Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Parts 1, 2 and 3: Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events
Part 1: From randomization up to 7 weeks (or up to 14 weeks if the participant is part of the food effect cohort). Parts 2 and 3: From randomization up to 8 weeks

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Part 2: Number of Participants With Post-baseline Suicide Risk, Assessed Using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
From randomization up to 8 weeks

The C-SSRS is a questionnaire that is used to assess a participant's suicidal ideation and behaviors. The categories in the questionnaire have binary responses (yes/no) and include: Wish to be Dead; Non-specific Active Suicidal Thoughts; Active Suicidal Ideation with Any Methods (Not Plan) without Intent to Act; Active Suicidal Ideation with Some Intent to Act, without Specific Plan; Active Suicidal Ideation with Specific Plan and Intent, Preparatory Acts and Behavior; Aborted Attempt; Interrupted Attempt; Actual Attempt (non-fatal); Completed Suicide. Suicidal ideation or behavior is indicated by a "yes" answer to any of the listed categories. A score of 0 is assigned if no suicide risk is present. Categories with non-zero values are reported here.

ArmTypeDescription
Part 1: SAD/FEEXPERIMENTALThere will be 7 cohorts in this study. In each cohort, participants will receive a single oral dose of RO6953958 while fasted. Participants in the fed (FE) cohort will return to receive the same single oral dose of RO6953958 repeated in the fed state.
Part 1: SAD placeboPLACEBO_COMPARATORThere will be 7 cohorts in this study. In each cohort, participants will receive a single oral dose of a placebo while fasted/fed.
Part 2: MADEXPERIMENTALA maximum of 5 dose levels are anticipated. For each dose level, a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 16 participants will receive a multiple oral dose of RO6953958 once daily (QD) for 10 days.
Part 2: MAD placeboPLACEBO_COMPARATORA maximum of 5 dose levels are anticipated. For each dose level, a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 16 participants will receive a multiple oral dose of palcebo QD for 10 days.
Part 3: DDIEXPERIMENTALRO6953958 will be administered at the maximum dose QD that was tested in the ongoing Part 2 (MAD). Participants will also be administered midazolam.
