Summary

Researchers designed a trial medicine called MK-7262 to lower levels of Lp(a) in the blood. Researchers want to learn about giving MK-7262 with another trial medicine called enlicitide (also known as MK-0616 or enlicitide decanoate). Enlicitide is in a group of medicines that lower the amount of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).

The goals of this trial are to evaluate:

* if MK-7262 and enlicitide taken together work better than placebo at lowering Lp(a) and LDL-C levels in the blood
* if MK-7262 alone works better than placebo at lowering Lp(a) levels in the blood
* the safety and tolerability of taking MK-7262 and enlicitide alone and together
