• Hemoglobin between 5.5 and 10 g/dL at Screening
• Have had 1 to 10 VOCs in the past 12 months.
• Patients receiving hydroxyurea must have been on a stable dose for ≥ 3 months prior to providing informed consent, with no anticipated need for dose adjustment during the study.
• Patients will be vaccinated with MCV4 and serogroup B meningococcal vaccinations at least 14 days before dosing, if not already vaccinated within 3 years before the first dose.
• Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccination are up to date according to current national/local vaccination guidelines for patients with SCD.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Treated with complement inhibitors within 6 months prior to the first dose.
• Patients who are on chronic transfusion or receive a transfusion within 60 days of first dose.
• Any significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may put the participant at risk.

• Active systemic bacterial, viral, or fungal infection within 14 days prior to dosing.
• Participation (ie, last protocol-required study visit) in a clinical study within 90 days or 5 half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is longer, before initiation of dosing on Day 1.
• Participation in more than 1 clinical study of a monoclonal antibody (mAb), or participation in a clinical study of a mAb within the 6 months or 5 half-lives of the mAb, whichever is longer, prior to Screening, during which the participant was exposed to the active study drug.
• Severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 ) or on chronic dialysis.
• History of allergy or hypersensitivity to excipients of ALXN1820 (eg, polysorbate 80).
• History of complement deficiency.
• History of N meningitidis, S pneumoniae, or H influenzae infection.
