Intervention

Drug:
Basimglurant
Participants will receive once-daily oral basimglurant capsules in a multiple ascending dose regimen. Basimglurant dose will be titrated over 22 days; dose escalations will be separated by at least 4 days, with the final dose administered for a minimum of 14 days. The minimum starting dose will be 1.5 mg, which can be titrated up to a maximum dose of 4.0 mg. Intrapatient dose increments will not exceed 1.0 mg every 4 days.
Placebo
Participants will receive 22 days of once-daily oral matching placebo capsules.
