Treatment and study plan

Crovalimab

Drug

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).

    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].
