ClinicaliQ Trial Snapshot
  • A Phase III Study to Investigate Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Iptacopan Compared With Placebo in Participants Aged 18 to 85 Years With gMG. — Recruiting • Phase III • Oncology • NCT06517758.
  • Intervention being tested: Iptacopan, a complement factor B inhibitor, is being evaluated as an add-on therapy to standard of care in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) who are seropositive for acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies.
  • Patient eligibility overview: The trial enrolls adults aged 18–85 years with AChR-antibody positive gMG who are already stabilized on standard-of-care treatment, ensuring evaluation of iptacopan's benefit as an adjunctive rather than monotherapy approach.

What This Trial Is Studying

The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, Phase III study, to evaluate efficacy, safety and tolerability of iptacopan in patients with AChR+ gMG who are on stable SOC treatment. Participants who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomized in a ratio of 1:1, to receive either iptacopan or matching placebo, for 6 months (180 days) while continuing on a stable SOC treatment. The randomization will be stratified based on region.

Eligibility Snapshot
  • : * Adult patients with generalized Myasthenia Gravis (age 18-85 years) at screening * Positive serology testing for AChR+ antibody at screening * Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) Class II-IV gMG at screening and likely not in need of a respirator for the duration of the study, as judged by the Investigator. * The confirmation of the diagnosis of gMG should be documented and supported by ≥1 of the following 3 tests: * History of abnormal neuromuscular transmission demonstrated by single-fiber electromyography or repetitive nerve stimulation. * History of positive test with short-acting acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (e.g. neostigmine or edrophonium chloride) * Patient has demonstrated improvement in MG signs on oral acetylcholinesterase inhibitors as assessed by the treating physician. * Baseline MG-ADL score ≥6, with ≥50% of the total score due to non-ocular symptoms * Participants receiving at least one of the following treatments for gMG for ≥ 6 months prior to baseline; * One or more NSISTs or * plasmapheresis, plasma exchange, or intravenous immunoglobulin (at least quarterly) to control symptoms despite treatment with steroids and NSISTs; or * an approved FcRN antagonist approved for gMG; or * rituximab or * other approved gMG disease modifying therapies excluding…
