Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Incidence of adverse events following administration of UCB7858 [Cohort 1-10: Day 1 up to Day 72 Cohort 11: Day 1 up to Day 120]

Secondary Outcome Measures

1. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) [Cohort 1-10: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 72 Cohort 11: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 120]

2. Time to reach Cmax (tmax) [Cohort 1-10: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 72 Cohort 11: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 120]

3. Area under the curve from time 0 to time t, the time of last quantifiable concentration [AUC(0-t)] [Cohort 1-10: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 72 Cohort 11: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 120]

4. Area under the curve from 0 to infinity (AUC) [Cohort 1-10: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 72 Cohort 11: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 120]

5. The terminal plasma half-life (t1/2) following intravenous administration [Cohort 1-10: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 72 Cohort 11: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 120]

6. Plasma clearance (CL) of UCB7858 following intravenous administration [Cohort 1-10: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 72 Cohort 11: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 120]

7. Volume of distribution (Vss) for UCB7858 at steady state following intravenous administration [Cohort 1-10: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 72 Cohort 11: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 120]

8. Apparent volume of distribution (Vss/F) of UCB7858 following subcutaneous administration [Cohort 1-10: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 72 Cohort 11: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 120]

9. Apparent plasma clearance (CL/F) of UCB7858 following subcutaneous administration [Cohort 1-10: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 72 Cohort 11: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 120]

10. Mean absolute bioavailability (F) of UCB7858 given subcutaneously, using the ratio of geometric mean AUCs for subcutaneous (sc) administration and intravenous (iv) infusion (AUC_sc/AUC_iv) [Cohort 1-10: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 72 Cohort 11: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 120]

11. Concentration of UCB7858 at the end of infusion (Cinf) [Cohort 1-10: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 72 Cohort 11: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 120]

12. Time at the end of infusion of UCB7858 (tinf) [Cohort 1-10: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 72 Cohort 11: Predose (Day 1) up to Day 120]
