Study summary

This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of SHR-2173 compared to placebo as an add-on therapy to standard of care (SOC) for the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). The study consists of a 4-week screening period, a 24-week treatment period, and a 12-week safety follow-up period.

    2. Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody within 6 months prior to randomization; other B-cell or plasma cell-depleting therapy within 6-12 months prior to randomization;
    3. Alkylating agent within 12 weeks prior to randomization;
    4. Any biologic for MG treatment within 12 weeks prior to randomization;
    5. Neonatal Fc receptor antagonist therapy within 8 weeks prior to randomization;
    6. Janus kinase (JAK), Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), or tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor within 12 weeks prior to randomization;

    8. Live/attenuated live vaccine within 4 weeks prior to randomization, or planned vaccination during the study.
  3. A history of malignancy within 5 years prior to screening;
  4. Infection-related medical history and examinations:

    1. A history of herpes zoster meeting any of the following: 1) A history of disseminated herpes zoster, herpes zoster encephalitis, or ocular herpes zoster involving the retina; 2) Recurrent herpes zoster with 2 or more episodes within 2 years; 3) Herpes zoster infection not fully resolved within 12 weeks prior to screening;
    2. A history of tuberculosis (TB) or latent TB infection;
    3. A known history of primary immunodeficiency, splenectomy, or any underlying condition predisposing to infection;
    4. A history of recurrent infections requiring hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics;
    5. Any infection requiring hospitalization and/or intravenous antimicrobial therapy within 8 weeks prior to randomization, or any infection requiring oral antimicrobial therapy within 2 weeks prior to randomization;
    6. Positive test result for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus antibody, treponemal pallidum antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody; for patients with HBsAg-negative but hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb)-positive, regardless of the status of hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb), HBV-DNA testing is required to confirm their condition, with HBV-DNA-positive patients excluded and HBV-DNA-negative patients eligible to participate in the study.
