Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Percentage of Participants Who Prefer MK-3475A Subcutaneous (SC) on Patient Preference Questionnaire (PPQ) Question 1 The PPQ is an instrument that has been developed from participant interviews and includes questions to evaluate directly from participants their preference regarding mode of administration, as well as the strength of the preference, and the reason for the preference. Question 1 in PPQ evaluates participants' preferred method of administration with response options of IV, SC or no preference. The percentage of participants who prefer SC will be reported. ~Day 106
Secondary Percentage of Responses From Participants to the Two Main Reasons for Their Preferred Method of Administration as Assessed on PPQ Question 3 The PPQ is an instrument that has been developed from patient interviews and includes questions to evaluate directly from participants their preference regarding mode of administration, as well as the strength of the preference, and the reason for the preference. Question 3 in PPQ evaluates two main reasons for participants' preference for one of the administration methods with response options of feels less emotionally distressing, requires less time in the clinic, lower level injection-site pain, among others. The percentage of responses from participants to the two main reasons for their preferred method of administration, as assessed on PPQ Question 3 will be reported. ~Day 106
Secondary Percentage of Participants by Their Level of Satisfaction With the SC Method of Administration as assessed on Therapy Administration Satisfaction Questionnaire - Subcutaneous (TASQ-SC) Question 1 The TASQ SC is a 12-item questionnaire that asks questions regarding different aspects of participants' satisfaction with SC administration, experiences related to administration, convenience, time. Question 1 in TASQ SC evaluates participants' satisfaction or dissatisfaction with SC administration. The percentage of participants by their level of satisfaction with the SC method of administration as assessed on TASQ-SC Question 1 will be reported. Up to ~Day 106
Secondary Percentage of Participants by Their Level of Satisfaction With the IV Method of Administration as assessed on Therapy Administration Satisfaction Questionnaire -Intravenous (TASQ-IV) Question 1 The TASQ IV is a 12-item questionnaire that asks questions regarding different aspects of participants' satisfaction with IV administration, experiences related to administration, convenience, time. Question 1 in TASQ IV evaluates participants' satisfaction or dissatisfaction with IV administration. The percentage of participants by their level of satisfaction with the IV method of administration as assessed on TASQ-IV Question 1 will be reported. Up to ~Day 106
Secondary Percentage of Participants Who Choose MK-3475A SC for the Study Treatment Continuation Period The percentage of participants who choose SC treatment for the continuation period in the study will be reported. ~Day 106
Secondary Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE) An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Up to ~27 months
Secondary Number of participants who discontinue study drug due to an AE An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Up to ~24 months
