Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of MG-ADL Responders During Cycle 1 (C1); Analyzed in the AChR-Ab Seropositive Population	The MG-ADL is an 8-item patient-reported scale to assess MG symptoms and their effects on daily activities. The scale comprises 2 items on daily life activities and 6 items on symptoms. The MG-ADL total score range is 0-24, with higher scores indicative of greater disease severity. A patient was considered an MG-ADL responder during C1 if there was a reduction of =2 points on the MG-ADL total score (compared to baseline of C1 [C1B]) for =4 consecutive weeks with the first reduction occurring no later than 1 week after the last infusion of IMP in C1.	Baseline up to Day 63 (end of TC1)
Secondary	Percentage of Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) Responders During C1; Analyzed in the AChR-Ab Seropositive Population	The QMG scale quantifies disease severity based on impairments of body functions and structures as defined by the International Classification of Disability and Health. The QMG scale consists of 13 items that measure endurance or fatigability, and accounts for fluctuations in disease state. The QMG total score range is 0-39, with higher scores indicative of greater disease severity. A patient was considered a QMG responder during C1 if there was a reduction of =3-points on the QMG total score (compared to C1B) for =4 consecutive weeks with the first reduction occurring no later than 1 week after the last infusion of IMP in C1.	Baseline up to Day 63 (end of TC1)
Secondary	Percentage of MG-ADL Responders During C1; Analyzed in the Overall Population	The percentage of MG-ADL responders during C1 in the overall population is reported for this secondary end point; percentage of MG-ADL responders during C1 in the AChR-Ab seropositive population is reported previously as a primary end point.	Baseline up to Day 63 (end of TC1)
Secondary	Percentage of Time That Patients Had a Clinically Meaningful Improvement (CMI) in MG-ADL Total Score up to and Including Day 126; Analyzed in the AChR-Ab Seropositive Population	An MG-ADL CMI was defined as a reduction of =2 points on the total MG-ADL score compared to study entry baseline (SEB).	Baseline up to Day 126
Secondary	Time From Week 4 to Qualify for Retreatment; Analyzed in the AChR-Ab Seropositive Population	Time to qualify for retreatment was defined as time from the Week 4 assessment until the first visit with a <2-point reduction compared to SEB in the MG-ADL total score and MG-ADL total score =5 points with >50% of the total score attributable to nonocular symptoms.	Week 4 up to Day 182 (end of study [EoS])
Secondary	Percentage of Early MG-ADL Responders During C1; Analyzed in the AChR-Ab Seropositive Population	A patient was considered an early MG-ADL responder during C1 if there was a reduction of =2 points on the MG-ADL total score (compared to C1B) for =4 consecutive weeks with the first reduction occurring no later than Week 2 (ie, after 1 or maximum 2 infusions of IMP in C1).	Baseline up to Day 63 (end of TC1)
