Trial Purpose
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of MK-1708, and how well elderly people tolerate it. The study will also measure what happens to MK-1708 in a healthy elderly person’s body over time (pharmacokinetic or PK study). Researchers will learn if at least 1 dose level of MK-1708 will be safe, well-tolerated, and will be above a certain level in people’s blood after 24 hours.
