  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of JNJ-77474462 [Up to Day 85]

      Cmax is defined as the maximum observed serum concentration of JNJ-77474462.

    2. Time to Reach Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Tmax) of JNJ-77474462 [Up to Day 85]

      Tmax is defined as the time to reach maximum observed serum concentration of JNJ-77474462.

    3. Area Under the Serum Concentration Versus Time Curve from Time Zero to Infinity (AUC [0-Infinity]) of JNJ-77474462 [Up to Day 85]

      AUC (0-infinity) is defined as the area under the serum concentration of JNJ-77474462 versus time curve from time zero to infinity with extrapolation of the terminal phase.

    4. Area Under the Serum Concentration Versus Time Curve from Time Zero to the Time Corresponding to the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC [0-Last]) of JNJ-77474462 [Up to Day 85]

      AUC (0-Last) is defined as the area under the serum concentration of JNJ-77474462 versus time curve from time zero to the time corresponding to the last quantifiable concentration.

    5. Terminal Half-life (T1/2) of JNJ-77474462 [Up to Day 85]

      T1/2 will be reported. T1/2 is defined as the terminal half-life of JNJ-77474462.

    6. Apparent Total Systemic Clearance after Extravascular Administration (CL/F) of JNJ-77474462 [Up to Day 85]

      CL/F is defined as the apparent total systemic clearance after extravascular administration of JNJ-77474462.

    7. Apparent Volume of Distribution Based on Terminal Phase After Extravascular Administration (Vz/F) of JNJ-77474462 [Up to Day 85]

      Vz/F is defined as the apparent volume of distribution based on terminal phase after extravascular administration of JNJ-77474462.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants with Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) by Severity [Up to Day 85]

      Percentage of participants with TEAEs by severity will be reported. An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Any AE occurring at or after the initial administration of study intervention through Day 85 is considered to be treatment-emergent. Severity will be assessed based on the following categories: a) Mild: Awareness of symptoms that are easily tolerated, causing minimal discomfort and not interfering with everyday activities, b) Moderate: Sufficient discomfort is present to cause interference with normal activity and c) Severe: Extreme distress, causing significant impairment of functioning or incapacitation. Prevents normal everyday activities.

    2. Percentage of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [Up to Day 85]

      Percentage of participants with SAEs will be reported. A SAE is any AE that results in: death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, is life-threatening experience, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product, is medically important to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

    3. Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Changes in Vital Signs [Up to Day 85]

      Number of participants with clinically significant changes in vital signs (temperature, pulse/heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure) will be reported.

    4. Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Changes in Electrocardiograms (ECGs) [Up to Day 85]

      Number of participants with clinically significant changes in ECGs will be reported.

    5. Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Changes in Hematology Parameters [Up to Day 85]

      Number of participants with clinically significant changes in hematology parameters will be reported.

    6. Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Changes in Chemistry Parameters [Up to Day 85]

      Number of participants with clinically significant changes in chemistry parameters will be reported.

    7. Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Changes in Urinalysis [Up to Day 85]

      Number of participants with clinically significant changes in urinalysis will be reported.

    8. Number of Participants with Presence of Antibodies to JNJ-77474462 [Up to Day 85]

      Number of participants with presence of antibodies to JNJ-77474462 will be reported. The detection and characterization of antibodies to JNJ-77474462 will be performed using a validated drug-tolerant method.
