Study Summary

This study will evaluate the effect of treatment with multiple doses of MK-8457 on systolic blood pressure in participants with mild to moderate hypertension in addition to safety and tolerability. The study hypothesis is that MK-8457 does not increase systolic blood pressure to a clinically significant extent, as measured by 24-hour mean ambulatory systolic blood pressure change from baseline after 10 days of dosing.

Primary Outcome

SBP was measured using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) on Day -1 and Day 10 of each treatment period. The 24-hour least squares (LS) mean ambulatory SBP change from baseline was then determined for Day 10, the last day of multiple dose treatment. Baseline is defined as the average 24-hour SBP for each participant on Day -1. Increased values represent an increase in hypertensive severity.

Interventions

  • DRUG MK-8457
  • DRUG Placebo for MK-8457
