Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of JNJ-55308942: 1) high dose at steady state on the single dose pharmacokinetics of a cocktail containing selective probes of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes (CYP3A, CYP2D6 and CYP2C19) in healthy adult participants (Part 1); 2) high dose at steady state on the single dose pharmacokinetics of a combination oral contraceptive containing levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol in healthy female participants (Part 2); and 3) low dose at steady state on the single dose pharmacokinetics of a cocktail containing selective probes of CYP enzymes (CYP3A, CYP2D6 and CYP2C19) in healthy adult participants (Part 3).

Inclusion criteria

* A body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 30.0 kilogram per meter square (kg/m\^2), inclusive (BMI = weight/height\^2) * Healthy on the basis of physical examination, medical history, vital signs, and 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) performed at screening and first admission (Day -1) to the clinical unit. Minor abnormalities in ECG, which are not considered to be of clinical significance by the physician investigator, are acceptable * Healthy on the basis of clinical laboratory tests performed at screening. If the results of the serum chemistry panel \[excluding liver function tests\], hematology \[including coagulation\], or urinalysis are outside the normal reference ranges, the participant may be included only if the investigator judges the abnormalities to be not clinically significant. This determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents and initialed/signed by the physician investigator * All women of child-bearing potential must have a negative highly sensitive serum (beta human chorionic gonadotropin \[beta hCG\]) at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test on Day -1 * A woman must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purposes of assisted reproduction during the study and for at least 1 month after the last study drug administration

Exclusion criteria

* History of or current liver or renal insufficiency; significant skin disease such as, but not limited to, dermatitis, eczema, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, drug rash, psoriasis or urticaria, significant cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurologic, hematologic (including coagulation disorders), rheumatologic, psychiatric, or metabolic disturbances, any inflammatory illness or any other illness that the Investigator considers should exclude the participant * History of or current positive testing for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis B core (HBcAb) or hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV) positive, or other clinically active liver disease, or tests positive for HBsAg or anti-HCV at screening * History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive, or tests positive for HIV at screening * History of malignancy within 5 years before screening (exceptions are squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or malignancy that, in the opinion of the investigator, with written concurrence with the sponsor's medical monitor, is considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence) * History of at least drug or alcohol use disorder according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (latest edition DSM-5) criteria within 6 months before screening

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Part 2: AUC(0-infinity) of Levonorgestrel and Ethinyl EstradiolPredose, 15min, 30min, 45min, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 18h on Days 1 and 14AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the analyte concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z); wherein AUC(last) is area under the analyte concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time, C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration, and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant.
Part 2: Cmax of Levonorgestrel and Ethinyl EstradiolPredose, 15min, 30min, 45min, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 18h on Days 1 and 14Cmax is the maximum observed analyte concentration.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Parts 1, 2 and 3: Observed Analyte Concentration Just Prior to the Beginning or at the end of a Dosing Interval (Ctrough) of JNJ-55308942Predose on Days 4 to 11, predose, up to 72 hours postdose on Day 12 (Parts 1 and 3); Predose on Days 5 to 13, predose, up to 120 hour postdose on Day 14 (Part 2)Ctrough is the observed analyte concentration just prior to the beginning or at the end of a dosing interval in a multiple dosing regimen.
Parts 1, 2 and 3: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) as a Measure of Safety and TolerabilityApproximately 10 weeksAn adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.
