Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Part I: Single Participant Cohort (SPC) Dose Escalation
In Part I, RO7444973 is administered intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks (Q3W) at a fixed dose in a single participant per dose level.
|
Drug: RO7444973
RO7444973 solution for infusion will be administered intravenously at a dose and per schedule as specified for the respective cohort. Drug: Tocilizumab Tocilizumab will be used as rescue therapy, in case of clinical presentation of cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Tocilizumab solution for infusion will be administered intravenously at 8 mg/kg for participants >/= 30 kg or at 12 mg/kg for participants < 30 kg.
Other Name: Actemra, RoActemra |
Experimental: Part II: Multiple Participant Cohort (MPC) Dose Escalation
In Part II, RO7444973 is administered IV Q3W at a fixed dose in multiple participants per dose level. Step-up dosing may also be explored.

Drug: RO7444973
RO7444973 solution for infusion will be administered intravenously at a dose and per schedule as specified for the respective cohort. Drug: Tocilizumab Tocilizumab will be used as rescue therapy, in case of clinical presentation of cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Tocilizumab solution for infusion will be administered intravenously at 8 mg/kg for participants >/= 30 kg or at 12 mg/kg for participants < 30 kg.
Other Name: Actemra, RoActemra |
Experimental: Part III: Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) Expansion
Based on emerging data from Part II, an RP2D and dosing regimen will be further investigated in Part III.
