Brief Summary

This study will examine the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of IB-001, and will be conducted in two parts: Part A: SAD study in approximately 60 Healthy Volunteers (HV). Part B: MAD study in approximately 30 adult participants living with Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB).

Conditions

Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Part A and Part B: Incidence and Severity of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs).

  Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) are adverse events that first appear or worsen in severity during the course of the clinical study, regardless of whether they are related to the investigational product (IP) or not. TEAEs will be coded using MedDRA and summarized by SOC, PT, severity, and relationship to IP. Treatment-related AEs (possibly/probably/definitely related) will also be summarized separately. A by-participant AE listing will be provided

  Through Day 29 (Part A), through Day 64 (Part B).

• Part A and Part B: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) by Severity

  An AE is any unfavorable medical occurrence in a study participant administered an investigational product. The AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. All AEs will be graded for severity according to NCI-CTCAE classification. If an appropriate AE term is not found in NCI-CTCAE, the AE will be graded as follows: Grade 1 (mild); Grade 2 (Moderate); Grade 3 (Severe); Grade 4 (Severe) and Grade 5 (Death).

  Through Day 29 (Part A), through Day 64 (Part B)

• Part A and Part B: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) of Special Interest (AESIs)

  AEs of special interest include Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), Injection Site Reactions (ISRs) and Unexplained Liver Biochemistry Elevations. Reported AESIs will be graded according to NCI-CTCAE classification. If an appropriate AE term is not found in NCI-CTCAE, the AESI will be graded as follows: Grade 1 (mild); Grade 2 (Moderate); Grade 3 (Severe); Grade 4 (Severe) and Grade 5 (Death).

  Through Day 29 (Part A), through Day 64 (Part B)

• Part A and Part B: Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Changes in Laboratory Parameters

  Assessment Method - Number of participants with clinical laboratory abnormalities (serum chemistry, hematology, and coagulation) will be reported.

  Through Day 15 (Part A), through Day 64 (Part B)

• Part A and Part B: Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Changes in Vital Signs.

  Number of participants with vital signs abnormalities will be reported. Vital signs include body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure.

  Through Day 15 (Part A), through Day 64 (Part B)

• Part A and Part B: Number of Patients with Clinically Significant Changes in Cardiac Parameters.

  Number of participants with electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities will be reported.

  Through Day 15 (Part A), through Day 64 (Part B)

Secondary Outcomes (8)

• Part A and Part B: Number of Patients with Clinically Significant Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs).

  Through Day 29 (Part A), through Day 64 (Part B)

• Part B: Changes from Baseline in HBsAg levels over time.

  Through Day 64 (Part B)

• Part B: Change from Baseline in Anti-HBs Antibody Titers over time.

  Through Day 64

• Part B: Reduction from Baseline in HBV DNA levels over time.

  Through Day 64

• Part A and Part B: PK Parameter - Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of IB-001

  Through Day 29 (Part A), through Day 64 (Part B)

Study Arms (2)

Arm 1: IB-001

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants receive IB-001, administered subcutaneously according to the assigned cohort schedule. In Part A (SAD), participants receive a single ascending dose. In Part B (MAD), participants receive once-weekly dosing for 4 weeks.

Drug: IB-001

Arm 2: Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants receiving placebo subcutaneously, following the same dosing schedule as the active arm (single dose in SAD; once-weekly for 4 weeks in MAD).

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

IB-001 DRUG

Subcutaneous (SC) injectable formulation; single ascending dose in HVs (Part A) and multiple ascending weekly doses for 4 weeks in CHB participants (Part B). Exact dose levels recommended by SRC review.

Arm 1: IB-001

Placebo DRUG

Subcutaneous (SC) injection; no active ingredients.

Arm 2: Placebo
