A Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Effects of MK-0974 (Telcagepant) on Exercise Tolerance in Patients With Stable Angina (MK-0974-014)

Summary

This study will assess the safety of telcagepant in coronary artery disease (CAD) participants with stable angina during exercise treadmill testing and evaluate whether calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonism by telcagepant reduces exercise tolerance in these participants. Primary hypothesis is that telcagepant does not significantly decrease exercise duration compared to placebo, as measured by a treadmill exercise test; that is, the true treatment difference in exercise duration (MK-0974 - Placebo) \>= -60 seconds.
