---|---|---|
Healthy | Drug: Danicopan | Phase 1 |
This will be an open-label, randomized, single-dose, 3-period, 3-treatment crossover study in participants of Japanese descent.
On Day 1 of each period, participants will receive a single oral dose of 200 milligrams (mg) danicopan under fasting conditions, 200 mg danicopan under fed conditions, or 400 mg danicopan under fed conditions. Participants will receive each treatment once, according to the randomization schedule. There will be a washout period of at least 7 days between each dose of study intervention.
Safety will be assessed throughout the study.
