Official title
Non-interventional, Longitudinal Hybrid Data Sources Study to Evaluate the Impact of Efgartigimod on Overall Disease Experience of People Suffering From Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) in Italy
Overview
This study aims to generate real world evidence (RWE) from Italian clinical practice on the impact of efgartigimod alfa in gMG patients encompassing clinical outcomes and patient reported experiences. The study population will consist in adult patients with a documented diagnosis of gMG who are AChR-antibody positive and for whom the decision of treatment with efgartigimod alfa for gMG has been made independently of study participation as part of routine clinical care. The total study duration will be up to 23 months
Detailed description
Primary data collection will be performed during the baseline visit and follow-up will be at month 6 and 12 after baseline.
Secondary data collection from medical charts, information on myasthenia gravis (MG) related therapies (including rescue therapies), MG exacerbations, and MG-related hospitalizations will be collected for the 12 months preceding baseline. Additionally, the patient's MG history and overall medical history will be documented.
Primary outcome measures
- Changes in MG-ADL scores from baseline [Time frame: Up to 12 months]
- Percentage of patients achieving MSE [Time frame: Up to 12 months]
Secondary outcome measures (10)
- Changes in QMG scores over time [Time frame: Up to 12 months]
- Changes in MG-QoL-15r scores over time [Time frame: Up to 12 months]
- Changes in PROMIS Fatigue SF 4a scores over time [Time frame: Up to 12 months]
- Changes in FSS over time [Time frame: Up to 12 months]
- Changes in HADS-Anxiety scores over time [Time frame: Up to 12 months]
- Changes in HADS-Depression scores over time [Time frame: Up to 12 months]
- Changes in PSQI scores over time [Time frame: Up to 12 months]
- TANDEM - patient version scores over time [Time frame: Up to 12 months]
- TANDEM - clinician version scores over time [Time frame: Up to 12 months]
- CBI scores over time [Time frame: Up to 12 months]
