Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of nipocalimab when compared to placebo in decreasing the risk of fetal anemia (a condition in which a baby's red blood cell volume falls below normal levels while the baby is developing in the womb) with live neonates in pregnant participants at risk for severe hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant and an estimated gestational age (GA) (based on ultrasound dating) fromWeek 13^0/7 to Week 16^6/7 at randomization

  • History of severe Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN) in a priorpregnancy defined as:

  1. documented fetal anemia, or received greater than or equal to (>=)1 IUT as aresult of HDFN or

  2. fetal loss or neonatal death as a result of HDFN, with maternal alloantibodytiters for Rhesus antigen D protein (RhD), Kell, Kell Rhesus antigen C protein (Rhc), Rhesus antigen E protein (RhE), or RhC antigen above the critical levels (anti-Kell >=4; other >=16) and evidence of an antigen-positive fetus

  • During the current pregnancy, presence of maternal alloantibody to RhD, Rhc, RhE, orRhC antigen with titers above the critical level (anti-Kell >= 4; other >=16) basedon the designated central lab results at screening

  • Evidence of antigen-positivity corresponding to the current maternal alloantibody (RhD, Kell, Rhc, RhE, or RhC) confirmed by non-invasive antigen cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) performed at the central laboratory.

  • Have screening laboratory values within the study protocol-specified parameters: a)albumin, >=2.6 grams (g) per deciliter (g/dL), international system (SI): >=26 gramper liter (g/L); b) alanine transaminase (AST) less than or equal to (<=) 2 × upperlimit of normal (ULN); c) alanine transaminase (ALT) <=2 × ULN d) creatinine <=0.8milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), SI: <=70.7 micromole per liter (μmol/L), and Serumtotal immunoglobulins G (IgG) ≥ 600 mg/dL SI: >=6 g/L

  • Otherwise healthy on the basis of physical examination, medical history, vitalsigns, 12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory tests performed at screening.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Currently pregnant with a multiple gestation (twins or more)

  • Evidence of fetal anemia prior to randomization in the current pregnancy

  • Current uncontrolled hypertension

  • History of myocardial infarction, unstable ischemic heart disease, or stroke

  • Has any confirmed or suspected clinical immunodeficiency syndrome or has a familyhistory of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency unless confirmed absent in theparticipant

  • Has inflammatory or autoimmune diseases requiring immunosuppressive therapies thatmay jeopardize the safety of the participant

  • Currently has a malignancy or has a history of malignancy within 3 years beforescreening (with the exception of localized basal cell carcinoma and/or squamous cellcarcinoma skin cancer that has been adequately treated with no evidence ofrecurrence for at least 3 months

  • Is currently receiving systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants fordisorders unrelated to the pregnancy

  • Has received or planning to receive plasmapheresis, immunoadsorption therapy,intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), or any immunoglobulin (Ig)G fragmentcrystallizable (Fc)-related protein therapeutics during the current pregnancy

  • Has a severe infection including opportunistic infections

  • Presence of abnormal (protocol-specified) hematologic laboratory values duringscreening

  • History of severe preeclampsia prior to GA Week 34 or severe fetal growthrestriction (estimated fetal weight <3rd percentile, based on local fetal growthnormative standards) in a previous pregnancy
