Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Placebo-corrected Change From Baseline in Corrected QT Interval by Fridericia' Formula (QTcF) for Evobrutinib
A linear mixed-effects model was used to analyze the relationship between evobrutinib and MSC2729909A concentrations and ΔQTc. Based on this model, drug-induced ΔΔQTc and its two-sided 90% CI was predicted over the clinical concentration range and at concentrations corresponding to the observed geometric mean Cmax following administration of 45 mg and 225 mg evobrutinib. The higher geometric mean Cmax calculated based on the PK and ECG Analysis Sets was considered.
Baseline and from 1 hour before any administration until 24 hours post-administration at the following timepoints: -1-hour, 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 24 hours
Secondary Outcomes (22)
Placebo-corrected Change From Baseline in Corrected QT Interval by Fridericia' Formula (QTcF) for Moxifloxacin
From 1 hour before any administration until 24 hours post-administration at the following timepoints: -1-hour, 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 24 hours

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Participants are overtly healthy as determined by medical evaluation, including no clinically significant abnormality identified on physical examination or laboratory evaluation and no active clinically significant disorder, condition, infection, or disease that would pose a risk to participant safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures, or completion
- Participants have a body weight within 50.0 and 100.0 kilograms (kg) (inclusive) and body mass index (BMI) within the range 19.0 and 30.0 kilograms per square meter (kg/m\^2) (inclusive)
- Participants are stable nonsmokers for at least 3 months preceding the first administration of study intervention
You may not qualify if:
- Participants with history or presence of clinically relevant respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, hematological, lymphatic, neurological, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, genitourinary, immunological, dermatological, connective tissue, psychiatric (due to rare risk of hallucinations, agitation, and activation of psychosis), and other diseases or disorders, and epilepsy, as determined by medical evaluation
- Participants with diagnosis of hemochromatosis, Wilson´s disease, alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency, or any other chronic liver disease including Gilbert's disease will be excluded from the study. Prior history of cholecystectomy or splenectomy, and any clinically relevant surgery within 6 months prior to the first administration of study intervention
- Participants with history of any malignancy
- Participants with history of seizures
- Participants with history of pharmacologically treated psychiatric disease
