Long-term efficacy and safety of ravulizumab in adults with anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive generalized myasthenia gravis: results from the phase 3 CHAMPION MG open-label extension.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Ravulizumab demonstrated efficacy and an acceptable safety profile versus placebo in the randomized controlled period (RCP) of the phase 3 CHAMPION MG trial in patients with anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive generalized myasthenia gravis. We report an interim analysis of the ongoing open-label extension (OLE) designed to evaluate long-term treatment effects.

Methods

Following completion of the 26-week RCP, patients could enter the OLE; patients who received ravulizumab in the RCP continued the drug; patients who previously received placebo switched to ravulizumab. Patients receive body-weight-based maintenance dosing of ravulizumab every 8 weeks. Efficacy endpoints up to 60 weeks included Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) and Quan
