A Study to Investigate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of RO7565020 in Healthy Participants and in Participants With Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection

About the study

This is a first in human (FIH), multi-center, dose-finding, and dose-escalation Phase I clinical study of RO7565020 to investigate the safety and tolerability and to characterize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics following single and/or multiple doses of RO7565020 in healthy participants and/or virologically suppressed participants with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
