Study participant must be seropositive for leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) antibody
Study participant must have ≥2 seizures/week during the Screening Period or have experienced such seizures that stopped following high dose corticosteroids (500 to 1000 milligram (mg) methylprednisolone (MP) equivalent/day):
* Either faciobrachial dystonic seizures (FBDS) with or without other focal (partial) seizures including focal to bilateral tonic clonic
* Or focal (partial) seizures including focal to bilateral tonic clonic and fulfil the following new-onset Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) criteria
Study participant has initiated or re-initiated corticosteroids at a dose of 500 to 1000 mg MP equivalent/day within 42 days prior to randomization. Participants re-initiating corticosteroids are eligible only if re-initiation is due to seizure rebound and within the timeframe outlined.
