What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CrovalimabDrug
Crovalimab will be administered at a dose of 1000 milligrams (mg) intravenous (IV) (for participants with body weight at least 40 (>=) and up to 100 kilograms (kg) or 1500 mg IV (for participants with body weight >=100kg) on Week 1 Day 1. On Week 1 Day 2 and on Weeks 2, 3 and 4, it will be administered at a dose of 340 mg subcutaneously (SC). On Week 5 and every 4 weeks (Q4W) thereafter, it will be administered at a dose of 680 mg SC (for participants with body weight >= 40kg to <100kg) or 1020 mg SC (for participants with body weight >=100kg).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Crovalimab | Experimental | Participants will be enrolled in three cohorts: [1] Naive Cohort - participants who have not been previously treated with complement inhibitor therapy; [2] Switch Cohort - participants who switch to crovalimab from another Complement Component 5 (C5) inhibitor and [3] C5 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (C5 inhibitor) Cohort - participants with documented C5 polymorphism. Receives: Drug: Crovalimab |

Mean Change From Baseline in Fatigue (in Adult Participants only)
Assessed by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Questionnaire.
The FACIT-Fatigue (version 4) assesses self-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function. It consists of 13 items that assess fatigue using a 7-day recall period. Items are scored on a 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much) response scale. Relevant items are reverse scored and all items are summed to create total scores ranging from 0 [worse score] to 52 [better score].

Measured: Up to 8 years
Number of Participants with AEs Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation
Measured: Up to 8 years
