Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: From start of dosing (Day 1) to End of Safety Follow-Up (up to Day 57) ]
   A TEAE was defined as any adverse event (AE) with a start date/time on or after first dose of study medication until 8 weeks after dosing of study medication.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of a Single Dose Rozanolixizumab [ Time Frame: Sampling time points for plasma Pharmacokinetics were as follows: predose, immediately at the end of infusion, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours after start of infusion, and on Days 7, 10, 13, and 16 ]
   Cmax was the maximum plasma concentration of a single dose rozanolixizumab. Cmax was measured in micrograms per millilitre per milligram (ug/mL/mg).

   tmax was the time to maximum plasma concentration of a single dose rozanolixizumab.
3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Time t (AUC0-t) of a Single Dose Rozanolixizumab [ Time Frame: Sampling time points for plasma Pharmacokinetics were as follows: predose, immediately at the end of infusion, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours after start of infusion, and on Days 7, 10, 13, and 16 ]
   AUC0-t was the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time t of a single dose rozanolixizumab.
4. Baseline-corrected Area Under the Total Immunglobulin (Ig) G-time Curve [ Time Frame: Sampling time points for total IgG were as follows: 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours after start of infusion, and on Days 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 29, 43 and 57 ]
   Area under the baseline-corrected total IgG response curve from time 0 to time t.
5. Percent Maximum Decrease in Total Plasma IgG (Rmin) of a Single Dose Rozanolixizumab or Placebo [ Time Frame: Sampling time points for total IgG were as follows: 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours after start of infusion, and on Days 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 29, 43 and 57 ]
   Rmin was the maximum (max) decrease in total plasma IgG of a single dose rozanolixizumab or placebo.
6. Time to Minimum IgG Level (Tmin) of a Single Dose Rozanolixizumab or Placebo [ Time Frame: Sampling time points for total IgG were as follows: 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours after start of infusion, and on Days 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 29, 43 and 57 ]
