Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) Total Score at Week 26
Baseline, Week 26
Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration (AUClast)
Day 1 up to early discontinuation or Day 92

The AUClast exposure in healthy participants following a single SC dose of 600 mg gefurulimab by AI comparable to the PK exposure using the PFS-SD will be assessed.

Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to time infinity (AUCinf)
Day 1 up to early discontinuation or Day 92

The AUClinf exposure in healthy participants following a single SC dose of 600 mg gefurulimab by AI comparable to the PK exposure using the PFS-SD will be assessed.

Maximum (peak) concentration observed after study intervention administration (Cmax)
Day 1 up to early discontinuation or Day 92

The Cmax exposure in healthy participants following a single SC dose of 600 mg gefurulimab by AI comparable to the PK exposure using the PFS-SD will be assessed.

Serum Concentration of ALXN1720
Day 1 (0.5 hours predose and postdose) and postdose on Days 2, 3, 8, 15, 29, 43, and 57

ArmTypeDescription
ALXN1720EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive a weight-based initial (loading) dose of ALXN1720 on Day 1, followed by weight-based maintenance treatment with ALXN1720 on Day 8 and once every week (Q1W) thereafter for a total of 26 weeks. Following this randomized controlled treatment (RCT) period, all participants will receive ALXN1720 in an open-label extension (OLE) period of 105 weeks.
PlaceboPLACEBO_COMPARATORParticipants will receive placebo during the 26-week RCT period, after which they will enter the OLE period of the study and receive ALXN1720.
Gefurulimab PFS-SDEXPERIMENTALParticipants will be administered gefurulimab as a single dose of 600 mg by PFS-SD on the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
Gefurulimab AIEXPERIMENTALParticipants will be administered gefurulimab as a single dose of 600 mg by AI on the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.

Frequently asked questions about ALXN1720

What is ALXN1720 used for?

ALXN1720 is an investigational monoclonal antibody being developed for generalized myasthenia gravis and for proteinuria. The generalized myasthenia gravis program is in Phase 3, while the proteinuria program has completed a Phase 1 study. It is not approved for any indication.

Who is developing ALXN1720?

ALXN1720 is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker AZN. AstraZeneca is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating the drug in generalized myasthenia gravis and proteinuria.

What phase is ALXN1720 in?

ALXN1720 is in Phase 3 development for generalized myasthenia gravis. A Phase 1 study in proteinuria has been completed. The drug remains investigational and has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency.

What clinical trials is ALXN1720 in?

ALXN1720 has been studied in two clinical trials. NCT05556096 is a Phase 3 trial in adults with generalized myasthenia gravis that is active but not recruiting, with 260 participants enrolled across 23 countries. NCT05314231 was a completed Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study in 13 participants with proteinuria in South Korea.

Is ALXN1720 the same as ALXN1720 SC?

Yes, ALXN1720 SC is another name for ALXN1720. The SC designation refers to the subcutaneous formulation of the monoclonal antibody. Both names refer to the same investigational drug being developed by AstraZeneca for generalized myasthenia gravis and proteinuria.

How is ALXN1720 administered?

ALXN1720 is administered subcutaneously, as reflected in the alternative name ALXN1720 SC. The Phase 3 trial in generalized myasthenia gravis and the completed Phase 1 proteinuria study both evaluated subcutaneous dosing of the monoclonal antibody.
