Official title: A Randomized, Sponsor-Open, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Subcutaneous Administration of RO7062931 With Single Ascending Doses in Healthy Volunteers and Multiple Doses and Modified Regimens in Virologically Suppressed Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection
This randomized study will be conducted in two parts to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous administration of RO7062931. Part 1 will include only healthy participants and Part 2 will include only participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Part 1 is an adaptive, single-ascending dose study with an adaptive dose-escalating schedule to determine the best dose to be evaluated in participants with CHB. Part 2 is an adaptive, parallel multiple-dose study comprised of three sub-parts which will be used to further refine the dose and dosing regimen, and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RO7062931 when administered with standard-of-care (SoC) therapy.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
RO7062931Drug
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.
PlaceboDrug
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.
Immune ModulatorDrug
Participants in Part 2c will receive an immune modulator subcutaneously QW for up to 48 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Part 1: Single-Ascending Dose (SAD) | Experimental | 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. Receives: Drug: RO7062931; Drug: Placebo |
| Part 2: Multiple Ascending Dose | Experimental | 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. Receives: Drug: RO7062931; Drug: Placebo; Drug: Immune Modulator |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and AEs of Special Interest
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.
AEs of Special Interest were defined as: i.) elevated ALT/AST in combination with elevated bilirubin/clinical jaundice, ii.) suspected transmission of infectious agent by the study drug, iii.) severe injection site reactions, iv.) ALT elevation ≥10x ULN, v.) creatinine elevation ≥1.5x ULN or ≥50% from baseline.
Measured: Up to day 113
Percentage of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities Based on Hematology, Blood Chemistry, Coagulation, and Urinalysis Test Results - Part 1
Marked reference range has been predefined for each laboratory parameter. The marked reference range is broader than the standard reference range. Values falling outside the marked reference range that also represent a defined change from baseline will be considered marked laboratory abnormalities (i.e., potentially clinically relevant). If a baseline value is not available for a study subject, the midpoint of the standard reference range will be used as the study participant baseline value for the purposes of determining marked laboratory abnormalities.
Measured: Screening, Days -1, 2, 8, 15, 29, 85

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This randomized study will be conducted in two parts to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous administration of RO7062931. Part 1 will include only healthy participants and Part 2 will include only participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Part 1 is an adaptive, single-ascending dose study with an adaptive dose-escalating schedule to determine the best dose to be evaluated in participants with CHB. Part 2 is an adaptive, parallel multiple-dose study comprised of three sub-parts which will be used to further refine the dose and dosing regimen, and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RO7062931 when administered with standard-of-care (SoC) therapy.

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and AEs of Special Interest
Time frame: Up to day 113
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. AEs of Special Interest were defined as: i.) elevated ALT/AST in combination with elevated bilirubin/clinical jaundice, ii.) suspected transmission of infectious agent by the study drug, iii.) severe injection site reactions, iv.) ALT elevation ≥10x ULN, v.) creatinine elevation ≥1.5x ULN or ≥50% from baseline.
Percentage of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities Based on Hematology, Blood Chemistry, Coagulation, and Urinalysis Test Results - Part 1
Time frame: Screening, Days -1, 2, 8, 15, 29, 85
Marked reference range has been predefined for each laboratory parameter. The marked reference range is broader than the standard reference range. Values falling outside the marked reference range that also represent a defined change from baseline will be considered marked laboratory abnormalities (i.e., potentially clinically relevant). If a baseline value is not available for a study subject, the midpoint of the standard reference range will be used as the study participant baseline value for the purposes of determining marked laboratory abnormalities.

What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Dec 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and AEs of Special Interest (time frame: Up to day 113). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03038113, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
