Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate povetacicept in adults with autoimmune cytopenias of immune thrombocytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and cold agglutinin disease to determine if povetacicept is safe and potentially beneficial in treating these diseases. During the study treatment period participants will receive povetacicept approximately every 4 weeks for 6 months, with the possibility of participating in a 6-month study treatment extension period.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Adverse events (AEs) and Serious adverse events (SAEs)
Study Day 1 through 30 days after last dose of study drug
Study Arms (2)
Part 1: Povetacicept 240mg
EXPERIMENTALParticipants grouped in 3 cohorts by diagnosis will be administered Povetacicept
Part 2: Povetacicept Dose A
EXPERIMENTALBased on the findings of Part 1, one or two dose levels may be assessed in Part 2; if two dose levels are assessed participants will be randomized to receive one of the two dose levels of Povetacicept
Interventions
Administered by subcutaneous injection every 4 weeks
