b. Total, indirect, or direct bilirubin greater than 1.5 x upper limit of normal. Participants with Gilbert’s syndrome with indirect bilirubin outside of the normal range will be excluded from the study.
c. Creatinine clearance less than 80 mL per min (estimated from Cockcroft Gault equation).
d. Amylase and lipase must be within the normal range at screening and Day -1.
5. Nonsmoker and or ex-smoker who has discontinued smoking and or use of nicotine-containing products (including nicotine and non-nicotine vapes) for at least 3 months prior to the first dose of study drug, confirmed by a negative carbon monoxide (CO) breath test at screening and Day -1.
6. Willing to refrain from consumption of caffeine-containing products including, but not limited to, coffee, tea, cola drinks, and chocolate for at least 48 hours prior to the first dose of study drug through to discharge on Day 14.
7. Females must be either amenorrheic for greater than or equal to 1 year or with FSH greater than 40 mIU/mL at screening if amenorrheic less than 1 year); or surgically sterile (having undergone bilateral tubal ligation, hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy) for at least 6 months. However, to protect against the transfer of the study drug in any bodily fluids, male partners of female participants (whether postmenopausal or surgically sterile) must use a barrier form (e.g., condom) of contraception until the EOS visit or 7 days after the last dose of study drug in case of early study termination.
8.

Males must also refrain from sperm donations during this time period. Males who are abstinent will not be required to use a contraceptive method unless they become sexually active. Males in a same sex relationship must also use a barrier form of contraception against the transfer of the study drug in any bodily fluids until the End of Study visit or 7 days after the last dose of study drug in case of early termination.

Summary
Brief summary
In this trial, we are trying to evaluate the potential interactions of an experimental new drug NB-4746 with other drugs that may be used by patients suffering from Motor Neurone Disease or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). NB-4746 blocks certain processes in nerve cells that promote axonal degeneration, and has shown potential for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in preclinical studies. This drug-drug interaction study is conducted to characterize the potential of NB-4746 to interact with caffeine and midazolam, two probe drugs dependent on CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 metabolism, respectively. Results from this study will support the design of future clinical trials in patient settings.
