BiologicalSubcutaneous injection with efgartigimod PH20 SC
NCT Number: NCT04735432
The purpose of this study is to investigate the Pharmacodynamics (PD), Pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and clinical efficacy of efgartigimod coformulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) as compared to efgartigimod IV infused in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). The study duration is approximately 12 weeks. After screening, patients will be randomized to receive either efgartigimod infusions or efgartigimod PH20 subcutaneously (SC)

Main objective of the trial: To demonstrate that the pharmacodynamic (PD) effect of injections of 1000 mg efgartigimod PH20 SC (efgartigimod co-formulated with recombinant humanhyaluronidase PH20 for subcutaneous administration), administered once weekly for 4 administrations, is NI (noninferior) to IV infusions of efgartigimod (efgartigimod formulation for intravenous infusion) at a dose of 10 mg/kg administered once weekly for 4 administrations.
Secondary objectives: To compare the PD effect of efgartigimod PH20 SC and efgartigimod IV over time; To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of efgartigimod PH20 SC and efgartigimod IV; To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of efgartigimod PH20 SC and efgartigimod IV; To evaluate the clinical efficacy of efgartigimod PH20 SC and efgartigimod IV.

Incidence of antidrug antibodies (ADA) against Efgartigimod in the overall population. ADA analysis is performed with a validated ELISA in a 3-tiered approach (ADA screening analysis, confirmatory analysis and a titration assay). Descriptive statistics have been used for this secondary end point.
Time frame: From baseline to week 10
Incidence of antibodies against rHuPH20 in the Efgartigimod PH20 SC Arm. antibody analysis is performed with a validated ELISA in a 3-tiered approach (screening analysis, confirmatory analysis and a titration assay) Descriptive statistics have been used for this secondary end point.
Time frame: From baseline to week 10

Time frame: From baseline to week 10
Evaluation of number and percentage of Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) responders in the overall population. The MG-ADL is an 8-item patient-reported scale that assesses MG symptoms and their effects on daily activities. It evaluates a participant's capacity to perform different activities in their daily life, including talking, chewing, swallowing, breathing, brushing their teeth, combing their hair, or getting up from a chair. The MG-ADL also assesses double vision and eyelid droop. It is a discrete quantitative variable in which the 8 items are rated by the participant on a scale of 0 to 3. The total score can range from 0 to 24, with higher total scores indicating more impairment. A participant was considered a MG-ADL responder if he/she showed a reduction of at least 2 points from baseline on the MG-ADL score for at least 4 consecutive weeks. Descriptive statistics have been used for this secondary end point.
Time frame: From Baseline to Week 10
Evaluation of number and percentage of Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) responders in the overall population (ITT Analysis Set).
Descriptive statistics have been used for this secondary end point. One subject in the EFG IV arm had no post-baseline QMG assessment and thus was excluded from the denominator.
Time frame: From baseline to week 10

Time frame: From baseline to week 10
Evaluation of QMG Total Score change from baseline over time for the overall population (ITT Analysis Set). The QMG (Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis) quantifies disease severity based on impairments of body function and structures as defined by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The QMG consists of 13 items that assess ocular, bulbar, and limb function. Six of the 13 items are timed endurance tests measured in seconds. Each item has a possible score from 0 to 3. The total possible score is 39, where higher total scores indicate more severe impairments. It is based on qualitative testing of specific muscle groups to assess limb function.
Descriptive statistics have been used for this secondary end point. A participant was considered a QMG responder if he/she showed a reduction of at least 3 points from baseline on the QMG score for at least 4 consecutive weeks.
