Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of RO7303509 treatment in participants with systemic sclerosis (SSc) during a multiple-ascending-dose (MAD) portion of the trial. In the MAD phase, increasing doses of study drug will be tested sequentially. For each dose tested, the MAD stage will consist of a treatment period of 12 weeks followed by either a safety follow-up period of 13 weeks or continued treatment in an optional open-label safety extension (OSE) stage of 52 weeks to assess the long-term safety. All patients in the OSE stage will receive RO7303509 and no patient will receive placebo.

Arm Groups

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Experimental
MAD Stage
Participants will be randomized in a ratio of 4:1 to receive RO7303509 or placebo, as subcutaneous (SC) injection, one time per month for 3 months. You have a 20% chance of getting placebo.
  • Drug: RO7303509
    RO7303509 will be administered as SC injection monthly, as specified in each treatment group.
  • Drug: Placebo
    RO7303509 matching placebo will be administered as SC injection monthly, during the MAD stage.
Experimental
OSE Stage
Every participant in the OSE stage will receive study drug and no participant will receive placebo. Participants will receive RO7303509 as SC injection at the same dose as that administered during the MAD stage, one time per month for up to a year.
  • Drug: RO7303509
    RO7303509 will be administered as SC injection monthly, as specified in each treatment group.
