Purpose

The purpose of Part A was to determine whether sutimlimab administration resulted in a greater than or equal to (>=) 2 grams per deciliter (g/dL) increase in hemoglobin (Hgb) levels or increased Hgb to >= 12 g/dL and obviated the need for blood transfusion during treatment in participants with primary cold agglutinin disease (CAD) who had a recent history of blood transfusion. The purpose of Part B was to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of sutimlimab in participants with CAD.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Cold agglutinin syndrome secondary to infection, rheumatologic disease, or active hematologic malignancy. - Clinically relevant infection of any kind within the month preceding enrollment (e.g., active hepatitis C, pneumonia). - Clinical diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus; or other autoimmune disorders with anti-nuclear antibodies at Screening.

BIVV009
Participants with primary CAD who had a recent history of transfusion (defined as at least 1 transfusion during the last 6 months prior to screening) received an intravenous (IV) infusion of BIVV009 6.5 grams (g) (if body weight was less than [<] 75 kilograms [kg]) or BIVV009 7.5 g (if body weight was greater than or equal to [>=] 75 kg) on Day 0 and Day 7 and every 14 days thereafter in Part A up to Week 25. Participants who completed Part A per protocol through the end of treatment visit (Week 26) could continue to receive BIVV009 in Part B, every 2 weeks starting at Week 27 for up to an additional 149 weeks. All participants who completed Part A elected to continue in Part B.
