Healthy participants will receive a single dose of crovalimab in each dose-escalation cohort of Part 1. Crovalimab will be administered at a starting dose of 75 milligrams (mg) intravenous (IV) infusion. Doses are planned to be escalated up to Cohort 5.
Healthy participants will receive a single dose of crovalimab matching placebo in each dose-escalation cohort of Part 1.
PNH participants will receive 3 single ascending doses (375 mg IV, 500 mg IV, 1000 mg IV of crovalimab) on Days 1, 8, and 22 followed by weekly crovalimab administrations up to a maximum of 5 months. Weekly crovalimab administrations will start no earlier than Day 36. The starting dose of Part 2 is based on data from Part 1 of the study.
Participants will receive crovalimab at a dose of 1000 mg on Day 1 and 170 mg weekly (QW) starting on Day 8 for a maximum treatment duration of 5 months.
Participants will receive crovalimab at a dose of 1000 mg on Day 1 and 340 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W) for a maximum treatment duration of 5 months.
Participants will receive crovalimab at a dose of 1000 mg on Day 1 and 680 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) starting on Day 8 for a maximum treatment duration of 5 months.
PNH Participants pretreated with eculizumab will receive crovalimab: Participants >/= 100 kilograms (kg): loading dose of 1500 mg IV on Day 1; Participants < 100 kg: loading dose of 1000 mg IV on Day 1. In all Participants, the remainder of the loading series schedule will be 340 mg subcutaneous (SC) on Days 2, 8, 15, and 22. For Participants >/= 100 kg, maintenance dosing will be 1020 mg SC on week 5 and then Q4W thereafter. Patients < 100 kg will receive a maintenance dose of 680 mg SC on the same schedule.
Treatment naïve PNH Participants will receive: Participants >/= 100 kg: loading dose of 1500 mg IV on day 1; Participants < 100 kg: loading dose of 1000 mg IV on day 1. In all Participants, the remainder of the loading series schedule will be 340 mg SC on Days 2, 8, 15, and 22. For Participants >/= 100 kg, maintenance dosing will be 1020 mg SC on week 5 and then Q4W thereafter. Patients < 100 kg will receive a maintenance dose of 680 mg SC on the same schedule.
PNH Participants who participated in Parts 2, 3 and 4 and who derive clinical benefit from crovalimab may enroll into OLE. Participants will either receive 680 mg SC Q4W (body weight >/= 40 kg to < 100 kg) or 1020 mg SC Q4W (body weight >/= 100 kg) for up to a maximum treatment duration of ten years from entry into OLE.
