Plain English Summary

Background and Study Aims
This is a drug-drug interaction (DDI) study to investigate the effect of DNL343 on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of oral midazolam (MDZ). A DDI study is conducted to see how the two drugs interact in the body; evaluating PK is figuring out how participants' bodies handle a drug or drugs in combination.

Who Can Participate?
Healthy volunteers aged 18 to 65 years.

What does the Study Involve?
The total duration of each participant’s involvement in the study will be approximately 53 days from screening through follow-up.

What are the Possible Benefits and Risks of Participating?
Healthy volunteers will not receive any health benefit (beyond that of an assessment of their medical status) from participating in the study. The risks of participation are primarily those associated with adverse reactions to the study interventions and procedures. DNL343 has been extensively evaluated in nonclinical studies (ie, animal studies and studies done with cells in a petri dish) and evaluation in clinical studies to characterize its safety profile.

Where is the study run from?
Denali Therapeutics Inc. (USA)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
November 2022 to June 2023

Who is funding the study?
Denali Therapeutics Inc. (USA)
