Brief Summary:

The primary objective is:

To evaluate the effect of pozelimab + cemdisiran on daily functioning that is impacted by signs and symptoms in patients with symptomatic generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG)

The secondary objectives of the study are:

  • To evaluate the effect of pozelimab + cemdisiran (ie, combination) and cemdisiran monotherapy on:

    • Clinician-assessed signs of myasthenia gravis (MG) and muscle strength
    • Daily functioning that is impacted by signs and symptoms in patients with symptomatic gMG (cemdisiran monotherapy only).
    • Proportion of patients with improvements in daily function that is impacted by signs and symptoms of MG
    • Proportion of patients that have improvements in clinician-assessed signs of MG and muscle strength
    • Health related quality of life
    • Proportion of patients with minimal MG symptoms
    • Patient- and clinician-reported signs and symptoms of MG
  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of pozelimab + cemdisiran and cemdisiran monotherapy
  • To assess the concentration of total pozelimab in serum
  • To assess the concentrations of cemdisiran and its metabolites in plasma
  • To assess the immunogenicity of pozelimab
  • To assess the concentration of total C5 in plasma
  • To assess the immunogenicity of cemdisiran
  • To study the effect of pozelimab + cemdisiran and cemdisiran monotherapy on complement activation

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) total score [ Time Frame: From baseline to week 24 ]
    The total MG-ADL score ranges from 0 to 24 points, with higher scores indicating greater functional impairment and disability


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from baseline in Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) score [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]
    QMG total scores range from 0 to 39, with higher scores representing greater impairment

  2. Proportion of patients responding on the MG-ADL [ Time Frame: From baseline to week 24 ]
    ≥3-point improvement

  3. Proportion of patients responding on the QMG [ Time Frame: From baseline to week 24 ]
    ≥5-point improvement

  4. Proportion of patients with consistent response on the MG-ADL [ Time Frame: From baseline to week 24 ]
    At least a 2-point MG-ADL improvement on 2 or more consecutive assessments spanning 4 or more weeks during the DBTP

  5. Proportion of patients with minimal symptom expression (MSE) [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]
    Score of 0 to 1 on the MG-ADL

  6. Change from baseline in the Myasthenia Gravis Composite (MGC) total score [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]
    MGC score ranges from 0 to 50, with higher score indicating higher impairment

  7. Change from baseline in Myasthenia Gravis Quality of Life (MG QOL15r) total score [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]
    Total score ranges from 0 to 30 points; a higher score represents greater impairment

  8. Proportion of patients with improvement point thresholds on MG-ADL [ Time Frame: From baseline to week 24 ]
    ≥2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10

  9. Proportion of patients with improvement point thresholds on QMG [ Time Frame: From baseline to week 24 ]
    ≥3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10

  10. Incidence and severity of treatment-related adverse events (TEAEs) in patients treated with pozelimab + cemdisiran or placebo [ Time Frame: Through week 24 ]
  11. Incidence and severity of serious adverse events (SAEs) in patients treated with pozelimab + cemdisiran or placebo [ Time Frame: Through week 24 ]
  12. Incidence and severity of adverse events of special interest (AESIs) in patients treated with pozelimab + cemdisiran or placebo [ Time Frame: Through week 24 ]
  13. Concentrations of total pozelimab in serum [ Time Frame: Through study duration, approximate 172 weeks ]
  14. Concentrations of cemdisiran and its metabolites in plasma [ Time Frame: Through study duration, approximate 172 weeks ]
  15. Incidence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) to pozelimab over time [ Time Frame: Through study duration, approximately 172 weeks ]
  16. Incidence of treatment-emergent ADAs to cemdisiran over time [ Time Frame: Through study duration, approximate 172 weeks ]
  17. Change in CH50 over time [ Time Frame: Through study duration, approximately 172 weeks ]
  18. Percent change in CH50 over time [ Time Frame: Through study duration, approximately 172 weeks ]
