Study Arms (4)

Evobrutinib: Treatment Sequence A, B, C, D

EXPERIMENTAL

Participant will receive single oral dose of evobrutinib after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours (Treatment A) for 3 days, followed by within 30 minutes after start of a light meal (Treatment B) for 2 days, followed by 1 hour prior to a low-fat meal (Treatment C) for 2 days, followed by 2 hours after start of low-fat meal (Treatment D) for 2 days. There will be 48 hours washout period between each treatment period.

Drug: Evobrutinib

Evobrutinib: Treatment Sequence B, D, A, C

EXPERIMENTAL

Participant will receive single oral dose of evobrutinib within 30 minutes after start of a light meal (Treatment B) for 3 days, followed by 2 hours after start of a low-fat meal (Treatment D) for 2 days, followed by after an oversight fast of at least 10 hours (Treatment A) for 2 days, followed by 1 hour prior to a low-fat meal (Treatment C) for 2 days. There will be 48 hours washout period between each treatment period.

Drug: Evobrutinib

Interventions

Evobrutinib DRUG

Participants will receive single oral dose of evobrutinib either after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours (Treatment A), within 30 minutes after start of a light meal (Treatment B), 1 hour prior to a low-fat meal (Treatment C), or 2 hours after start of a low-fat meal (Treatment D).

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 55 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Participants are overtly healthy as medical evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and cardiac monitoring
• Participants are stable non-smokers for at least 3 months preceding screening
• Male or female participants agree to be consistent with local regulations on contraception methods
• Female participants are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following condition applies:
• Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or
• If a WOCBP, use a highly effective contraceptive method (that is, with a failure rate of less than (\<) 1 percent per year, preferably with low user dependency for the following time period:
• Before the first dose of the study intervention, if using hormonal contraception:
• Has completed at least one 4-week cycle of an oral contraception pill and either had or has begun her menses or
• Has used a depot contraceptive or extended-cycle oral contraceptive for least 28 days and has a documented negative pregnancy test using a highly sensitive assay and
• A barrier method
• During the intervention period
• After the study intervention period (that is after the last dose of study intervention is administered) for at least 90 days, plus 30 days (a menstrual cycle) after the last dose of study intervention and agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for reproduction during this period. The Investigator evaluates the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relationship to the first dose of study intervention
• Females have a negative serum pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (example: an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required
• Male participants should agree to the following during the study intervention period and for at least 3 months
• after the last dose of study intervention:

You may not qualify if:

• History or presence of clinically relevant respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, haematological, lymphatic, neurological, cardiovascular, psychiatric, musculoskeletal, genitourinary, immunological, dermatological, connective tissue diseases or disorders.
• Prior history of cholecystectomy or splenectomy, and any clinically relevant surgery within 6 months prior to screening
• History of any malignancy
• History of chronic or recurrent acute infection or any bacterial, viral, parasitic or fungal infections within 30 days prior to screening and at any time between screening and admission, or hospitalization due to infection within 6 months prior to screening
• History of shingles within 12 months prior to screening
• History of drug hypersensitivity, ascertained or presumptive allergy/hypersensitivity to the active drug substance and/or formulation ingredients
• History of alcoholism or drug abuse within 2 years prior to screening, or evidence of such abuse as indicated by the laboratory assays conducted during screening
• History of residential exposure to tuberculosis, or a positive QuantiFERON® test within 4 weeks prior to screening
• Administration of live vaccines or live-attenuated virus vaccines within 3 months prior to screening
• Any condition, including findings in the laboratory tests, medical history, or other screening assessments, that in the opinion of the Investigator constitutes an inappropriate risk or a contraindication for participation in the study or that could interfere with the study's objectives, conduct, or evaluation
