Brief summary

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of lasmiditan in healthy Japanese and Caucasian participants. The study will also investigate how much lasmiditan gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to get rid of lasmiditan when given to Japanese and Caucasians. The study will last up to 47 days for each participant.

Pre-assignment details

Crossover study with three study periods, each participant received single/repeated oral doses of 50, 100, 200, 400, or 2 X 200 milligram (mg) lasmiditan, placebo, or 2 X placebo, according to their assigned treatment sequence, on Day 1 of each Period. The washout period between dosing in consecutive study periods was approximately 72 hours.
