- Received 1200 mg eculizumab every 12 to 16 days (every 2 weeks) for at least 3 months prior to Screening.
- LDH ≤ 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) according to central laboratory, at Screening.
- To reduce the risk of meningococcal infection (Neisseria meningitidis), all participants must be vaccinated against meningococcal infections within 3 years prior to initiating study drug.
- Body weight ≥ 40 kilograms.
Key Exclusion Criteria
- History of major adverse vascular events within 6 months of Day 1.
- History of bone marrow transplantation.
- Lymphoma, leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or any malignancy within the past 5 years except for basal cell or squamous epithelial carcinomas of the skin that have been resected with no evidence of metastatic disease for 3 years.
- Concomitant use of anticoagulants is prohibited if not on a stable regimen for at least 2 weeks prior to Day 1.
- Concomitant use of any of the following medications and not on a stable regimen (as judged by the Investigator) for the time period indicated prior to Screening:

- Iron supplements or folic acid for 4 weeks
- Live vaccine(s) within 1 month prior to Screening or plans to receive such vaccines during the study.
- More than 1 LDH value > 2 × ULN within the 6 months prior to Day 1.
- Platelet count < 30, 000/cubic millimeter (30 × 10^9/Liter [L]) at Screening.
- Absolute neutrophil count < 500/microliter (0.5 × 10^9/L) at Screening.
