This trial is an extension of the antecedent trial ARGX-117-2002. It is a multicenter trial that has been designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability, efficacy, immunogenicity, Pharmacokinetics (PK), and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of ARGX-117 Intravenously (IV) in adults with Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN).

An additional subgroup of de novo participants will also be included in a Fixed-Dose PK cohort.
IMMUNOVANT IMVT-1401-3101 (generalized Myasthenia Gravis)
The purpose of this study is to learn how well batoclimab works and how safe it is, when compared with placebo (an inactive material that looks like batoclimab but does not have any active drug).
The placebo used in this study looks exactly like batoclimab but it does not contain any active medication. Placebos are sometimes called sugar pills, dummy treatments, or shams. We are using a placebo to compare with batoclimab, and to ensure that the changes you report in your health, good or bad, are not only due to chance. In this information and consent form, the use of “study drug” refers either to batoclimab or the placebo.
For this study, 240 male and female participants will be recruited at approximately 110 centers across North America, Asia, Europe, Central America, and South America. The participants will be aged 18 and older.
RAISE (gMG)
From clinicaltrials.gov:
The RAISE study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to confirm the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of zilucoplan in subjects with generalized Myasthenia Gravis. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive daily SC doses of 0.3 mg/kg zilucoplan or placebo for 12 weeks.
UKansas - MOVE (FSHD)
Motor Outcomes to Validate Evaluations in Fascioscaperohumeral Dystrophy (MOVE FSHD)
The primary goal of this proposal is to collect motor and functional outcomes specific to FSHD over time. By collecting measures specific to FSHD, this will help ensure the best level of clinical care is being provided. Also, the hope is to speed up drug development by gaining a better understanding of how having FSHD impacts motor function and other health outcomes (i.e. breathing, wheelchair use, etc.) and how big a change in motor function would be clinically meaningful to those with FSHD.
Motor Outcomes to Validate Evaluations in FSHD (MOVE FSHD) will have approximately 450 FSHD participants followed for a minimum of 3 years. A subset of MOVE FSHD participants, approximately 200, will participate in the MOVE+ sub-study which includes whole body MRI and muscle biopsy.
VERTEX VX24-670-101 (Myotonic Dystrophy 1)
A Study of Long-term Safety and Efficacy of VX-670 in Participants With Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
An Open-label Extension Study Evaluating the Long-term Safety, Tolerability, Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of VX-670 in Adult Subjects With with Myotonic Dystrophy Type I (DM1).
