Brief Summary
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of ARGX-117 in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients at Risk for Delayed Graft Function. The study consists of 2 parts: part A comprises the main study period, and part B comprises the long-term observational follow-up period. During part A, after the screening period, eligible participants will be randomized to receive either ARGX-117 or placebo, entering the treatment and evaluation period (duration of up to 52 weeks). After the treatment period, participants will enter a follow-up period of up to 12 weeks. The total study duration varies from approximately 64 weeks up to 5 years post-transplant depending on whether a participant enrols in part B of the study.

- Are recipients of de novo or second-time, single kidney transplant from a deceased donor, either DCD (donation after cardiac/circulatory death) or DBD ( (donation after brain death)
- Are ABO compatible with donor allograft, except for type A2 donor to type B recipient kidneys
- Have a negative cross match
- Have received pretransplant vaccinations for: Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae, or are willing to receive the vaccinations approximately 3 to 4 months posttransplant
You may not qualify if:

- Evidence of peritonitis in participants on peritoneal dialysis
- Received any solid organ, bone marrow, or hematopoietic stem cell transplant, with the exception of prior first kidney transplant

- Clinically significant comorbidity, recent major surgery (within 3 months of screening), history of any treatment nonadherence, or intention to have surgery during the study other than kidney transplantation; or any other medical condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would confound the results of the study or put the participant at undue risk
- Clinically significant active bacterial, viral, or fungal infection
- History of malignancy unless considered cured by adequate treatment, with no evidence of recurrence for 5 years or more before first study drug administration. Adequately treated participants with the following cancers can be included at any time: Basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer; Carcinoma in situ of the cervix; Carcinoma in situ of the breast; Incidental histological finding of prostate cancer
