Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of subcutaneous (SC) injections of RO7049665 in healthy volunteers. In addition, pharmacokinetics (PK) of RO7049665, the effects of single doses of RO7049665 on regulatory T-cells as well as the single dose immunogenicity of RO7049665 will be evaluated. This trial plans to evaluate approximately seven single dose-levels of RO7049665 or matching-placebo during dose-escalation in approximately 40 participants.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events	An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.	From baseline up to approximately 8 weeks
Secondary	PK: Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of RO7049665	Blood samples will be taken pre-dose and at multiple time points after dose administration. RO7049665 concentration will be analyzed in serum and the time from SC injection to maximum concentration of RO7049665 will be determined.	Pre-dose on Day 1, post-dose on Day 1 at 2 hours (h), 6 h and 12 h, once daily on Days 2-8, Day 12, Day 15, Day 21, Day 29 and Day 43
Secondary	PK: Maximum Serum Concentration Observed (Cmax) of RO7049665	Blood samples will be taken pre-dose and at multiple time points after dose administration. RO7049665 concentration will be analyzed in serum and the maximum concentration of RO7049665 will be determined.	Pre-dose on Day 1, post-dose on Day 1 at 2 hours (h), 6 h and 12 h, once daily on Days 2-8, Day 12, Day 15, Day 21, Day 29 and Day 43
Secondary	PK: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) from Time 0 to Time of Last Sampling of RO7049665	Blood samples will be taken pre-dose and at multiple time points after dose administration. RO7049665 concentration will be analyzed in serum. AUC from time of drug administration to last blood sampling (AUClast) will be determined in a plot of RO7049665 serum concentration versus time.	Pre-dose on Day 1, post-dose on Day 1 at 2 hours (h), 6 h and 12 h, once daily on Days 2-8, Day 12, Day 15, Day 21, Day 29 and Day 43
Secondary	PK: AUC from Time 0 to infinity (AUCinf) of RO7049665	Blood samples will be taken pre-dose and at multiple time points after dose administration. RO7049665 concentration will be analyzed in serum. AUC from time of drug administration extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf) will be determined in a plot of RO7049665 serum concentration versus time.	Pre-dose on Day 1, post-dose on Day 1 at 2 hours (h), 6 h and 12 h, once daily on Days 2-8, Day 12, Day 15, Day 21, Day 29 and Day 43
Secondary	PK: AUC from Time 0 to Time tau (AUC0-t) of RO7049665	Blood samples will be taken pre-dose and at multiple time points after dose administration. RO7049665 concentration will be analyzed in serum. AUC from time of drug administration to time tau (AUC0-t), which is defined as the time of last measurable serum concentration, will be determined in a plot of RO7049665 serum concentration versus time.	Pre-dose on Day 1, post-dose on Day 1 at 2 hours (h), 6 h and 12 h, once daily on Days 2-8, Day 12, Day 15, Day 21, Day 29 and Day 43
Secondary	PK: Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of RO7049665	Blood samples will be taken pre-dose and at multiple time points after dose administration. RO7049665 concentration will be analyzed in serum. Clearance, which is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated, will be determined.	Pre-dose on Day 1, post-dose on Day 1 at 2 hours (h), 6 h and 12 h, once daily on Days 2-8, Day 12, Day 15, Day 21, Day 29 and Day 43
Secondary	PK: Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F) of RO7049665	Blood samples will be taken pre-dose and at multiple time points after dose administration. RO7049665 concentration will be analyzed in serum. Volume of distribution of RO7049665 will be determined.	Pre-dose on Day 1, post-dose on Day 1 at 2 hours (h), 6 h and 12 h, once daily on Days 2-8, Day 12, Day 15, Day 21, Day 29 and Day 43
Secondary	PK: Half-life (t1/2) of RO7049665	Blood samples will be taken pre-dose and at multiple time points after dose administration. RO7049665 concentration will be analyzed in serum. t1/2 is the time required for the serum concentration of RO7049665 to be reduced to half.	Pre-dose on Day 1, post-dose on Day 1 at 2 hours (h), 6 h and 12 h, once daily on Days 2-8, Day 12, Day 15, Day 21, Day 29 and Day 43
Secondary	Change from Baseline in Regulatory T Lymphocyte (Tregs) Count	Blood samples will be taken for flow cytometry and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) isolation. Markers for quantification of Tregs will be assessed.	Day -1, Pre-dose Day 1; post-dose Day 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15, 29, up to follow-up visit (Day 57)
Secondary	Percentage of Participants with Anti-Drug Antibodies	Anti-drug antibody assays will be used to detect anti-drug antibodies against RO7049665. Samples which are positive for anti-drug antibodies will be further assessed using a neutralizing antibody assay.	Pre-dose Day 1, post-dose Day 8, 15, 29, up to follow-up visit (Day 57)
