Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - RO7062931
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo
Treatment: Drugs - Immune Modulator

Experimental: Part 1: Single-Ascending Dose (SAD) - Healthy volunteers will be enrolled in up to 8 cohorts with doses starting from 0.1 mg/kg and escalating sequentially after review of safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) data.

Experimental: Part 2: Multiple Ascending Dose - Participants with Chronic Hepatitis B will enrolled in Part 2. In Part 2a, participants will receive two monthly injections of either 3 doses equivalent to a multiple of the saturation dose or placebo in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. In Part 2b, a dose selected from Part 2a will be administered to participants randomized into 4 cohorts where they will be dosed weekly (QW) or bi-weekly (Q2W). Each of the cohorts in Part 2b will include participants receiving active drug or placebo in a 3:1 ratio. In Part 2c, NUC-suppressed CHB participants will receive either RO7062931+NUC for up to 24 weeks, or RO7062931+NUC+an immune modulator for up to 48 weeks, at a dose determined from Part 2a and 2b. Part 2c may also enroll treatment-naive immune-active CHB participants.


Treatment: Drugs: RO7062931
Administered subcutaneously in Parts 1 and 2. Part 1 will be administered in single-ascending doses after 0.1 mg/kg starting dose. Subsequent doses of 0.3, 1, 2 and 4 mg/kg may be administered based upon tolerability. In Part 2a, participants will receive two monthly doses of either 0.4, 0.8, 1.2 times the saturation dose or placebo. In Part 2b, a dose selected from Part 2a will be administered to participants randomized into 4 cohorts QW or Q2W. In Part 2c, participants will receive RO7062831 QW on top of another therapy for up to 24 or 48 weeks.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
Part 1 cohorts: active drug vs placebo 4:1. Part 2a 4 parallel cohorts of 3 active drug doses and placebo in 1:1:1:1. Part 2b active drug vs placebo in 3:1 in 2 parallel cohorts.

Treatment: Drugs: Immune Modulator
Participants in Part 2c will receive an immune modulator subcutaneously QW for up to 48 weeks.
