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

- 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
- 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
- Proportion of patients responding on the MG-ADL [ Time Frame: From baseline to week 24 ]≥3-point improvement
- Proportion of patients responding on the QMG [ Time Frame: From baseline to week 24 ]≥5-point improvement
- 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
- Proportion of patients with minimal symptom expression (MSE) [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]Score of 0 to 1 on the MG-ADL
- 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
- 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
- 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
- Proportion of patients with improvement point thresholds on QMG [ Time Frame: From baseline to week 24 ]≥3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10
- Incidence and severity of treatment-related adverse events (TEAEs) in patients treated with pozelimab + cemdisiran or placebo [ Time Frame: Through week 24 ]

- Incidence and severity of adverse events of special interest (AESIs) in patients treated with pozelimab + cemdisiran or placebo [ Time Frame: Through week 24 ]
- Concentrations of total pozelimab in serum [ Time Frame: Through study duration, approximate 172 weeks ]
- Concentrations of cemdisiran and its metabolites in plasma [ Time Frame: Through study duration, approximate 172 weeks ]
- Incidence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) to pozelimab over time [ Time Frame: Through study duration, approximately 172 weeks ]
