Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Safety, Others, Pharmacodynamic, Pharmacokinetic, Efficacy

To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ARGX-117 in adult participants with Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN)

Secondary objectives 4

  1. 1. To evaluate the long-term efficacy of ARGX-117 on muscle strength and/or motor function in adult participants with MMN
  2. 2. To evaluate the long-term efficacy of ARGX-117 on functional ability, arm and hand function, quality of life (QOL), and fatigue in adult participants with MMN
  3. 3. To evaluate the long-term effect of ARGX-117 on health-related productivity and work productivity
  4. 4. To assess the PK, PD, and immunogenicity of ARGX-117
