Summary
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.Phase:

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:FOR HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS ONLY - PART 1 -
- A Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18 to 30 kg/m2 inclusive and a body weight of at least
50 kg.
- Women should be of non-childbearing potential. A woman is considered to be of
childbearing potential if she is post-menarcheal but has not reached a post-menopausal
state and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus).
- Men must agree to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use
contraceptive measures during treatment and up to 105 days after the last dose, and
agree to refrain from donating sperm.
- Non-smoker (nor tobacco containing products) for at least 90 days prior to dosing on
Day 1 and agree to remain as non-smoker during the study.
FOR CHB PARTICIPANTS ONLY - PARTS 2a and 2b:
- A BMI between 18 to 32 kg/m2 inclusive.
- Chronic hepatitis B (HBV) infection.
- Positive test for HBsAg for more than 6 months prior to randomization and HBsAg titer
≥ 10^3 IU/mL at screening.
- On entecavir, tenofovir, adefovir or telbivudine treatment for at least 6 months prior
to randomization and will remain on stable treatment during the study.
- HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ≤ 90 IU/mL for at least the preceding 6 months.
- Screening laboratory values (hematology, chemistry, urinalysis) obtained up to 56 days
prior to first study treatment within normal ranges.
- Liver biopsy, fibroscan® or equivalent test obtained within the past 6 months
demonstrating liver disease consistent with chronic HBV infection without evidence of
bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis
- Women should be of non-childbearing potential. A woman is considered to be of
childbearing potential if she is post-menarcheal but has not reached a post-menopausal
state and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus).
- Men must agree to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use
contraceptive measures during treatment and up to 105 days after the last dose, and
agree to refrain from donating sperm.
FOR CHB PARTICIPANTS ONLY - PART 2c
- BMI between 18 to 32 kg/m2 inclusive
- CHB infection (HBsAg-positive for at least 6 months)
- For NUC-suppressed CHB participants: Must have been treated with a single NUC for at
least 12 months, and have been on the same NUC therapy for at least 3 months prior to
screening; HBV DNA
screening); alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 6
months prior to screening and confirmed at screening; total bilirubin within normal
range at screening, except for patients with Gilbert's syndrome
- For treatment-naive and immune-active participants: HBV DNA at screening >/=2x10^4
IU/mL for HBeAg positive participants, or >/=2x10^3 IU/mL for HBeAg negative
participants; elevated serum ALT>2 ULN to of which is at screening and that are at least 14 days apart; total bilirubin within
normal range except for participants with Gilbert's syndrome
- Screening laboratory values (hematology, chemistry, urinalysis) obtained up to 28 days
prior to first study treatment within normal ranges
- Liver biopsy, fibroscan, or equivalent test obtained within the last 6 months
demonstrating liver disease consistent with chronic HBV infection without evidence of
bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis
- Women should be of non-childbearing potential
- Men must agree to remain abstinent or use contraception, and agree to refrain from
donating sperm
