The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of efgartigimod PH20 SC given by a prefilled syringe in participants with Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR) after kidney transplantation. After a screening period of up to 6 weeks, eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio. The study drug will be administered subcutaneously while patients remain on their standard background immunosuppression therapy (tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, steroids) during the treatment period (48 weeks). At the end of the treatment period, the participants will enter an observational/follow-up period (approximately 24 weeks). The participants will be in the study for up to 78 weeks.
