- Change from Baseline to Day 43 (Visit 10) in Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) score [ Time Frame: Baseline and Visit 10 (Day 43) ]The total MG-ADL score is obtained by summing the responses to each individual item (8 items; Grades: 0, 1, 2, 3). The score ranges from 0 to 24, with a higher score indicating more disability.
- Percentage of participants achieving Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) response at Visit 10 [ Time Frame: Visit 10 (Day 43) ]The total MG-ADL score is obtained by summing the responses to each individual item (8 items; Grades: 0, 1, 2, 3). The score ranges from 0 to 24, with a higher score indicating more disability.
- Change from Baseline to Day 43 (Visit 10) in Myasthenia Gravis-Composite (MG-C) score [ Time Frame: Baseline and Visit 10 (Day 43) ]The total Myasthenia Gravis-Composite (MG-C) score is obtained by summing the responses to each individual item (10 items; Grade:0-9 depending on item). The score ranges from 0 to 50, with lower scores indicating lower disease activity.
- Change from Baseline to Day 43 (Visit 10) in Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) score [ Time Frame: Baseline and Visit 10 (Day 43) ]The total QMG score is obtained by summing the responses to each individual item (13 items; Responses: None=0, Mild=1, Moderate=2, Severe=3). The score ranges from 0 to 39, with lower scores indicating lower disease activity.
- Change from Baseline to Day 43 (Visit 10) in the Myasthenia Gravis (MG) Symptoms Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) 'Muscle Weakness Fatigability' score [ Time Frame: Baseline and Visit 10 (Day 43) ]
The MG symptoms PRO instrument consists of 42 items across 5 scales: ocular symptoms (items 1-5); bulbar symptoms (items 6-15); respiratory symptoms (items 16-18); physical fatigue (items 19-33) and muscle weakness fatigability (items 34-42).
The study participant will be asked to choose the response option that best describes the severity of ocular, bulbar, and respiratory symptoms over the past 7 days using a 4-point Likert scale ("none" to "severe") and how frequently they experience physical fatigue and muscle weakness fatigability over the past 7 days using a 5-point Likert scale ("none of the time" to "all of the time"), respectively.
- Change from Baseline to Day 43 (Visit 10) in the Myasthenia Gravis (MG) Symptoms Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) 'Physical Fatigue' score [ Time Frame: Baseline and Visit 10 (Day 43) ]
The MG symptoms PRO instrument consists of 42 items across 5 scales: ocular symptoms (items 1-5); bulbar symptoms (items 6-15); respiratory symptoms (items 16-18); physical fatigue (items 19-33) and muscle weakness fatigability (items 34-42).
The study participant will be asked to choose the response option that best describes the severity of ocular, bulbar, and respiratory symptoms over the past 7 days using a 4-point Likert scale ("none" to "severe") and how frequently they experience physical fatigue and muscle weakness fatigability over the past 7 days using a 5-point Likert scale ("none of the time" to "all of the time"), respectively.

- Occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: From Baseline until End of Study Visit (up to Week 14) ]
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as any event that was not present prior to the first administration of IMP or any unresolved event already present before the first administration of IMP that worsens in intensity following exposure to treatment.
- Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) leading to withdrawal of investigational medicinal product (IMP) [ Time Frame: From Baseline until End of Study Visit (up to Week 14) ]
One of the secondary outcome measures is to assess safety and tolerability of the IMP in the MG patients. This can be measured by treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) leading to withdrawal of IMP.
A TEAE is defined as any event that was not present prior to the first administration of IMP or any unresolved event already present before the first administration of IMP that worsens in intensity following exposure to treatment.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement: | |
Plan to Share IPD: | Yes |
Plan Description: | Data from this trial may be requested by qualified researchers six months after product approval in the US and/or Europe, or global development is discontinued, and 18 months after trial completion. Investigators may request access to anonymized individual patient-level data and redacted trial documents which may include: analysis-ready datasets, study protocol, annotated case report form, statistical analysis plan, dataset specifications, and clinical study report. Prior to use of the data, proposals need to be approved by an independent review panel at www.Vivli.org and a signed data sharing agreement will need to be executed. All documents are available in English only, for a prespecified time, typically 12 months, on a password protected portal. This plan may change if the risk of re-identifying trial participants is determined to be too high after the trial is completed; in this case and to protect participants, individual patient-level data would not be made available. |
