- Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Part A: Screening (Day -42) up to Day 85, Part B: Screening (Day -77) up to Day 253 ]An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; in the view of the Investigator, places the participant at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event); however, this does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is a medically important event.
- Serum Concentrations of BIIB094 [ Time Frame: Part A: pre-dose through Day 57, Part B: pre-dose through Day 169 ]
- Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUCinf) of BIIB094 [ Time Frame: Part A: pre-dose through Day 57, Part B: pre-dose through Day 169 ]
- Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast) of BIIB094 [ Time Frame: Part A: pre-dose through Day 57, Part B: pre-dose through Day 169 ]
- Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of BIIB094 [ Time Frame: Part A: pre-dose through Day 57, Part B: pre-dose through Day 169 ]
- Time to Reach Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of BIIB094 [ Time Frame: Part A: pre-dose through Day 57, Part B: pre-dose through Day 169 ]
- Terminal Elimination Half-Life (t1/2) of BIIB094 [ Time Frame: Part A: pre-dose through Day 57, Part B: pre-dose through Day 169 ]
