E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Moderate to severe myasthenia gravis

E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease that causes weakness
in your muscles; it is caused by a communication problem between
nerves and muscles.

E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Evaluate the clinical efficacy of UCB7665 as an chronic-intermittent treatment in subjects with generalized myasthenia gravis (MG) who are classified as moderate to severe |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- Gather data for future study planning, whether for chronic-intermittent treatment or a longer therapy option by evaluating the general concept that UCB7665 has a clinical effect in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (MG)
- Evaluate the safety and tolerability of UCB7665 administered by subcutaneous (sc) infusion in subjects with MG
- Assess the effect of UCB7665 as measured by total immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations in serum |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Subject has a well-documented diagnosis of myasthenia gravis (MG) at Visit 1 (Screening), based on subject history and supported by previous evaluations
- Subject would currently be considered for treatment with immunological therapy (immunoglobulin/plasma exchange (IVIG/PLEX)) by the investigator
- Subject has well-documented record of autoantibodies against antiacetylcholine
receptor (Anti-AChR) or anti-muscle specific kinase (AntiMuSK)
prior to Screening
- Female subjects must either be: postmenopausal, permanently sterilized or if childbearing potential applicable will use a highly effective method of birth control
- Male subjects must be willing to use a method of contraception |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Subject has previously received treatment in this study or subject has previously been exposed to UCB7665
- Subject has participated in another study of an investigational medicinal product (IMP; or a medical device) within the previous 30 days of Screening or is currently participating in another study of an
investigational medicinal product (IMP; or a medical device)
- Subject has a known hypersensitivity to any components of the IMP
- Subject has a history of hyperprolinemia, since L-proline is a constituent of the UCB7665 IMP
- Subjects with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) only affecting the ocular muscles
- Subjects with severe weakness affecting oropharyngeal or respiratory muscles, or who have myasthenic crisis at Screening or impending crisis
- Subject has quantitative myasthenia gravis (QMG) score of <11 at Baseline
- Subject has a serum total immunoglobulin G (IgG) level <= 6g/L at Screening
- Absolute neutrophil count <1500 cells/mm^3
- Subject has any medical condition (acute or chronic illness) or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could jeopardize or would compromise the subject’s ability to participate in this study
- Subject has any laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the investigator, is clinically significant, has not resolved at randomization, and could jeopardize or would compromise the subject’s ability to participate in this study
- Subject has received a live vaccination within 8 weeks prior to the Baseline Visit; or intends to have a live vaccination during the course of the study or within 7 weeks following the final dose of IMP
- Subject has received any experimental biological agent within or outside of a clinical study in the past 3 months or within 5 half-lives prior to Baseline (whichever is longer) |
