About this trial

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

Qualifiers

Pregnant and an estimated gestational age (GA) (based on ultrasound dating) from Week 13^0/7 to Week 18^6/7 at randomization

fetal anemia as result of HDFN or fetal hydrops as result of HDFN or received greater than or equal to (>=)1 IUT as a result of HDFN or

fetal loss or neonatal death as a result of HDFN, with maternal alloantibody titers 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, or RhC antigen with titers above the critical level (anti-Kell >= 4; other >=16) based on the designated central lab results at screening

Disqualifiers

Currently pregnant with a multiple gestation (twins or more)

Evidence of fetal anemia prior to randomization in the current pregnancy

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

Current uncontrolled hypertension
