A Study to Evaluate the Effect of MK-8669 (Ridaforolimus) on QTc Interval in Participants With Advanced Cancer (MK-8669-037)

Summary

To assess the potential for ridaforolimus to prolong the QTc interval (an effect on the electrical activity of the heart) in participants with advanced cancer. This study will be done in 2 parts. Part 1 (Pt 1) will evaluate the effect of a single 100 mg dose of ridaforolimus on QT interval in participants with advanced cancer. Fridericias's correction (QTcF) will be used.
