Generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) is a chronic, unpredictable disease associated with high treatment and disease burdens, with a need for more effective and well-tolerated treatments.
To evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of zilucoplan in a mild-to-severe, acetylcholine receptor autoantibody-positive (AChR+) gMG population.
Ongoing, multicenter, phase III open-label extension (OLE) study.
Eligible patients had completed a qualifying randomized, placebo-controlled phase II or phase III zilucoplan study and received daily, self-administered subcutaneous 0.3 mg/kg zilucoplan. The primary endpoint was incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Secondary efficacy endpoints included change from baseline in Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) score.
In total, 200 patients enrolled. At the cut-off date (8 September 2022), median (range) exposure to zilucoplan in RAISE-XT was 1.2 (0.11-4.45) years. Mean age at OLE baseline was 53.3 years. A total of 188 (94%) patients experienced a TEAE, with the most common being MG worsening ( = 52, 26%) and COVID-19 ( = 49, 25%). In patients who received zilucoplan 0.3 mg/kg in the parent study, further improvements in MG-ADL score continued through to Week 24 (least squares mean change [95% confidence interval] from double-blind baseline -6.06 [-7.09, -5.03]) and were sustained through to Week 60 (-6.04 [-7.21, -4.87]). In patients who switched from placebo in the parent study, rapid improvements in MG-ADL score were observed at the first week after switching to zilucoplan; further improvements were observed at Week 24, 12 weeks after switching (-6.46 [-8.19, -4.72]), and were sustained through to Week 60 (-6.51 [-8.37, -4.65]). Consistent results were observed in other efficacy endpoints.
Zilucoplan demonstrated a favorable long-term safety profile, good tolerability, and sustained efficacy through to Week 60 with consistent benefits in a broad AChR+ gMG population. Additional long-term data will be available in future analyses.

全身型重症肌无力(gMG)是一种慢性、不可预测的疾病,治疗负担和疾病负担都很高,需要更有效且耐受性良好的治疗方法。
评估zilucoplan在轻度至重度、乙酰胆碱受体自身抗体阳性(AChR+)的gMG患者群体中的长期安全性、耐受性和疗效。
正在进行的多中心III期开放标签扩展(OLE)研究。
符合条件的患者已完成一项合格的随机、安慰剂对照的II期或III期zilucoplan研究,并接受每日自行皮下注射0.3mg/kg的zilucoplan。主要终点是治疗中出现的不良事件(TEAE)的发生率。次要疗效终点包括重症肌无力日常生活活动(MG-ADL)评分相对于基线的变化。
共有200名患者入组。截至截止日期(2022年9月8日),RAISE-XT中患者接受zilucoplan的中位(范围)暴露时间为1.2(0.11-4.45)年。OLE基线时的平均年龄为53.3岁。共有188名(94%)患者发生了TEAE,最常见的是MG病情恶化(n=52,26%)和新冠病毒病(n=49,25%)。在母研究中接受0.3mg/kg zilucoplan的患者中,MG-ADL评分在第24周持续进一步改善(从双盲基线的最小二乘均值变化[95%置信区间]为-6.06[-7.09,-5.03]),并持续到第60周(-6.04[-7.21,-4.87])。在母研究中从安慰剂转换过来的患者中,转换为zilucoplan后的第一周观察到MG-ADL评分迅速改善;在转换后12周的第24周观察到进一步改善(-6.46[-8.19,-4.72]),并持续到第60周(-6.51[-8.37,-4.65])。在其他疗效终点也观察到了一致的结果。
Zilucoplan显示出良好的长期安全性、耐受性,并且在第60周前疗效持续,在广泛的AChR+ gMG患者群体中具有一致的益处。未来的分析将提供更多长期数据。
