Overview
This study is part of the ADAPT Forward platform study (NCT07294170). ADAPT Forward is a platform study with the aim to look at how safe different drugs are and how well they work for people with myasthenia gravis. The goal is to find the best therapeutic approach to reduce patients' side effects and improve their quality of life.
The aim of this ISA1 is to evaluate the safety and therapeutic relevance of empasiprubart as add-on therapy to efgartigimod in participants with AChR-Ab seropositive generalized myasthenia gravis.
The ADAPT Forward master protocol is registered on https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07294170
Description
Once the master protocol and ISA1 screening periods are completed, eligible participants can enroll in the run-in period (part A) where they will receive efgartigimod IV. Eligible participants can then continue to the add-on period (part B) where they will receive both efgartigimod IV and empasiprubart IV.
Participants who are not eligible for part B will continue directly to the safety follow-up period (part C) where they will receive efgartigimod IV only.
The study duration for each participant is approximately up to 54 weeks.
