Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change from Baseline to Week 17 in Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) Scale Score
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.
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 17
Secondary Outcomes (10)
Change from Baseline to Week 17 in Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) Scale Score
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 17
Change from Baseline to Week 17 in Myasthenia Gravis Composite (MGC) Scale Score
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 17
Proportion of Participants with Greater Than or Equal to (≥) a 5-point Reduction in MG-ADL Scale Score at Week 17 Compared to Baseline
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 17
Proportion of Participants Who Reach Minimal Symptom Expression (MSE), Defined as MG-ADL 0 or 1 at Week 17, Without Use of Rescue Therapy
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 17
Proportion of Participants with a ≥ 5-point Reduction in QMG Scale Score at Week 17 Compared to Baseline
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 17
