Exclusion Criteria:
1. History or presence of significant medical/surgical condition including any acute illness, mental illness, or major surgery considered to be clinically significant or that could have potential impact on safety/efficacy or study procedures
2. Known complement deficiency
3. Prior history (at any time) of N. meningitidis infection
4. Participants with known seropositivity or who test positive for an active viral infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1 or HIV-2), hepatitis B (HBV; except participants who are seropositive because of HBV vaccination) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) during Screening
5. Previous treatment with claseprubart (DNTH103) or participation in a clinical trial with claseprubart. \[
6. Any thymic surgery/biopsy within 1 year of Screening
7. Any known or untreated thymoma.
8. Any history of thymic carcinoma or thymic malignancy
9. History of active malignancy within 5 years prior to Screening, except basal cell carcinoma of the skin, curatively resected squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical carcinoma in situ curatively treated or low-grade prostate adenocarcinoma for which appropriate management is observation alone
10. Concurrent or previous use of the following medication within the time periods specified below.
1. Rituximab or other B-cell targeting therapies (ie, inebilizumab) within 6 months (180 days) prior to randomization (Day 1);
2. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) and plasma exchange (PLEX) within 4 weeks (28 days) prior to randomization (Day 1)
11. Participation in another clinical study of an investigational drug within 90 days or 5 half-lives of the investigational agent
12. Diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or family history (defined as a parent, sibling, or child) of SLE
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Change from Baseline to Week 17 in Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) Scale Score — Baseline (Day 1) to Week 17
The MG-ADL score is an 8-item patient reported outcome (PRO) instrument. The MG-ADL targets symptoms of disability across ocular, bulbar, respiratory, and axial symptoms. The item responses are scored from 0 to 3, and the total score of the MG-ADL is the sum of the 8 items and ranges from 0 to 24, with a higher score indicating more disability.
