Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to measure the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of efgartigimod PH20 SC in pediatric participants with gMG aged 2 to <18 years. The primary goal is to confirm an appropriate dose of efgartigimod PH20 SC for pediatric patients using PK and PD results from this study. Participants will receive injections of efgartigimod PH20 SC and will be monitored for safety until the end of the study. At the end of the follow-up period, eligible participants may roll over to an open-label extension (OLE) study.

The participants will be in the study for up to 14 weeks.

  • The participant has been diagnosed with generalised Myasthenia Gravis that issupported by a physical examination and confirmed seropositivity foranti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies

  • The participant has had an unsatisfactory response to immunosuppressants,corticosteroids, or acetylcholinesterase inhibitors but is on stable concomitant MGtherapy. If receiving corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressants, must be on a stabledose for ≥1 month before screening

  • Received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within <4 weeks before screening

  • Received a thymectomy within 3 months before screening or is planning to get athymectomy during their participation in the study

  • Has a known autoimmune disease or any medical condition that would interfere with anaccurate assessment of clinical symptoms of generalised Myasthenia Gravis or putsthe participant at undue risk

  • Has a positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 at screening

  • Has/had a clinically significant disease, had recent major surgery (within 3 monthsof screening) or intends to have major surgery during the study, or has/had anyother medical condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would confound theresults of the study or put the participant at undue risk

  • Has received a different study drug in another clinical study within <12 beforescreening

  • Is currently participating in another interventional clinical study

  • Has previously participated in an efgartigimod clinical study and received at leastone dose of study drug

  • Has a known hypersensitivity to study drug or any of its excipients
