Summary

The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and tolerability of single rising doses of MK-8723 in healthy adult participants and adult participants with chronic immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) and to assess pharmacodynamics of MK-8723 in participants with ITP. The primary hypothesis is that the true placebo-adjusted platelet response rate to MK-8723 in adult patients with chronic ITP is \>50%.
