A Study of Efgartigimod PH20 SC in Children Between 2 and Less Than 18 Years of Age With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis
An Open-label, Uncontrolled Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety, and Activity of Efgartigimod PH20 SC in Participants From 2 to Less Than 18 Years of Age With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 28 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this study is to measure the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of efgartigimod PH20 SC in pediatric participants with gMG aged 2 to \<18 years. The primary goal is to confirm an appropriate dose of efgartigimod PH20 SC for pediatric patients using PK and PD results from this study. Participants will receive injections of efgartigimod PH20 SC and will be monitored for safety until the end of the study. At the end of the follow-up period, eligible participants may roll over to an open-label extension (OLE) study. The participants will be in the study for up to 14 weeks.

Who the study is looking for
- The participant (and/or their legally authorized representative) understands the requirements of the study and is capable of providing written informed consent/assent and complying with protocol requirements
- The participant is aged 2 to \<18 years at the time of informed consent/assent
- The participant has been diagnosed with generalised Myasthenia Gravis that is supported by a physical examination and confirmed seropositivity for anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies
- The participant has had an unsatisfactory response to immunosuppressants, corticosteroids, or acetylcholinesterase inhibitors but is on stable concomitant MG therapy. If receiving corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressants, must be on a stable dose for ≥1 month before screening
- The participant agrees to use birth control consistent with local regulations and people of child-bearing potential must have a negative blood pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test before receiving the study drug
