This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single- and multiple-ascending doses (SAD (Part 1) and MAD (Part 2)) and food effect (FE) of RO6953958 following oral administration in healthy male participants. Part 3 (Drug-drug interaction (DDI)) will assess the safety, tolerability, and effect of RO6953958 on the PK of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A substrate midazolam.

Part 1: RO6953958 will be administered in an adaptive manner. The starting dose is planned to be 5 milligrams (mg). Part 2: The starting dose is planned to be 45 mg. Part 3: RO6953958 will be administered QD following a standardized breakfast on Day 3 to Day 14 at the maximum dose QD that was tested in the ongoing Part 2 (MAD).
Part 1: A placebo will be administered in an adaptive manner. The starting dose is planned to be 5 mg. Part 2: The starting dose is planned to be 45 mg.
Midazolam will be administered as single intervenous (IV) bolus injection of 100 micrograms (ug) on Day 1 and Day 13, and as single oral dose of 300 ug on Day 2 and Day 14.

Parts 1, 2 and 3: Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events
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.
Time frame: 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
Part 2: Number of Participants With Post-baseline Suicide Risk, Assessed Using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
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.
