The main objectives of this phase 1 trial are to evaluate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (i.e. how long and how much a compound is present in the blood) of ACT-541468 and to evaluate whether ACT-541468 can affect the pharmacokinetics of midazolam, a CYP3A4 substrate.
Food effect will be assessed by comparing the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of a single dose of ACT-541468 under fasted (Treatment B) and fed (Treatment C) conditions. Potential CYP3A4 inhibiting / inducing effects of ACT-541468 will be assessed by comparing the PK parameters of midazolam alone (Treatment A) and midazolam given with a single dose of ACT-541468 (Treatment B) or with multiple doses of ACT-541468 (Treatment D).

Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of ACT-541468
Cmax is directly determined from the plasma concentrations-time curves of ACT-541468
Time frame: PK blood samples on Day 2, Day 4 and Day 8: before administration of ACT-541468 and up to 24 hours post-dose, and on Day 6 and Day 7: before ACT-541468 administration only
Time to reach Cmax (tmax) of ACT-541468
Tmax is directly determined from the plasma concentrations-time curves of ACT-541468
Time frame: PK blood samples on Day 2, Day 4 and Day 8: before administration of ACT-541468 and up to 24 hours post-dose, and on Day 6 and Day 7: before ACT-541468 administration only
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC(0-24)] of ACT-541468
AUC is calculated from time zero to 24 hours post dose
