin

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the Vz/F of rosuvastatin.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 2 weeks)

  16. Apparent Volume of Distribution During the Terminal Elimination Phase (Vz/F) of Furosemide

    Blood samples will be collected to determine the Vz/F of furosemide.

    Time frame: At designated time points (up to approximately 2 weeks)
