Study of RO7121932 for Multiple Sclerosis

This study is looking at a new treatment called RO7121932 for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers want to understand how safe RO7121932 is and how your body processes it when given through a vein (intravenous or IV) or as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous or SC). The study will look for any side effects and how severe they are. You may be able to join if you are 18 to 65 years old, have relapsing or progressive MS, and have not been treated with other MS medications recently. The study aims to enroll 129 participants.

Study design

What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for safety for up to 169 days in Parts 1 and 2, and up to 197 days in Part 3.

Participants with a current diagnosis of epilepsy
Clinically significant cardiac, metabolic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, urologic, endocrinologic, neurologic, pulmonary, psychiatric, dermatologic, allergic, renal, gastrointestinal or other major diseases
History of cancer, including hematologic malignancy and solid tumors, within 10 years of screening. Basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been excised and is considered cured and in situ carcinoma of the cervix treated with apparent success by curative therapy \>1 year prior to screening is not exclusionary
History of inflammatory bowel disease or other clinically significant gastrointestinal disorders
Any concomitant disease that may require treatment with systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants during course of the study
History of currently active primary or secondary (non-drug-related) immunodeficiency
History of hypersensitivity to biologic agents or any of the excipients in the formulation
Only for cohorts where CSF samples are planned to be collected: Participants with a history of spinal cord compression, raised intra-cerebral pressure, clinically significant vertebral joint pathology or any other current abnormalities in the lumbar region which could prevent the lumbar puncture procedure.
Treatment with any approved MS treatment at Screening. Participants may become eligible after completion of a washout period prior to acquiring any screening laboratory tests but should not be withdrawn from therapies for the sole purpose of meeting eligibility for the trial

  • Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4: Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) With Severity of AEs Measured According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5 (NCI CTCAE V5)Day 1 to Day 169 for Part 1 and Part 2; Day 1 to Day 197 for Part 3; Day 1 to Day 253 for Part 4
  • Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4: Change From Baseline in Suicide Risk as Assessed Using the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)Day 1 to Day 169 for Part 1 and Part 2; Day 1 to Day 197 for Part 3; Day 1 to Day 253 for Part 4

    The C-SSRS is an interview-based instrument used to assess baseline incidence of suicidal ideation (SI) and behavior. The assessment includes "yes" or "no" responses for 5 questions, each related to SI (wish to be dead, non-specific active suicidal thoughts, active SI with any methods, active SI with some intent, active SI with specific plan) and suicidal behavior (preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, suicide). Numeric ratings are provided for severity of ideation (if present), from 0 to 5. A score of 0 is assigned if no suicide risk is present. A score of 1 or higher indicates SI or behavior, with 5 being the most severe.

  • Parts 2 and 3: Percentage of Participants With Local Pain at the Site of Injection Assessed Using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)Day 1, 2, 5, 8 for Part 2; Day 1, 2, 5, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36 for Part 3

    VAS is a 100 millimetre (mm) horizontal visual analog scale with values 0 to 100 mm to indicate pain. The following cutpoints on the VAS will be considered in the interpretation of the pain data: no pain (0-4 mm), mild pain (5-44 mm), moderate pain (45-74 mm), and severe pain (75-100 mm). A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.

  • Parts 2 and 3: Percentage of Participants With Local Injection-site Reaction Using Local Injection-site Symptom Assessment (LISSA)Day 1,2, 5, 8 for Part 2; Day 1, 2, 5, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36 for Part 3

    LISSA form will be used to assess the participant's injection site for the following categories of reactions: Burning, Itching, Bruising, Erythema (redness), Hive formation, Induration, Swelling, Ecchymosis, Sensitivity, Papules, Stinging, Blister, Cold sensation, and Other. These reactions will be described using the following scale: Unable to assess, less than a dime (\<18 mm/\<0.7 inches), a dime (18 mm/0.7 inches), a nickel (21 mm/0.8 inches), a quarter (24 mm/1 inch), a half dollar (31 mm/1.2 inches), larger than a half dollar (\>31 mm/\>1.2 inches). A higher score indicates high injection site reactions.
