SUMMARY

• Nipocalimab is an investigational, fully human, high-affinity, aglycosylated, effectorless immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) anti-neonatal fragment crystallizable receptor (FcRn) monoclonal antibody that is being studied for the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in adult and pediatric patients.^1,2

RELEVANT INCLUSION/EXCLUSION CRITERIA FROM CLINICAL TRIALS

VIVACITY-MG3 Study

Vu et al (2024)¹ conducted a phase 3, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of nipocalimab in adults with gMG.

• Patients with a history of severe and/or uncontrolled renal disorder or with clinically significant abnormalities in screening laboratory results that could interfere with study participation and/or jeopardize patient safety or the validity of study results were excluded from the trial.³

Vibrance-mg

Ramchandren et al (2022)^4,5 is evaluating the safety, efficacy, PK, and PD of nipocalimab in children and adolescents aged 2 to <18 years with gMG who have an insufficient response to ongoing, stable SOC therapy in an ongoing, open-label, uncontrolled multicenter clinical trial.

• Patients with a history of severe and/or uncontrolled renal disorder or with clinically significant abnormalities in screening laboratory results that could interfere with study participation and/or jeopardize patient safety or the validity of study results will be excluded from the trial.⁴
