Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Nipocalimab
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo
Treatment: Drugs - Standard of care treatment

Experimental: Nipocalimab - Participants will receive nipocalimab subcutaneously (SC) along with standard of care treatments. At the Week 48 visit, eligible participants from both studies will have the option to enter an open-label long-term extension (OLE) phase, where they will continue to receive nipocalimab until Week 143 or until the study intervention is discontinued and participants opt to withdraw from the study.

Placebo comparator: Placebo - Participants will receive placebo subcutaneously along with standard of care treatments. At the Week 48 visit, eligible participants from both studies will have the option to enter an OLE phase, where they will receive nipocalimab until Week 143 or until the study intervention is discontinued and participants opt to withdraw from the study.
