  • 12. Receipt of biologic therapy such as anti-TNF-α antibodies within 12 weeks prior to investigational product administration.
  • 13. Use of tacrolimus, cyclosporine, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, mycophenolic acid, methotrexate, etc., within 2 weeks prior to investigational product administration.
  • 14. Receipt of neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) antagonist therapy (e.g., efgartigimod, etc.) within 3 weeks prior to investigational product administration.
  • 15. Receipt of complement inhibition therapy (e.g., eculizumab, etc.) within 3 weeks prior to investigational product administration.
  • 16. Vaccination with live attenuated vaccines or mRNA vaccines within 8 weeks prior to enrollment; or inactivated vaccines within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
