Arm Description

Participants with primary CAD who had a recent history of transfusion (defined as at least 1 transfusion during the last 6 months prior to screening) received an intravenous (IV) infusion of BIVV009 6.5 grams (g) (if body weight was less than [<] 75 kilograms [kg]) or BIVV009 7.5 g (if body weight was greater than or equal to [>=] 75 kg) on Day 0 and Day 7 and every 14 days thereafter in Part A up to Week 25. Participants who completed Part A per protocol through the end of treatment visit (Week 26) could continue to receive BIVV009 in Part B, every 2 weeks starting at Week 27 for up to an additional 149 weeks. All participants who completed Part A elected to continue in Part B.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Part A: Percentage of Participants With Response to Treatment
A participant was considered a responder: if he or she did not receive a blood transfusion from Week 5 through Week 26 (end of treatment in Part A) and did not receive treatment for CAD beyond what was permitted per protocol. Additionally, the participant's hemoglobin (Hgb) level must meet either of the following criteria: Hgb level >= 12 grams per deciliter (g/dL) at the treatment assessment endpoint (defined as the average of the values from the Week 23, 25, and 26 visits), or Hgb increased >= 2 g/dL from baseline (defined as the last Hgb value before administration of the first dose of study drug) at treatment assessment endpoint. Percentage of responders was calculated together with a 95% exact Clopper-Pearson confidence interval (CI).
Part B: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)
An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug and did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. TESAEs was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a medically important event. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed, worsened or became serious during the treatment-emergent (TE) period (from the first investigational medicinal product [IMP] administration in Part B to the last IMP administration + 9 weeks follow up period).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Higher scores = good health condition. These 8 domains were further summarized into 2 summary scores, PCS and MCS for which, score ranged 0 (poor health) to 100 (better health). Higher scores = better HRQOL. Baseline (Week 0) was defined as the last non-missing value prior to first administration of study drug in Part A. ET visit/SFU visit was 9 weeks after administration of last dose (i.e., up to Week 185). Change from baseline in SF-12 PCS and MCS scores is reported in this outcome measure.
Part B: Change From Baseline in 5-level European Quality of Life 5-Dimensions 5-Level Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) Health State Utility Index and VAS Scores at Weeks 39, 51, 63, 75, 87, 99, 111, 123, 135, 147,159, 171 and ET Visit/SFU Visit
EQ-5D-5L:standardized, participant-rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life. EQ-5D-5L includes 2 components: EQ-5D-5L health state utility index (descriptive system) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). EQ-5D descriptive system comprises 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 response option: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems measured with Likert scale. EQ-5D-5L responses relating to 5 dimensions are converted into a single index utility score between 0 to 1, where higher score=better health state. The EQ-5D-5L VAS rated participant's current health state on a scale from 0=worst imaginable health state to 100 =best imaginable health state. Baseline (Week 0): last non-missing value prior to first administration of study drug in Part A. ET visit/SFU visit was 9 weeks after administration of last dose (i.e., up to Week 185).

The PGIS is a self-reported scale. The PGIS is a 1-item questionnaire designed to assess participant's impression of disease severity using a 5-point scale ranging from 1 to 5, where 1=none, 2= mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe, 5=very severe. Higher scores indicated greater severity. ET visit/SFU visit was 9 weeks after administration of last dose (i.e., up to Week 185).
Part B: Number of Participants With Response to Participant's Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Questionnaire at Weeks 39, 51, 63, 75, 87, 99, 111, 123, 135, 147,159, 171 and at ET Visit/SFU Visit
PGIC is a self-administered questionnaire to evaluate the improvement or worsening compared to the start of the study. PGIC was assessed on a 7-point Likert scale ranged from 1 (greatly improved) to 7 (greatly worsened). Categories were defined based on the PGIC scores as follows: 1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse and 7=very much worsen. Higher scores indicated greater severity. ET visit/SFU visit was 9 weeks after administration of last dose (i.e., up to Week 185).
