Brief Summary:
This trial is an extension of the antecedent trial ARGX-117-2002. It is a multicenter trial that has been designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability, efficacy, immunogenicity, Pharmacokinetics (PK), and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of ARGX-117 Intravenously (IV) in adults with Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN). The trial will include a double-blinded rollover treatment period (DTP), an open-label treatment period (OTP), and a safety follow-up period.
