A Phase 2 Open-label Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety and Tolerability of Inebilizumab in Children From 2 Years to Less Than 18 Years of Age With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG)
The primary objectives of this study are to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of inebilizumab administered in pediatric participants with gMG, and to assess the safety and tolerability of inebilizumab administered in pediatric participants with gMG.
• Participant's legally authorized representative has provided informed consent when the participant is legally too young to provide informed consent and the participant has provided written assent based on local regulations and/or guidelines before any study-specific activities/procedures being initiated.
• Age ≥ 2 to \< 18 years of age on the day of enrollment.
• Diagnosis of gMG defined as:
‣ Positive serologic test for anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) or anti-muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibody (Ab) titers as confirmed at screening (1 retest allowed), and
⁃ At least 1 of the following:
• History of abnormal neuromuscular transmission test results demonstrated by single-fiber electromyography or repetitive nerve stimulation; or
∙ History of positive anticholinesterase test (eg, edrophonium chloride test); or
∙ Participant demonstrated improvement in gMG signs on oral cholinesterase inhibitors, as assessed by the treating physician; or
∙ Clinical syndrome consistent with a diagnosis of gMG, and not otherwise explained by another condition.
• Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America Clinical Classification Class II, III, or IV at the time of screening.
• Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis score of 11 or greater at screening.
• Participants may enter the study on:
‣ Corticosteroids only, with no dose increase within 4 weeks prior to screening, or
⁃ One allowed non-steroidal immunosuppressive therapies (IST) (azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, or mycophenolic acid) with continuous use for at least 6 months prior to screening and no dose increase within 4 months prior to screening, or
⁃ Combination of (1) corticosteroids with no dose increase within 4 weeks prior to screening and (2) one allowed non-steroidal IST with continuous use for at least 6 months prior to screening and no dose increase within 4 months prior to screening.
• Participants may enter the study on a stable dose of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (pyridostigmine dose). The acetylcholinesterase inhibitor dose must have been stable for at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment.
• Vital signs and laboratory parameters within the normal ranges at screening, or, if outside normal ranges, deemed not clinically significant by the investigator.
