Secondary	Double-blind Treatment Period: Change From Baseline in the Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis Score (QMG) Score	The QMG score is a physician-reported outcome measure was used to assess MG disease severity and pattern of deficits based on quantitative testing of affected muscle groups. The scale comprised of 13 test items that were graded on a scale of 0 (no myasthenic findings) to 3 (maximal myasthenic deficits). The total sum across all 13 items represents the QMG score. QMG total scores range from 0 to 39 for a given visit, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value prior to the date (time) of first dose of study drug. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-dose visit value.	Baseline (Day 1) and at Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6 (Day 36) and Week 7
Secondary	Double-Blind Treatment Period: Percentage of Participants With an Improvement/ Response on the QMG Score From Baseline	The response is defined as improvement from Baseline on the QMG score by => 3 points. The QMG score is a physician-reported outcome measure was used to assess MG disease severity and pattern of deficits based on quantitative testing of affected muscle groups. The scale comprised of 13 test items that were graded on a scale of 0 (no myasthenic findings) to 3 (maximal myasthenic deficits). The total sum across all 13 items represents the QMG score. QMG total scores range from 0 to 39 for a given visit, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value prior to the date (time) of first dose of study drug. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-dose visit value.	Baseline (Day 1) to Week 7
Secondary	Double-Blind Treatment Period: Change From Baseline in the Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) Score	The MG-ADL is an 8-item, participant-reported outcome measure that assessed Myasthenia Gravis symptoms and their effects on activities of daily living, with each response graded from 0 (normal) to 3 (most severe). The MG-ADL score was calculated by totaling the rating for each of the 8 items. Total MG-ADL scores range from 0 to 24 with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value prior to the date (time) of first dose of study drug. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-dose visit value.	Baseline (Day 1) and at Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6 (Day 36), Week 7
Secondary	Double-Blind Treatment Period: Percentage of Participants With an Improvement/ Response on the MG-ADL Score	The response was defined as improvement (decrease) from Baseline on the MG-ADL score by => 2 points. The MG-ADL is an 8-item, participant-reported outcome measure that assessed Myasthenia Gravis symptoms and their effects on activities of daily living, with each response graded from 0 (normal) to 3 (most severe). The MG-ADL score was calculated by totaling the rating for each of the 8 items. Total MG-ADL scores range from 0 to 24 with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value prior to the date (time) of first dose of study drug.	Baseline (Day 1) to Week 7
Secondary	Double-Blind Treatment Period: Change From Baseline in the Myasthenia Gravis Composite Score (MGC) Score	The MGC was developed by selecting the best performing items from 3 commonly used Myasthenia Gravis specific scales (QMG, Myasthenia Gravis manual muscle test, and MG-ADL) and is comprised of 10 functional domains: 3 ocular, 3 bulbar, 1 respiratory, 1 neck, and 2 limb items. The total score ranges from 0 (no myasthenic findings) to 50 (maximal myasthenic deficits). The scale measures symptoms and signs of MG in these domains incorporating both physician and participant-reported test items. Higher scores correlate with clinical worsening of the disease. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value prior to the date (time) of first dose of study drug. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-dose visit value.	Baseline (Day 1) and at Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6 (Day 36), Week 7
Secondary	Double-Blind Treatment Period: Percentage of Participants With an Improvement on the MGC Score	The response was defined as improvement (decrease) from Baseline on the MGC score by => 3 points. The MGC was developed by selecting the best performing items from 3 commonly used Myasthenia Gravis specific scales (QMG, Myasthenia Gravis manual muscle test, and MG-ADL) and is comprised of 10 functional domains: 3 ocular, 3 bulbar, 1 respiratory, 1 neck, and 2 limb items. The total score ranges from 0 (no myasthenic findings) to 50 (maximal myasthenic deficits). The scale measures symptoms and signs of MG in these domains incorporating both physician and participant-reported test items. Higher scores correlate with clinical worsening of the disease. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value prior to the date (time) of first dose of study drug.	Baseline (Day 1) to Week 7
Secondary	Double-Blind Treatment Period: Change From Baseline in the Myasthenia Gravis Quality of Life 15 Revised Score (MG-QOL 15r) Score	The MG-QOL15r is a participant-reported questionnaire designed to assess how a participant's Myasthenia Gravis affects different aspects related to their quality of life. The scale includes 15 items that are graded on a scale of 0 to2; the total across is the sum of all 15 items and represents the MG-QOL15r score. The range of the MG-QOL15r score is 0 - 30. Higher scores indicate worse outcomes. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value prior to the date (time) of first dose of study drug. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-dose visit value.	Baseline (Day 1) and at Week 4 and Week 7
Secondary	Double-Blind Treatment Period: Number of Participants Reporting Confirmed Positive Anti-RVT-1401 Antibodies	The serum levels of anti-RVT-1401 antibodies were determined. All samples that were potentially positive were analyzed with the confirmation assay where presence of anti-RVT-1401 was confirmed; the therapeutic antibody was used to compete with the analytical responses of anti-drug antibody (ADA) to assess specificity of screened positive samples.	Up to Week 7
Secondary	Open-Label Extension Period: Number of Participants Reporting Confirmed Positive Anti-RVT-1401 Antibodies	The serum levels of anti-RVT-1401 antibodies were determined. All samples that were potentially positive were analyzed with the confirmation assay where presence of anti-RVT-1401 was confirmed; the therapeutic antibody was used to compete with the analytical responses of ADA to assess specificity of screened positive samples.
