This study aims to see how the body reacts to empasiprubart, administered using an autoinjector (AI). The study will also look at other effects of empasiprubart, how it works in the body, and if it is safe.
The study consists of 2 parts: parts A and B. In part A, eligible participants will be randomized to receive empasiprubart SC AI via abdomen, empasiprubart SC AI via thigh, or empasiprubart IV (intravenously). In part B, eligible participants will be randomized to receive empasiprubart SC AI via abdomen or empasiprubart IV.
Participants from part A will be in the study for approximately up to 37 weeks . Participants from part B will be in the study for up to approximately 43 weeks.
