Official title
An Open-Label, Single-arm Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics (PK), Pharmacodynamics (PD), Safety, and Efficacy of Gefurulimab in Pediatric Patients (6 to < 18 Years of Age) With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) Who Express Acetylcholine Receptor Antibodies (AChR+)
Overview
The primary objective of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of gefurulimab in pediatric participants with AChR+ gMG for the duration of the study.
Interventions
- Combination product Gefurulimab
Combination product consisting of syringe prefilled with gefurulimab will be administered weekly via subcutaneous (SC) injection.
Primary outcome measures
- Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of Gefurulimab [Time frame: Day 1 predose through Week 18 predose]
- Serum Free Complement Component 5 (C5) Concentration [Time frame: Day 1 predose through Week 18 predose]
Secondary outcome measures (8)
- Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs) [Time frame: Day 1 through Week 134]
- Change in Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis Score for Disease Severity (QMG) Total Score From Baseline Through Week 18 [Time frame: Baseline through Week 18]
- Number of Participants With ≥ 5-point Reduction From Baseline in the QMG Total Score Through Week 18 [Time frame: Baseline through Week 18]
- Change in Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living Profile (MG-ADL) Total Score From Baseline Through Week 18 [Time frame: Baseline through Week 18]
- Number of Participants With ≥ 3-point Reduction From Baseline in the MG-ADL Total Score Through Week 18 [Time frame: Baseline through Week 18]
- Number of Participants With Anti-drug Antibodies (ADAs) [Time frame: Baseline through Week 134]
- Number of ADA Positive Participants With Pre-existing Immunoreactivity,Treatment-emergent or Treatment-boosted ADA Responses [Time frame: Baseline through Week 134]
- Number of ADA Positive Participants With Neutralizing Antibody (NAb) Positive or Negative Status [Time frame: Baseline through Week 134]
