A Study of the Effect of Multiple Doses of Rifampin on the Single Dose Pharmacokinetics of RO5424802
This single center, open-label, 3-period, fixed-sequence study will evaluate the effect of
 multiple oral doses of rifampin on the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of RO5424802 in
 healthy volunteers. Subjects will receive a single dose of RO5424802 on Days 1 and 17 and
 rifampin daily from Days 8 to Day 20.

 -  Nonsmoking subjects and former smoking subjects (who have not smoked for the past six
 months before first dosing)

 -  Female subjects must be surgically sterile or postmenopausal for the past year

 -  History (within three months of Screening) of alcohol consumption exceeding 2 standard
 drinks per day on average (1 standard drink = 10 grams of alcohol). Alcohol
 consumption will be prohibited 72 hours prior to entry in the clinical site center and
 throughout the entire study (including the washout period) until discharge

 -  Positive for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV infection

 -  Participation in an investigational drug or device study within 45 days or 5
 half-lives (whichever time period is longer) or 6 months for biologic therapies prior
 to first dosing

 -  Any clinically significant concomitant disease or condition that could interfere with,
 or for which the treatment of might interfere with, the conduct of the study,
 absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of study medication, or that would,
 in the opinion of the PI, pose an unacceptable risk to the subject in this study

 -  History of hypersensitivity to any of the additives in the RO5424802 formulation
 (lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate,
 hydroxypropyl cellulose, sodium lauryl sulphate, magnesium stearate)

 -  Any history of hypersensitivity to or contraindication to the use of rifampin or other
