Overview
Brief Summary
This is a Phase 2, multiple ascending, dose-finding, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, health-related quality of life, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and immunogenicity, of up to 3 dose regimens of ALXN1830 administered subcutaneous(ly) (SC) in the treatment of WAIHA.
This study will include 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cohorts (Cohorts 1 and 2) to evaluate an 8-week treatment regimen, and an optional third open-label cohort (Cohort 3) to evaluate an alternative 12-week dosing regimen. Participants may continue participation in this study at the participant's and investigator's discretion in an open-label extension (OLE) period, consisting of monthly visits to observe participants for relapse, which will require going back on active treatment.

Arms & Interventions
Cohort 1: ALXN1830/Placebo
Participants will be randomized 3:1 to receive ALXN1830 or placebo. Treatment will be received for 8 weeks followed by a follow-up period (no treatment) for 8 weeks. Once complete, participants may continue participation in the study at the participant's and investigator's discretion during the OLE period for up to 2 years inclusive of primary treatment period.
Intervention: ALXN1830
