A Study to Evaluate Molnupiravir (MK-4482; MOV) in Participants With Severe Renal Impairment (MK-4482-003)

Summary

This purpose of this study is to evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of N-hydroxycytidine (NHC), the nucleoside metabolite of molnupiravir, after a single oral dose of 800 mg molnupiravir in participants with severe renal impairment compared to healthy mean matched control participants. This study will also assess the safety and tolerability of molnupiravir in participants with severe renal impairment and the urinary excretion of NHC after a single oral dose of 800 mg molnupiravir in participants with severe renal impairment compared to healthy mean matched control participants. The primary hypothesis is that the plasma PK participants with severe renal impairment will be similar to that observed in the healthy mean matched control participants.
