Q: Who can participate in NCT07284420?

Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.

Q: How do I contact the trial site for NCT07284420?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Q: Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.

An ISA to Master Protocol ARGX-999-2-MG-2000 for an Exploratory, Phase 2a, Proof-of-Concept Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Empasiprubart IV as Add-On Therapy to Efgartigimod IV in Participants With AChR-Ab Seropositive Generalized Myasthenia Gravis With a Partial Clinical Response to Efgartigimod

ADAPT Forward 1 - ISA1 - a Study to Evaluate Empasiprubart IV as add-on Therapy to Efgartigimod IV in Participants With AChR-Ab Seropositive Generalized Myasthenia Gravis With a Partial Clinical Response to Efgartigimod (NCT07284420) is a Phase 2 interventional studying AChR-Ab Seropositive Generalized Myasthenia Gravis and Myasthenia Gravis, sponsored by argenx. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This study is part of the ADAPT Forward platform study (NCT07294170). ADAPT Forward is a platform study with the aim to look at how safe different drugs are and how well they work for people with myasthenia gravis. The goal is to find the best therapeutic approach to reduce patients' side effects and improve their quality of life. The aim of this ISA1 is to evaluate the safety and therapeutic relevance of empasiprubart as add-on therapy to efgartigimod in participants with AChR-Ab seropositive generalized myasthenia gravis. The ADAPT Forward master protocol is registered on https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07294170

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against AChR-Ab Seropositive Generalized Myasthenia Gravis and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 70 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused AChR-Ab Seropositive Generalized Myasthenia Gravis subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Is seropositive for anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies (AChR-Ab) - Has confirmed diagnosis of gMG and is Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) Class II, III, IVa, or IVb - Has documented immunization against encapsulated bacterial pathogens (Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae) within 5 years of ISA screening or is willing to receive immunization at least 14 days before the first study drug administration Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Clinical diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) - Any known complement deficiency - Current administration of a complement inhibitor or received zilucoplan or eculizumab \<2 months or ravulizumab \<6 months before the first study drug administration - Patients proven to be refractory to efgartigimod (ie, not achieving a clinically meaningful improvement in total Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) score defined as an improvement of ≥2 points) Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
