Researchers are looking for new weight loss medicines for people with higher body weight. The study medicine, MK-4082, is different from similar weight loss medicines because people take it as a pill instead of an injection. Before giving a study medicine to people with a health condition, researchers first do studies to find a safe dose level (amount) and formulation (version) of the study medicine that can be used in future studies.
The goals of this study are to learn about:
The safety of different formulations of MK-4082 and if people tolerate them What happens to different formulations of MK-4082 in a person's body over time
Inclusion Criteria:
The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:
Exclusion Criteria:
The main exclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:
Participants will be administered daily oral doses of MK-4082 formulation 1 (F1) and MK-4082 formulation 2 (F2) in a fixed sequence over the first 4 weeks, with only one formulation administered on any given day. In week 5, participants will be administered daily oral doses of MK-4082 F2 for 7 days followed by daily oral doses of MK-4082 F1 for 7 days.
