Recruiting PHASE1 Multiple Sclerosis

Tests treatment safety and results for Multiple Sclerosis

Official title A Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Processing by the Body of Intravenous and Subcutaneous RO7121932 Administration in Participants With Multiple Sclerosis

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05704361

What this study is testing

What is RO7121932 IV?

RO7121932 IV is an investigational medicine, given as an injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for multiple sclerosis.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single-ascending intravenous (IV) dose (Part 1), a single-ascending subcutaneous (SC) dose (Part 2), and multiple ascending SC doses (Part 3) of RO7121932 in participants with multiple sclerosis (MS).
