Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (2) locations...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 3
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
Participation Requirements
Sex: All
Minimum Age: 18
Maximum Age: 74
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

⁃ For all arms:

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

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

• Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) score of greater than or equal to (\>=) 5 with less than (\<) 50% of symptoms coming from ocular MG-ADL sub-scores at study 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 local label

Participants
Target number of participants: 115
Treatments
Experimental: Arm 1: Nipocalimab
Participants will receive nipocalimab intravenously (IV), at a loading dose on Day 1 followed by maintenance dosing once every 2 weeks (q2w) until Week 12.
Active_comparator: Arm 2: Efgartigimod
Participants will receive efgartigimod IV, once a week for 4 weeks starting from Day 1. Eligible participants will be given the option to switch to Arm 3 between Week 8 and Week 12.
Experimental: Arm 3: Treatment Switch (Nipocalimab)
Participants previously treated with efgartigimod, who are directly enrolled in this arm, and eligible participants switching from Arm 2 will receive nipocalimab IV at a loading dose on Switch Day 1 followed by maintenance dosing q2w until Switch Week 12.
