Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) Summary by Time Point and Myasthenia Gravis Type: Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Rank Sum Test Results
Last day (Day 0) of the Run-in period and at the post-treatment visit (i.e., day 10 or the time point at which a patient discontinued treatment early).

Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) is a self-report scale to assess the patient's MG symptoms and functional performance of activities of daily living. The eight items are scored on a scale of 0-3 with 3 representing the most severe symptoms or impaired performance and 0 representing no symptoms or impaired performance. Each item was assessed by the patient at the last day (Day 0) of the Run-in period and at the post-treatment visit. The post-treatment result will be the result obtained on Day 10. If the patient discontinued treatment early, the post-treatment result may be obtained at an earlier time point. The total MG-ADL score was calculated as the sum of each item score, with a maximum score of 24 (most severe symptoms/impairment) and minimum score of 0 (least severe symptoms/impairment). The change from baseline (CFB) at Day 10 was assessed. A Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Rank Sum Test of equality of change from baseline distributions between subjects diagnos

Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) Score
change from baseline in QMG score at end of day 4

The QMG is a physician-rated test including 13 assessments such as facial strength, swallowing, grip strength, and duration of time that limbs can be maintained in outstretched positions. Each assessment is graded as 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), or 3 (severe), for a total range of 0-39. A higher total score indicates a worse outcome.

Subject Global Impression (SGI) Score
change from baseline in SGI score at end of day 4

The SGI is a 7-point scale on which the patient rates their global impression of the effects of a study treatment (1=terrible to 7=delighted). The SGI was assessed by the patient or the patient's parent/guardian/caregiver if the patient was unable to complete the SGI. The SGI has demonstrated concordance with the physician's assessment of improvement.

Subject Global Impression (SGI) Score Summary: Mann-Whitney Main Effects Test Results; SGI Score Mixed Model Analysis
Study Period 1: Baseline (Day 0), Day 8; Study Period 2: Baseline (Day 21), Day 29

Subject Global Impression (SGI) rates the subject's impression of the effects of the study medication during the preceding week with max score =7 (most satisfied) and min score =1 (least satisfied). It will be completed at D0 (baseline for Study Period 1), D8, D21 (baseline for Study Period 2), and D29. Change from baseline (CFB) will be assessed for Study Period 1 (difference in SGI score from D0 to D8), Study Period 2 (difference in SGI score from D21 to D29) and the change in CFB from Study Period 1 to Study Period 2 (difference between CFB during Study Period 1 and CFB during Study Period 2). A Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test for equality of the CFB results in the two treatments in Period 1 and for the equality of the CFB results in the two treatment sequences will be conducted. A mixed effects liner model will be fit with the SGI raw scores as a response and study arm, treatment, period, age group and mutation type as fixed effect terms and patient as a random effect.

Change From Baseline Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) at 14 Days
Assessment at Baseline and Day 14

The QMG is a physician-rated test including 13 assessments, including facial strength, swallowing, grip strength, and duration of time that limbs can be maintained in outstretched positions. Each of the 13 items is scored from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). The total score can range from 0 to 39. Increased QMG total score correlates to worsening symptoms of LEMS.

Change in SGI Score
Assessment at Baseline and Day 14

Subject Global Impression (SGI) is a measure of changes in subject's perception of change in overall wellbeing. The patient is asked to use the 7-point scale below to rate their impression of the effects of the study medication during the preceding 3 days on their physical well being. 1. Terrible 2. Mostly dissatisfied 3. Mixed 4. Partially satisfied 5. Mostly satisfied 6. Pleased 7. Delighted

Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Expanded (HFMSE) Summary Statistics and Mixed Model Analysis
Screening, the first (Day 1) and last day (Day 0) of the Run-in period, during Period 1 at Day 7 and Day 14, and during Period 2 at Day 21 and Day 28

Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale Expanded (HFMSE) assesses motor function by functional item in order of progressive difficulty, with higher values showing higher function abilities. Each item is scored on a scale of 0-2 with 2 representing item achieved unaided and 0 representing inability to achieve item. Each item was assessed by the patient at Screening, the first (Day 1) and last day (Day 0) of the Run-in period, during Period 1 at Day 7 and Day 14, and during Period 2 at Day 21 and Day 28. The total HFMSE score was calculated as the sum of each item score, with a maximum score of 66 (all items achieved unaided) and minimum score of 0 (all items failed). Change from baseline (CFB) will be assessed from Day 0 to Day 28. A mixed effects liner model was fit with the HFMSE change from baseline (CFB) scores at Day 28 as a response and treatment, sequence, and treatment by sequence as fixed effect terms and patient as a random effect.

amifampridine phosphate -placeboEXPERIMENTALEach patient will participate in an open-label unblinded drug escalation/treatment run-in phase for up to 4 weeks until stable dose and frequency of amifampridine phosphate is achieved for 7 days. After this phase, half of the subjects will be randomized to receive amifampridine in Period I and then crossed over to receive placebo in Period II. Each randomized treatment period is 7 days in duration and is separated by a re-stabilization period of approximately two weeks where the subject will be returned to the stable dose administered at the end of the open-label run-in period. Dosing will be between 20 - 80 mg per day and frequency will be between 2-4 times per day.
