ArmTypeDescription
Multiple Ascending Dose BFKB8488AEXPERIMENTALParticipants will be randomized to receive BFKB8488A. When adequate safety data are available, a review will be done for all participants to make a dose-escalation or dose and/or regimen modification decision. This will be repeated for each cohort.
PlaceboPLACEBO_COMPARATORParticipants will receive BFKB8488A-matching placebo.
BFKB8488A SCEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive single ascending SC dose of BFKB8488A in each dose escalation cohort.
BFKB8488A IVEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive single IV dose of BFKB8488A.
