Study Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy and safety of efgartigimod intravenously (IV) compared to placebo in participants with Acetylcholine Receptor Binding Antibody (AChR-Ab) seronegative Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG). Other objectives are to assess long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of efgartigimod.

Study will consist of:

  • Screening

  • Part A: participants will be randomized to receive either efgartigimod IV or placebo

  • Part B: participants completing part A will receive open-label efgartigimod IV
