  • Ages 18 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients with generalized Myasthenia Gravis (age 18-85 years) at screening
  • Positive serology testing for AChR+ antibody at screening
  • Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) Class II-IV gMG at screening and likely not in need of a respirator for the duration of the study, as judged by the Investigator.
  • The confirmation of the diagnosis of gMG should be documented and supported by ≥1 of the following 3 tests:
  • History of abnormal neuromuscular transmission demonstrated by single-fiber electromyography or repetitive nerve stimulation.
  • History of positive test with short-acting acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (e.g. neostigmine or edrophonium chloride)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from baseline to Month 6 in Myasthenia Gravis Activity of Daily Living (MG-ADL) total score

    The MG-ADL is an 8 item interviewer led patient reporting scale that assesses MG symptoms and their effects on daily activities. MG-ADL is composed of items related to patient's assessment of functional disability secondary to ocular (2 items), bulbar (3 items), respiratory (1 item), and gross motor or limb (2 items) impairment related to effects from MG. Each item is assessed on a 4-points scale where a score 0 represents normal function and a score 3 represents loss of ability to perform that function. The scores ranges from 0 to 24, with a higher score indicating more disability.

    Measured: Baseline to Month 6

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Change from baseline to Month 6 in Quantitative MG (QMG) total score

The scores ranges from 0 to 24, with a higher score indicating more disability.

    Measured: Baseline to Month 6

  5. Change from baseline to Month 6 in Myasthenia Gravis Composite (MGC) total score

    The MGC is a 10-item instrument that measures the symptoms and signs of MG based on physician examination and patient history. Items relate to ptosis, double vision, eye closure, talking, chewing, swallowing, breathing, neck flexion, shoulder abduction, and hip flexion. Each item is scored on an ordinal scale with 4 possible categories and weighted. The total score ranges from 0 to 50, where higher scores indicate more severe impairments.

    Measured: Baseline to Month 6

  6. Change from baseline to Month 6 in revised MG Quality of Life Questionnaire (MG-QOL15r) survey score

    The revised MG-QoL15 is a 15-item health related quality of life questionnaire completed by participants, designed to measure quality of life in gMG. Items on the MG-QoL15 relate to physical, social, and psychological components and are scored from 0 (not at all) to 2 (very much). The cumulative scores range from 0 to 30, with higher scores representing worse quality of life and dissatisfaction with MG-related dysfunction.

    Measured: Baseline to Month 6

    Measured: Baseline to Month 6

  10. Change from baseline to Month 6 in EuroQol-5 Dimensions-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L)

    This questionnaire designed to assess health status in adults. The measure is divided into two distinct sections, the descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The first section includes one item addressing each of five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activity, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). Participants rate each of these items from 1 of the 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, or unable to/extreme. A composite health state is then defined by combining the levels for each dimension into a 5-digit number. The second section includes the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS) that measures self-rated health status utilizing a vertically oriented visual analogue scale where 100 represents the "best imaginable health state" and 0 represents the "worst imaginable health state." Respondents are asked to rate their current health by placing a mark along this continuum.

    Measured: Baseline to Month 6

  11. Proportion of participants with a reduction of ≥ 3 points from baseline to Month 6 in MGC total score

    The MGC is a 10-item instrument that measures the symptoms and signs of MG based on physician examination and patient history. Items relate to ptosis, double vision, eye closure, talking, chewing, swallowing, breathing, neck flexion, shoulder abduction, and hip flexion.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline to Month 6 in Myasthenia Gravis Activity of Daily Living (MG-ADL) total score (time frame: Baseline to Month 6). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
