Study design 6 periods

#TitleAllocationBlindingRoles blindedArms
1 Part 1 - Treatment Period
Subjects who meet the eligibility criteria for the study will start treatment with povetacicept and receive treatment for up to 6 cycles (6 doses). When the first 7 subjects in each cohort have been enrolled and treated with 3 cycles of povetacicept (12 weeks), an interim analysis will be conducted to assess safety and efficacy and to determine if the indication cohort should stop enrolment for futility or lack of efficacy.
Not Applicable None wAIHA (warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia): At least 7 and up to 14 subjects with wAIHA in Part 1 of the study; up to 28 subjects in Part 2 of the study
CAD (cold agglutinin disease): At least 7 and up to 14 subjects with CAD in Part 1 of the study; up to 28 subjects in Part 2 of the study
ITP (immune thrombocytopenia): At least 7 and up to 14 subjects with ITP in Part 1 of the study; up to 28 subjects in Part 2 of the study
2 Part 1 - Optional Treatment Extension Period
At the end of the Part 1 Treatment Period, subjects who are experiencing a treatment benefit, based on the investigator's judgment, may choose to continue into the Part 1 Optional Treatment Extension Period to receive up to 6 more cycles of treatment with povetacicept.
Not Applicable None wAIHA (warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia): At least 7 and up to 14 subjects with wAIHA in Part 1 of the study; up to 28 subjects in Part 2 of the study
CAD (cold agglutinin disease): At least 7 and up to 14 subjects with CAD in Part 1 of the study; up to 28 subjects in Part 2 of the study
ITP (immune thrombocytopenia): At least 7 and up to 14 subjects with ITP in Part 1 of the study; up to 28 subjects in Part 2 of the study
3 Part 1 - Follow-up
Subjects will have an end of treatment visit either at the end of the Part 1 Treatment Period or at the end of the Part 1 Optional Treatment Extension Period. After the end of treatment, subjects will be monitored for safety follow-up for an additional 8 weeks.
Not Applicable None wAIHA (warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia): At least 7 and up to 14 subjects with wAIHA in Part 1 of the study; up to 28 subjects in Part 2 of the study
CAD (cold agglutinin disease): At least 7 and up to 14 subjects with CAD in Part 1 of the study; up to 28 subjects in Part 2 of the study
ITP (immune thrombocytopenia): At least 7 and up to 14 subjects with ITP in Part 1 of the study; up to 28 subjects in Part 2 of the study
4 Part 2 - Expansion Treatment Period
Part 2 will enroll new subjects in a given cohort to gain additional experience with the 240 mg Q4W dose level (as well as a potential lower dose level, based on emerging data). Part 2 may include 1 or 2 dose levels at or below the dose level determined to be safe and effective in Part 1. If 2 dose levels are tested, subjects will be randomized within the indication cohort. Each dose level within the indication cohort may enroll up to 14 subjects. Subjects who meet the eligibility criteria for the study will start treatment with povetacicept and receive treatment for up to 6 cycles (6 doses).
Not Applicable None wAIHA (warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia): At least 7 and up to 14 subjects with wAIHA in Part 1 of the study; up to 28 subjects in Part 2 of the study
CAD (cold agglutinin disease): At least 7 and up to 14 subjects with CAD in Part 1 of the study; up to 28 subjects in Part 2 of the study
ITP (immune thrombocytopenia): At least 7 and up to 14 subjects with ITP in Part 1 of the study; up to 28 subjects in Part 2 of the study
5 Part 2 - Optional Treatment Extension Period
At the end of the Part 2 Expansion Treatment Period, subjects who are experiencing a treatment benefit, based on the investigator's judgment, may choose to continue into the Part 2 Optional Treatment Extension Period to receive up to 6 more cycles of treatment with povetacicept.
Not Applicable None wAIHA (warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia): At least 7 and up to 14 subjects with wAIHA in Part 1 of the study; up to 28 subjects in Part 2 of the study
