free triiodothyronine: \[fT3\]; free thyroxine: \[fT4\]; ATDs: antithyroid drugs

The ESSDAI was designed to measure systemic disease activity in patients with PSjD and consists of 12 domains. The score varies between 0 (no disease activity) and 123 (max disease activity). The clinESSDAI includes all ESSDAI domains except the biological domain.

The Myasthenia Gravis Impairment Index (MGII) is a scoring tool measuring disease severity. It consists of 22 patient-reported outcomes (PRO) and 6 physical examinations (PE). The Ocular PRO score varies between 0 and 18. The higher the score, the more severe the disease.

AE : adverse event ; SAE : serious adverse event ; AESI : adverse event of special interest.

AE : adverse event ; SAE : Serious adverse event ; AESI : adverse event of special interest.

Adverse events, Serious Adverse event and Adverse events of special interest. Adverse events in the 'Infections and infestations' SOC were defined as AESIs because efgartigimod causes a transient reduction in total IgG levels.

ANCOVA Analysis of Percent Change From Baseline in Total IgG Level at Day 29 (ie, 7 days after the fourth IV or SC administration).

A participant was considered a responder for this endpoint (i.e., had a sustained platelet count response) if the participant had platelet counts of ≥50 × 10\^9/L for ≥4 of the 6 analysis visits between Weeks 19 and 24.

Proportion of participants with pemphigus vulgaris who had CRmin within 30 weeks, defined as the absence of new lesions and complete healing of established lesions while the participant was receiving prednisone at ≤10 mg/day for at least 8 weeks.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory test results (hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) or other safety assessments (electrocardiogram \[ECG\], radiological scans, vital signs measurements) were collected as AEs. All AEs starting on or after first dose administered and until completion of participant's last visit were considered as TEAEs. A serious AE (SAE) was any AE that resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital abnormality, or was medically significant.

The MG-ADL is an 8-item patient-reported scale to assess MG symptoms and their effects on daily activities. The scale comprises 2 items on daily life activities and 6 items on symptoms. The MG-ADL total score range is 0-24, with higher scores indicative of greater disease severity. A patient was considered an MG-ADL responder during C1 if there was a reduction of ≥2 points on the MG-ADL total score (compared to baseline of C1 \[C1B\]) for ≥4 consecutive weeks with the first reduction occurring no later than 1 week after the last infusion of IMP in C1.

CASE= Clinical Assessment Scale in Autoimmune Encephalitis; NMDAR=N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor; Neuropsychological Status. The CASE (Clinical Assessment Scale in AIE) includes an assessment of 9 items: seizure, memory dysfunction, psychiatric symptoms, consciousness, language problems, dyskinesia/dystonia, gait instability and ataxia, brainstem dysfunction, weakness. This overall CASE total score ranges from 0 to 27, with a higher score indicating a greater degree of disability.

The mTCNS (modified Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score) is a clinician-reported outcome measure derived from the original TCNS to improve sensitivity to early and mild neuropathy and to enhance feasibility and consistency inclinical research settings. The total mTCNS score is calculated as the sum of the symptom and sensory subscores, yielding a total possible score range of 0 to 33, with higher scores indicating greater neuropathy severity.

The Modified Rodnan Skin Score is a scoring tool to assess skin thickness in 17 cutaneous sites across the body. Each site is rated on a semiquantitative score ranging from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). The total score is the sum of the individual skin scores and can range from 0 to 51.

CRoff = complete remission while receiving efgartigimod PH20 SC or placebo and being off oral corticosteroid therapy for at least 8 weeks. Complete remission is defined as the absence of new lesions, complete healing of existing lesions and absence of pruritus.

Changes from Baseline in vital signs, electrocardiogram parameters (ECGs), physical examination abnormalities and clinical laboratory assessments.

TEAEs were defined as AEs that first occurred or worsened in severity after the first administration of the treatment. A treatment emergent SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in death; was life-threatening; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization;resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; was a congenital abnormality or birth defect; or other medically significant events. All TEAEs observed were graded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.03 with descriptions of severity for each AE based on the following general guideline: Grade 1= mild; Grade 2 = moderate; Grade 3 = severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 = life-threatening consequences; Grade 5 = death related to AE.

The patients' diastolic and systolic blood pressure were measured pre-dose on dosing days 1,8,15 and 22 and also during the follow up period. The mean change from baseline at each time point is presented. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value before first dose of study medication.

The patients' heart rate was measured pre-dose on dosing days 1,8,15 and 22 and also during the follow up period. The mean change from baseline at each time point is presented. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value before first dose of study medication.

The patients' temperature was measured pre-dose on dosing days 1,8,15 and 22 and also during the follow up period. The mean change from baseline at each time point is presented. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value before first dose of study medication.

The patients' weight as measured pre-dose on dosing days 1,8,15 and 22 and also during the follow up period. The mean change from baseline at each time point is presented. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value before first dose of study medication.

ECG parameters of heart rate, PR, QT, and QRS interval were read locally and performed pre-dose on dosing days 1,8,15 and 22 and on the last follow up visit on Day 78. Any patients recording abnormal clinically relevant findings during the study are presented.

Sampling for clinical laboratory tests including hematology, clinical chemistry, and urinalysiswas performed pre-dose on dosing Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 and throughout the follow up period. Patients fasted for at least 8 hours prior to this sampling. Abnormal laboratory values, or test results were not reported as TEAEs unless they were associated with clinical signs and symptoms that were considered clinically relevant, required therapy or led to treatment discontinuation. Patients reporting TEAEs in any of the laboratory parameters during the study are presented.
