A Study to Assess Potential Interaction Between ASP8062 and Alcohol in Healthy Adult Subjects

Participants will be admitted to the clinical unit on day -1 of each period and will be residential for 6 days/5 nights. Participants will be discharged from the clinical unit on day 5 of each period on the condition that all required assessments have been performed and that there are no medical reasons for a longer stay in the clinical unit. Participants will return to the clinical unit on days 7 and 10 for pharmacokinetic blood sampling.
