Study Summary

The purpose of this open-label study is to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a continuous regimen of efgartigimod compared with a cyclic regimen in participants with Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG).

Study details include:

The study duration will be up to 138 weeks (including screening and a safety follow-up of up to 9 weeks)

  • Part A (regimen comparison period) - 21 weeks

  • Part B (extension period) - up to 105 weeks

The visit frequency, including virtual visits, will be weekly through Week 21 and every 5 weeks for the remainder of the study.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with therequirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in thisprotocol.

  • At least 18 years of age, at the time of signing the informed consent.

  • Diagnosed with Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) with confirmed documentation andsupported by a physical exam and confirmed seropositivity for anti-acetylcholinereceptor antibodies (AChR-Abs).

  • Meets the clinical criteria as defined by the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation ofAmerica (MGFA) class II, III, or IV

  • Has an Myasthenia Gravis - Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) total score ≥5 atscreening and the day 1 visit, with more than 50% of the score due to nonocularsymptoms

  • Concomitant gMG treatment is permitted. Permitted concomitant gMG treatment includesnonsteroidal immunosuppressive drugs (NSIDs), steroids, and/or acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. If receiving corticosteroids and/or NSIDs, must be on a stabledose for at least 1 month before screening.

  • Contraceptive use should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methodsof contraception for those participating in clinical studies and: Women ofchildbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and anegative urine pregnancy test at baseline before investigational medicinal product (IMP) can be administered.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Clinically significant uncontrolled active or chronic bacterial, viral, or fungalinfection at screening

  • A positive test for SARS-CoV-2 at screening

  • Any other known autoimmune disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, wouldinterfere with an accurate assessment of the clinical symptoms of gMG and/or put theparticipant at undue risk

  • History of malignancy unless deemed cured by adequate treatment with no evidence ofreoccurrence for ≥3 years before the first administration of the IMP. Participantswith the following cancers can be included at any time, provided they are adequatelytreated at screening: Basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer; carcinoma in situ ofthe cervix; Carcinoma in situ of the breast; Incidental histological finding ofprostate cancer (TNM stage T1a or T1b)

  • Clinical evidence of other significant serious diseases, a recent (<3 months) majorsurgery, or any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, couldconfound the results of the study or put the participant at undue risk

  • A thymectomy within 3 months of screening

  • Pregnant or lactating females and those who intend to become pregnant during thestudy or within 90 days of the last dose of IMP

  • Use of the following prior or concomitant therapies:

  1. intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) or subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) within 14 days of day 1

  2. Rituximab within 6 months of day 1

  3. Eculizumab within 1 month of day 1

  4. Other monoclonal antibodies (eg, adalimumab, tocilizumab, ixekizumab) within 5half-lives of the monoclonal antibodies before day 1

  5. Use of any other investigational product within 3 months or 5 half-lives,whichever is longer, before day 1

  6. Receipt of a live or live-attenuated vaccines received within 4 weeks ofscreening. The receipt of any inactivated, subunit, polysaccharide, conjugatevaccine at any time before screening is not considered exclusionary.

  • Previous participation in a clinical study or patient access program during whichthey were treated with efgartigimod

  • Positive serum test at screening for an active viral infection with any of thefollowing conditions: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) that is indictive of an acute orchronic infection; Hepatitis C virus (HCV) based on HCV antibody assay (unlessassociated with a negative HCV RNA test); HIV based on test results that areassociated with an AIDS-defining condition or a CD4 count <200 cells/mm3

  • Total IgG <6 g/L at screening

  • Known hypersensitivity reaction to efgartigimod or any of its excipients

  • The participant stands in any relationship of dependency with the sponsor.

  • The participant has been institutionalized due to an official or judicial order.
