NCT Number: NCT05912517
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.

Percentage of pregnancies that did not result in fetal loss, IUT, hydrops fetalis, or neonatal death (during the neonatal period) will be reported. Hydrops fetalis is defined as the presence of greater than or equal to(>=)2 abnormal fluid collections in the fetus or neonate, such as ascites, pleural effusions, pericardial effusion, and generalized skin edema (skin thickness greater (>)5 millimeter [mm]). PMA is the time elapsed between the first day of the last menstrual period and birth (gestational age) plus the time elapsed after birth (chronological age).

The Bayley Scales of infant development is considered the standard assessment of early child development and includes cognition, language, motor skills, social emotional, and adaptive behavior will be reported. The Bayley Scales (3rd edition) are reference standards that measure infant and toddler development in five areas: cognition, language, motor skills, social-emotional and adaptive behavior. The cognition, language and motor skills scales are directly administered to the infant, while social-emotional, and adaptive behavior scales are caregiver questionnaires. The scores are standardized using norm reference samples with representative demographics and age adjusted for prematurity. Higher scores in the Bayley Scales indicate better outcomes.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 30 during pregnancy and Week 4 postpartum
Change from baseline in GAD7 over time during pregnancy and postpartum will be reported. The GAD-7 scale is a self-administered questionnaire designed to measure anxiety. The recall period for all items is the past 2 weeks. Responses to all items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 "not at all" to 3 "nearly every day". The total score ranges from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating higher severity of anxiety symptoms.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 30 during pregnancy and Week 4 postpartum
Change from baseline in SF-36v2 acute form domain score will be reported. The SF-36 version 2 acute is a self-administered, 36-item questionnaire measuring health-related quality of life and includes 8 domains that measure physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health problems, bodily pain, general health, vitality social functioning, role limitations due to emotional problems, and mental health. The 8 domains can be aggregated into 2 summary scales that reflect physical and mental health: a physical component summary and a mental component summary. Responses to all items are rated on a 3, 5, or 6-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating better health status.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 30 during pregnancy and Week 4 postpartum

The EQ-5D descriptive system is comprised of 5 items across the following 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain or discomfort and anxiety or depression. The EQ-5D-5L uses a 5-point Likert response scale ranging from "no problems" to "extreme problems", with higher scores indicating better quality of life. EQ-5D-5L consists of the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS). EQ-VAS score ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 = worst imaginable health state and 100 = best imaginable health state. Higher score indicates good health state.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 30 during pregnancy and Week 4 postpartum
