Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of MK-2060 after intravenous (IV) administration of single and multiple doses in older adult participants with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD).

Primary Outcome

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The percentage of participants that experienced an AE was summarized.
