Formulation A (ALS-008176)	Drug	Reference formulation, 60 mg/mL ALS-008176 oral suspension without sweetener/flavor.	Session 1: Sequence 1 Session 1: Sequence 2

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Evaluate in a Double-Blinded Fashion the Taste and Overall Acceptability Profile of Different ALS-008176 Oral Liquid Formulations as Compared to the Reference Formulation (ALS-008176: 60 mg/mL Oral Suspension Without Sweetener/Flavor)	Taste will be assessed using a questionnaire designed for the purpose. The questionnaire will consist of a visual analogue scale to rate 5 items (sweetness, bitterness, aroma type, aroma strength, and smell) as well as overall acceptability.	Up to 2 hours of study drug administration

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Number of participants with adverse events and serious adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability		Up to 6 weeks
