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.

  • Has a known autoimmune disease or any medical condition that would interfere with an accurate assessment of clinical symptoms of generalised Myasthenia Gravis or puts the participant at undue risk
  • Has/had a clinically significant disease, had recent major surgery (within 3 months of screening) or intends to have major surgery during the study, or has/had any other medical condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would confound the results of the study or put the participant at undue risk

  • 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
