ulcer disease, GI hemorrhage, or history of pancreatitis); clinically significant
cardiovascular (including postural hypotension), endocrine, renal, ocular, pulmonary
or neurological disease.

- History of having received or currently receiving any systemic anti-neoplastic

Summary
Brief summary
This sponsor-open, investigator- and participant-blinded, multi-center study will assess the
safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of RO7020531 in healthy
participants and in participants with chronic hepatitis B. Part I will be conducted in two
portions: Single Ascending Dose (SAD) and Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) which will include
only healthy volunteers. Part II will commence after completion of the MAD portion of Part I
and will include only Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) participants.
