Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
This study is testing a drug called BIIB113, which is being developed to treat Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive illness, which means it slowly gets worse. People with Alzheimer’s disease have memory loss and eventually lose their ability to think clearly and carry on their daily activities.
BIIB113 is an experimental drug, which means health authorities have not approved BIIB113 for the treatment of AD or any other disease. BIIB113 along with other approved drugs, itraconazole, phenytoin, and midazolam will be tested in this study. The aim of this study is to determine how the study drug, BIIB113 interacts with these approved drugs.

Who can participate?
Healthy participants aged 18 to 65 years

What does the study involve?
The study includes three parts: Part A (Itraconazole), Part B (Phenytoin), and Part C (Midazolam). Participants will be enrolled in any one part of the study i.e., Part A, Part B, or Part C. Participants from Part A and Part B can enroll in Part C. Participants may be asked to be in the study for a maximum of 54 days.
All parts of this study will have three periods:
1. Screening Period: Participants will undergo certain screening tests and/or procedures to make sure that they are eligible to take part in this study. Participants will have one clinic visit during the screening period which will be done 28 days before the first dose of the study drug.
2. Dosing/Clinic Stay: Participants will receive study drugs during this period. They will be admitted to the clinical site one day (Day -1) before the study drug is administered and they will have to stay in the clinic for a stipulated period. The length of the dosing period will vary based on the part of the study the participants enrol in.
3. Follow-up Visit: Participants will have one check-up visit with the study doctor at the clinic.
The three parts of the study are:
Part A:
Participants will receive BIIB113 by mouth on Days 1 and 11 after an overnight fast of 8 hours. They will also receive itraconazole by mouth on Days 7 to 16 after a fast of 2 hours. Participants will be discharged from the clinic on Day 17 and will have to return to the clinic 6 to 8 days after the last dose of itraconazole for a final check-up.
Part B:
Participants will receive BIIB113 by mouth on Days 1 and 15 after an overnight fast of 8 hours. They will also receive phenytoin by mouth on Days 7 to 20, after a fast of 2 hours. Participants will be discharged from the clinic on Day 21. Participants will have to return to the clinic 4 to 6 days after the last dose of phenytoin for a final check-up.
Part C:
Participants enrolling in Part C will receive midazolam by mouth on Days 1 and 15, after an overnight fast of 8 hours. They will also receive BIIB113 by mouth on Days 2 to 15 after a fast of 2 hours. Participants will be discharged from the clinic on Day 16. Participants will have to return to the clinic 6 to 8 days after the last dose of study medicines for a final check-up. Eligible participants from Part A and Part B who wish to enrol in Part C will have to wait for a period of 14 and 35 days respectively during which no study drug will be administered to them (wash-out period) before participating in Part C.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Participants will be healthy adults and not expected to receive any benefit from participating in this study (beyond that of an assessment of their medical status), but the information that is learned may help further in the clinical development of BIIB113 and for the treatment of people with AD in the future.
The risks of participation are primarily those associated with possible side effects from the treatments or procedures and discomfort from the collection of blood samples and other study procedures in this study. This study is designed to address and mitigate the potential risks to participants. Information about potential risks will be provided to the participants in the informed consent form.
