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.

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.
