A Single-Dose Clinical Trial to Study the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Anti-Retroviral Activity of MK-8527 Monotherapy in Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART)-Naïve, HIV-1 Infected Participants

Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC·interventional·Posted Aug 10, 2022·Updated Mar 26, 2025

In Brief

A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating MK-8527 for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 4 sites in 2 countries.

Detailed Summary

This is a single-dose clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and anti-retroviral activity of MK-8527 in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve participants living with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. The primary hypothesis is that, at a dose that is safe and generally well tolerated, MK-8527 will have antiretroviral activity as measured by a reduction from baseline in plasma HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) of ≥1.0 log10 copies/mL. A total of 4 arms was initially planned but Arm D was never initiated as the primary objectives were achieved following completion of Arms A to C.
