About

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of E2086 following administration of a single oral doses in healthy adult and elderly participants.

Enrollment: 53 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Non-smoking, male or female, age greater than or equal to (>=) 18 years to less than or equal to (<=) 55 years old (greater than [>] 65 years old for Part B) at the time of informed consent. To be considered non-smokers, participants must have discontinued smoking for at least 4 weeks before dosing.
2. Reports regular bedtime, defined as the time the participant attempts to sleep, between 21:00 and midnight, based on sleep diary data from the Screening Period.
3. Reports regular waketime, defined as the time the participant gets out of bed for the day, between 05:00 and 10:00, based on sleep diary data from the Screening Period.
4. Body mass index (BMI) >=18 to less than (<) 30 kilogram per square meter (kg/m^2) at Screening.

Exclusion criteria

1. Clinically significant illness that requires medical treatment within 8 weeks or a clinically significant infection that requires medical treatment within 4 weeks of dosing

2. Females who are breastfeeding or pregnant at Screening or Baseline (as documented by a positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [ß-hCG] (or human chorionic gonadotropin [hCG]) test with a minimum sensitivity of 25 international units per liter (IU/L) or equivalent units of ß-hCG [or hCG]). A separate baseline assessment is required if a negative screening pregnancy test was obtained more than 72 hours before the dose of study drug.

3. All females who are of childbearing potential:

   • All females will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless they are postmenopausal (amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months, in the appropriate age group, and without other known or suspected cause) or have been sterilized surgically (that is, bilateral tubal ligation, total hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy, all with surgery at least 1 month before dosing).

4. Males who have not had a successful vasectomy (confirmed azoospermia) or they and their female partners do not meet the criteria above (that is, not of childbearing potential or practicing highly effective contraception throughout the study period or for 28 days after study drug discontinuation). No sperm donation is allowed during the study period or for 90 days after study drug discontinuation

5. Evidence of disease that may influence the outcome of the study within 4 weeks before dosing (example, psychiatric disorders and disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidney, respiratory system, endocrine system, hematological system, neurological system, or cardiovascular system)

6. Any history of a congenital abnormality in metabolism at Screening

7. Any history of seizure, epilepsy, or non-epileptic seizures

8. Any history of surgery that may affect PK profiles of E2086 (example, hepatectomy, nephrotomy, digestive organ resection) at Screening

9. Any clinically abnormal symptom or organ impairment found by medical history, physical examinations, vital signs, ECG finding, or laboratory test results that require medical treatment at Screening or Baseline

10. Liver function test values outside of the normal laboratory defined range at Screening or Baseline.

11. Any history of liver disease.

12. Known history of liver function test values outside of the normal laboratory defined range within the last 6 months.

13. Evidence of clinically significant disease (example, cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal disease, sleep disorders) that in the opinion of the investigator(s) could affect the participant's safety or interfere with the study assessments

14. A prolonged QT/QTc interval (QTc >450 milliseconds [ms]) demonstrated on ECG at Screening or Baseline (based on average of triplicate ECGs). A history of risk factors for torsade de pointes (example, heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of long QT Syndrome) or the use of concomitant medications that prolonged the QT/QTc interval

15. Left bundle branch block at Screening or Baseline

16. Persistent systolic BP >130 or <100 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) or diastolic BP >85 or <50 mmHg at Screening or Baseline (based on BP measured on at least 3 occasions over 2 weeks)

17. Persistent heart rate (HR) less than 50 beats/min or more than 100 beats/min at Screening or Baseline (based on HR measured on at least 3 occasions over 2 weeks)

18. History of myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, or cardiac failure at Screening

19. History of clinically significant arrhythmia or uncontrolled arrhythmia

20. Known history of clinically significant drug allergy at Screening or Baseline

21. Known history of food allergies or presently experiencing significant seasonal or perennial allergy at Screening or Baseline

22. Known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive at Screening

23. Active or chronic viral hepatitis (A, B, or C) as demonstrated by positive serology at Screening

24. Active Epstein Barr virus (EBV) as demonstrated by positive serology at Screening

25. History of drug or alcohol dependency or abuse within the 2 years before Screening, or those who have a positive drug test or alcohol test at Screening or Baseline

26. Intake of caffeinated beverages or food within 72 hours before dosing

27. Intake of herbal preparations containing St. John's Wort within 4 weeks before dosing

28. Any lifetime history of suicidal ideation or any lifetime history of suicidal behaviour as indicated by the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS).

29. Any lifetime history of psychiatric disease (including but not limited to depression or other mood disorders, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia, panic attacks, anxiety disorders). The absence of a history of psychiatric disease should be documented by a checklist in the eCRF.

30. Any current psychiatric symptoms as indicated by a standard screening tool (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders [DSM-5] Self-Rated Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure - Adult)

31. Participants who's 1st degree (blood) relatives have lifetime diagnosis of bipolar type I disorder or a psychotic disorder.

32. Use of prescription drugs within 4 weeks before dosing

33. Intake of over the counter (OTC) medications within 2 weeks before dosing
