* Able to provide written informed consent
* Willing and able to comply with the requirements of the study protocol
* Female participants of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test (serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin) and must be practicing an effective, reliable, and medically approved contraceptive regimen at the time of consent and for up to 5 months following discontinuation of treatment

* Participant has a predicted Irish model risk of DGF <25%
* Female participants who are pregnant or breast feeding
* Female participants of child bearing potential who are unable or unwilling to use a medically acceptable form of contraception

* Participants with a history of splenectomy
* Participants with unresolved meningococcal disease
* Participants with an unresolved systemic bacterial or fungal infection
* Participants with known or suspected hereditary complement deficiency (for example, but not limited to: atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria)
* Participant has a current malignancy or a history of any malignancy (within the past 5 years), except non-metastatic basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix that has been treated appropriately
* Participant has a history of or is believed by the Investigator to have used an illicit drug(s) and/or abused alcohol within 3 months prior to screening
