- Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs) [ Time Frame: Day 1 through Day 169 ]An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Serious adverse event is any AE that resulted in death, life threatening, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in offspring of a study participant, is an important medical event that may jeopardize the participant or may require medical intervention. TEAEs are defined as events present at baseline that worsened in intensity after administration of study drug or events absent at baseline that emerged after administration of study drug.
- Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent AEs of Special Interests (AESIs) [ Time Frame: Day 1 through Day 169 ]An AESI (serious or non-serious) is one of scientific and medical interest specific to understanding of study drug and may have required close monitoring, collection of additional information by investigator and rapid communication by investigator to the sponsor.
- Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of VIB4920 [ Time Frame: Dose 1: Post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 1, pre-dose on Day 15; Dose 7: Pre- and post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 85; and on Days 92, 99, 113, 141, and 169 ]Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of VIB4920 is reported.
- Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of VIB4920 [ Time Frame: Dose 1: Post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 1, pre-dose on Day 15; Dose 7: Pre- and post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 85; and on Days 92, 99, 113, 141, and 169 ]Time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) of VIB4920 is reported.
- Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve of the Dosing Interval (AUCtau) of VIB4920 [ Time Frame: Dose 1: Post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 1, pre-dose on Day 15; Dose 7: Pre- and post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 85; and on Days 92, 99, 113, 141, and 169 ]Area under the plasma concentration time curve of the dosing interval (AUCtau) of VIB4920 is reported.
- Dose Normalized AUCtau of VIB4920 [ Time Frame: Dose 1: Post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 1, pre-dose on Day 15; Dose 7: Pre- and post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 85; and on Days 92, 99, 113, 141, and 169 ]Dose normalized AUCtau of VIB4920 is reported. Dose normalized AUCtau is calculated by dividing AUCtau by the dose of administered VIB4920 (in mg).
- Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve From Time Zero to Extrapolated Infinite Time (AUC0-inf) of VIB4920 [ Time Frame: Post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 1, pre-dose on Day 15; pre- and post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 85; and on Days 92, 99, 113, 141, and 169 ]Area under the plasma concentration time curve from time zero to extrapolated infinite time (AUC0-inf) of VIB4920 is reported.
- Systemic Clearance (CL) of VIB4920 [ Time Frame: Dose 1: Post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 1, pre-dose on Day 15; Dose 7: Pre- and post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 85; and on Days 92, 99, 113, 141, and 169 ]Systemic clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the body.
- Terminal Elimination Half-life (t½) of VIB4920 [ Time Frame: Dose 1: Post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 1, pre-dose on Day 15; Dose 7: Pre- and post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 85; and on Days 92, 99, 113, 141, and 169 ]Terminal elimination half-life (t½) is the time required for half of the drug to be eliminated from the plasma.
- Volume of Distribution at Steady State (Vss) of VIB4920 [ Time Frame: Dose 1: Post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 1, pre-dose on Day 15; Dose 7: Pre- and post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 85; and on Days 92, 99, 113, 141, and 169 ]Volume of distribution at steady state (Vss) of VIB4920 is reported.
- Accumulation Ratio (AR) of VIB4920 [ Time Frame: Dose 1: Post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 1, pre-dose on Day 15; Dose 7: Pre- and post-dose (end of infusion) on Day 85; and on Days 92, 99, 113, 141, and 169 ]Accumulation ratio of VIB4920 is reported. Accumulation ratio was determined using AUCtau, Dose 7/AUCtau, Dose 1.
- Number of Participants With Positive Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADA) Titer to VIB4920 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose on Days 1, 29, 57, and 85; and on Days 141, and 169 ]The number of participants with positive antibodies to VIB4920 are reported.
