Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Pregnant and an estimated gestational age (GA) (based on ultrasound dating) from Week 13^0/7 to Week 18^6/7 at randomization - History of severe Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN) in a prior pregnancy defined as documented: a. fetal anemia as result of HDFN or fetal hydrops as result of HDFN or received greater than or equal to (>=)1 IUT as a result of HDFN or b. fetal loss or neonatal death as a result of HDFN, with maternal alloantibody titers for Rhesus antigen D protein (RhD), Kell, Kell Rhesus antigen C protein (Rhc), Rhesus antigen E protein (RhE), or RhC antigen above the critical levels (anti-Kell >=4; other >=16) and evidence of an antigen-positive fetus - During the current pregnancy, presence of maternal alloantibody to RhD, Rhc, RhE, or RhC antigen with titers above the critical level (anti-Kell >= 4; other >=16) based on the designated central lab results at screening - Evidence of antigen-positivity corresponding to the current maternal alloantibody (RhD, Kell, Rhc, RhE, or RhC) confirmed by non-invasive antigen cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) performed at the central laboratory - Have screening lab test results within values within the study protocol-specified parameters: a) albumin >= lower limit of normal (LLN); b) alanine transaminase (AST) less than or equal to (= 600 mg/dL SI: >=6 g/L - Medically stable on the basis of physical examination, medical history, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, and clinical lab tests performed at screening

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Currently pregnant with a multiple gestation (twins or more) - Evidence of fetal anemia prior to randomization in the current pregnancy - History of severe preeclampsia prior to GA Week 34 or severe fetal growth restriction (estimated fetal weight <3rd percentile, based on local fetal growth normative standards) in a previous pregnancy - Current uncontrolled hypertension - History of myocardial infarction, unstable ischemic heart disease, or stroke - Has any confirmed or suspected clinical immunodeficiency syndrome or has a family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency unless confirmed absent in the participant - Has inflammatory or autoimmune diseases requiring immunosuppressive therapies that may jeopardize the safety of the participant - Currently has a malignancy or has a history of malignancy within 3 years before screening (with the exception of localized basal cell carcinoma and/ or squamous cell carcinoma skin cancer that has been adequately treated with no evidence of recurrence for at least 3 months before the first study intervention administration or cervical carcinoma in situ that has been treated with no evidence of recurrence for at least 3 months before the first study intervention) - Is currently receiving systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants for disorders unrelated to the pregnancy - Has received or planning to receive plasmapheresis, immunoadsorption therapy, intravenous immunoglobulin (IV Ig), or any immunoglobulin (Ig)G fragment crystallizable (Fc)-related protein therapeutics during the current pregnancy - Has a severe infection including opportunistic infections - Presence of abnormal (protocol-specified) hematologic lab values during screening - History of an unprovoked pulmonary embolism or history of recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) The above information was not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a participant's potential participation in a clinical trial.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Percentage of Pregnancies That did not Result in Fetal Loss, Intrauterine Transfusion (IUT), Hydrops Fetalis, or Neonatal Death 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). [Time Frame: From randomization in the study through 4 weeks of age or 41 weeks Postmenstrual Age (PMA) during neonatal period, whichever is later]
