---|---|
Experimental: Zilucoplan Arm
Study participants will receive zilucoplan in pre-defined dose based on their weight.
|
Drug: Zilucoplan
Zilucoplan will be administered subcutaneously to pediatric study participants.
Other Name: RA101495 |
- Plasma concentrations of zilucoplan (ZLP) sampled at Week 4 (Day 29) [ Time Frame: Week 4 (Day 29) ]Blood samples will be collected for measurement of plasma concentrations of ZLP on Day 29 predose.
- Change from Baseline in sheep red blood cell (sRBC) lysis at Week 4 (Day 29) [ Time Frame: Week 4 (Day 29) ]Samples for measurement of sRBC lysis will be collected on Day 29 predose.
- Change from Baseline in complement component 5 (C5) levels at Week 4 (Day 29) [ Time Frame: Week 4 (Day 29) ]Samples for measurement of C5 will be collected on Day 29 predose.
- Occurence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) during the course of the study [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) to Safety-Follow-Up Visit (up to Week 15) ]An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
- Occurrence of treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TESAEs) [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) to Safety-Follow-Up Visit (up to Week 15) ]
A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose:
Results in death Is life-threatening Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization Results in persistent disability/incapacity Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect Important medical events
- Occurrence of TEAEs leading to permanent withdrawal of investigational medicinal product (IMP) [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) to Safety-Follow-Up Visit (up to Week 15) ]An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. AEs leading to permanent withdrawal of study medication.
- Occurrence of treatment-emergent infections [ Time Frame: From Baseline (Day 1) to Safety-Follow-Up Visit (up to Week 15) ]
Percentage of participants who experienced treatment-emergent infections as adverse events.
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
- Occurrence of antidrug antibody (ADA) and anti- polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies at Week 4 (Day 29) [ Time Frame: Week 4 (Day 29) ]ADA and anti-PEG antibodies will be evaluated in serum samples.
- Change in MG-activities of daily living (MG-ADL) score from Baseline to Week 4 (Day 29). [ Time Frame: Week 4 (Day 29) ]The MG-ADL score is an 8-item patient-reported outcome (PRO) instrument. The MG-ADL targets symptoms and disability across ocular, bulbar, respiratory, and axial symptoms. The item responses are scored from 0 to 3, and the total score of MG-ADL is the sum of the 8 items and ranges from 0 to 24, with a higher score indicating more disability.
- Change in Quantitative MG (QMG) score from Baseline to Week 4 (Day 29) [ Time Frame: Week 4 (Day 29) ]QMG score is a standardized and validated quantitative strength scoring system that was developed specifically for MG. The QMG total score is obtained by summing the responses to each individual item (13 items; Responses: None=0, Mild=1, Moderate=2, Severe=3). The score ranges from 0 to 39, with lower scores indicating lower disease activity.
- Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America Post-Interventional Status (MGFA-PIS) at Week 4 (Day 29) [ Time Frame: Week 4 (Day 29) ]The MGFA-PIS is a physician-determined assessment of clinical symptoms of MG after initiation of MG specific therapy. For the purpose of the current study, Minimal Manifestation will be determined at each scheduled time point after treatment initiation (rather than after 1 year). Change in status (improved, unchanged, worse, exacerbation, or died of MG) will also be determined.
- Change in Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQoL), Version 4 domain scores from Baseline to Week 4 (Day 29) [ Time Frame: Week 4 (Day 29) ]The PedsQoL generic core scale (Version 4) is a validated instrument that is suitable for use with pediatric populations. PedsQoL generic core scales assess Physical Functioning, Emotional Functioning, Social Functioning, and School Functioning. The scale has 23 items with a score range of 0 to 4. Following transformation, the score range of each domain as well as the total score is 0-100 with higher scores indicating higher HRQoL.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement: | |
Plan to Share IPD: | Yes |
Plan Description: | Data from this trial may be requested by qualified researchers six months after product approval in the US and/or Europe, or global development is discontinued, and 18 months after trial completion. Investigators may request access to anonymized individual patient-level data and redacted trial documents which may include: analysis-ready datasets, study protocol, annotated case report form, statistical analysis plan, dataset specifications, and clinical study report. Prior to use of the data, proposals need to be approved by an independent review panel at www.Vivli.org and a signed data sharing agreement will need to be executed. All documents are available in English only, for a prespecified time, typically 12 months, on a password protected portal. This plan may change if the risk of re-identifying trial participants is determined to be too high after the trial is completed; in this case and to protect participants, individual patient-level data would not be made available. |
