Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess how well nipocalimab works when compared to efgartigimod in participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (a condition in which body's immune system mistakenly attacks and damages the connection between nerves and muscles causing muscle weakness).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion criteria:

For all arms:

  • Medically stable on the basis of physical examination, medical history, vital signs,clinical laboratory tests, and 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) performed atscreening

  • Diagnosis of myasthenia gravis (MG) with generalized muscle weakness meeting theclinical criteria for generalized MG (gMG) as defined by the Myasthenia gravisfoundation of America (MGFA) clinical classification class II a/b, III a/b, or IVa/b at screening and positive for acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies

  • Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) score of greater than or equalto (>=) 5 with less than (<) 50% of symptoms coming from ocular MG-ADL sub-scores atstudy screening and baseline (Day 1) visits

Criteria specific to Arms 1 and 2 only:

  • Has suboptimal response to current stable therapy for gMG according to the investigator or has discontinued corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressants/immunomodulators including eculizumab or other novel approved immune agents at least 4 weeks prior to baseline due to intolerance or lack of efficacy

Criteria specific to Arm 3:

  • Treatment with efgartigimod IV or subcutaneous (SC) for >=1 cycle, and the final cycle is consistent with product information

Exclusion

Exclusion criteria:

  • Any confirmed or suspected clinical immunodeficiency syndrome not related totreatment of his/her gMG, or has a family history of congenital or hereditaryimmunodeficiency unless confirmed absent in the participant

  • Had a thymectomy within 1 year prior to baseline, or thymectomy is planned duringthe study

  • Currently has a malignancy or has a history of malignancy within 3 years beforebaseline

Criteria specific to Arms 1 and 2 only:

  • Has received treatment for MG with an FcRn-targeting therapy

Criteria specific to Arm 3 only:

  • Is currently taking IgG monoclonal antibody therapeutics, or Fc-conjugated therapeutic agents, including factor or enzyme replacement, with the exception of efgartigimod
