Brief Summary  

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of co-administration of itraconazole, a strong cytochrome P450 CYP3A inhibitor, or co-administration of phenytoin, a strong CYP3A inducer on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single 50mg dose of LXE408. In addition, the safety and tolerability of a single dose of LXE408 with or without the co-administration of itraconazole or phenytoin will be evaluated. The study will be conducted in healthy participants. type of the treatment is oral drug administration and study type is interventional study.

This study is an open-label, single-sequence, two-part, two-period, crossover drug-drug interaction (DDI) study designed to evaluate the PK of a single-dose of 50 mg LXE408 in healthy participants when given alone and during multiple dosing of 200 mg itraconazole QD (Part 1) or phenytoin 100 mg TID (Part 2). The study consists of 2 separate and independent parts, Part 1 and Part 2, with 2 separate groups of participants enrolled. Each of the 2 study parts comprises a screening period of up to 28 days, a baseline evaluation (on Day -1 of Period 1) and 2 treatment periods. Participants who meet the eligibility criteria at the screening and baseline assessments on Day-1 of Period 1 will be admitted to the study site and will remain domiciled until the Study Completion (End of Study, EOS). A participant will be enrolled in either of the parts.

Approximately 20 male or female participants 18 to 55 years of age will be enrolled and dosed with the aim to have at least 16 evaluable participants in each part. Additional participants may be enrolled if participants discontinue from the study for reasons other than safety.
