Summary

This study will investigate whether the plasma concentration-time profile and pharmacokinetics (PK) of suvorexant (MK-4305) in participants with impaired renal function are similar to those observed in healthy participants; and will evaluate the safety and tolerability of suvorexant both in participants with impaired renal function and in healthy participants.

Healthy Participants:

  • Females of reproductive potential must have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use (and/or have their partner use) two acceptable methods of birth control
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) ≤40 kg/m^2 and is matched for BMI ± 5 units to his/her corresponding renal participant
