Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with BMI 18–40 kg/m2 who have stable severe renal impairment or are healthy volunteers, with no significant medical history for the healthy group.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with unstable renal function, significant comorbidities, or major medical histories not compatible with the study criteria may not benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This first-in-human study investigates the pharmacokinetics of nemtabrutinib in adults with severe renal impairment compared with healthy participants. It is an interventional Phase 1 trial that uses a single drug administration to characterize absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. The study will assess safety and tolerability alongside exposure in both cohorts, to understand how kidney function affects drug handling. Eligible participants include adults with BMI 18–40 kg/m2, with stable renal function for the RI group, or medically healthy status for controls. The trial is sponsored by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC with a single site in Florida.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Participants may gain closer monitoring and contribute to knowledge about nemtabrutinib’s behavior in kidney disease, which could inform dosing in the future if approved.
How similar studies have gone: Phase 1 pharmacokinetic studies of similar agents in renal impairment have informed dosing in subsequent trials, suggesting potential usefulness for nemtabrutinib data.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following: All participants: * Has a body mass index (BMI) ≥18.0 and ≤40.0 kg/m\^2 Participants with Severe Renal impairment (RI): * The participant has stable renal function as determined by historical measurements. Healthy volunteers: * Is medically healthy with no clinically significant medical history Exclusion Criteria: The main exclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following: Renal Impairment Participants: * History of any illness, other than renal impairment, that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or poses an additional risk to the participant by their participation in the study. Healthy Matched Control Participants: * History of clinically significant endocrine, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hematological, hepatic, immunological, renal, respiratory, genitourinary, or major neurological (including stroke and chronic seizures) abnormalities or diseases. Participants with a remote history of uncomplicated medical events (eg, uncomplicated kidney stones, as defined as spontaneous passage and no recurrence in the last 5 years, or childhood asthma) may be enrolled in the study at the discretion of the investigator
