Clinical Trial Summary

The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of itraconazole, a strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitor, on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of emraclidine and metabolite CV-0000364 in Part A, the effect of carbamazepine, a strong CYP3A4 inducer, on the PK of emraclidine and metabolite CV-0000364 in Part B, and to evaluate the effect of emraclidine on the PK of metformin in Part C in healthy adult participants.

• Any of the following clinical laboratory test results at the Screening Visit or Check-in (Day -1), which can be confirmed by a single repeat measurement, if deemed necessary:

• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > upper limit of normal (ULN).

• Total bilirubin >ULN. If Gilbert's syndrome is suspected, total bilirubin >ULN is acceptable if the conjugated or direct bilirubin fraction is <20% of total bilirubin.

• Hypokalemia (potassium levels < lower limit of normal [LLN] millimoles per liter [mmol/L]), and/or hypomagnesemia (magnesium levels <1.2 milligrams per deciliter [mg/dL]; <0.5 mmol/L), and/or hypocalcemia (corrected serum calcium <8.0 mg/dL or ionized calcium <1.0 mmol/L).

Exclusion Criteria for Part B:

• Participants positive for human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*1502 or HLA-A*3101.

• Family history of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS).

• Family history of porphyria.

• History of cardiac conduction disturbance including second- and third-degree atrioventricular heart block.

• Any of the following clinical laboratory test results at the Screening Visit or Check-in (Day -1), which can be confirmed by a single repeat measurement:

• Platelets, white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, or hemoglobin <LLN.

• Serum sodium <LLN.

• Any of the following clinical laboratory test results at the Screening Visit or Check-in (Day -1), which can be confirmed by a single repeat measurement, if deemed necessary:

• AST or ALT >ULN.

• Total bilirubin >ULN. If Gilbert's syndrome is suspected, total bilirubin >ULN is acceptable if the conjugated or direct bilirubin fraction is <20% of total bilirubin.

Exclusion Criteria for Part C:

• Any of the following clinical laboratory test results at the Screening Visit or Check-in (Day -1), as assessed by the central laboratory and confirmed by a single repeat measurement, if deemed necessary:

• AST or ALT =2 × ULN.

• Total bilirubin >1.5 × ULN. If Gilbert's syndrome is suspected, total bilirubin >1.5 × ULN is acceptable if the conjugated or direct bilirubin fraction is <20% of total bilirubin.

• Female participants who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during IMP treatment or within 7 days after the last dose of IMP. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result at the Screening Visit and a negative urine pregnancy test result at Check-in.

Secondary	Changes in Suicidality Assessed Using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) Score	The C-SSRS includes 'yes' or 'no' responses for assessment of suicidal ideation and behavior as well as numeric ratings for the severity of ideation, if present (from 1 to 5, with 5 being the most severe). Greater lethality or potential lethality of suicidal behaviors (endorsed on the behavior subscale) indicates increased risk.	Up to end of treatment in each part of the study (up to an average of 15 days)
