Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Safety outcomes based on adverse event (AE) monitoring and other safety assessments [16 weeks]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Time to the first retreatment with IVIg since the final IVIg treatment of the IVIg monitoring period [16 weeks]

  2. Difference between the time to the first retreatment with IVIg (cycle) and the second time to retreatment with IVIg [16 weeks]

  3. AUC (area under curve) of the change from baseline in mMRC (modified Medical Research Council)-10 sum score [16 weeks]

  4. Change from baseline in the 2 most important muscle groups as assessed by the mMRC (modified Medical Research Council)-14 sum score [16 weeks]

  5. Value baseline in the mMRC (modified Medical Research Council)-14 sum score [16 weeks]

  6. Change from baseline in the mMRC (modified Medical Research Council)-14 sum score [16 weeks]

  7. Proportion of participants showing a deterioration of 1 or more points in at least 2 muscle groups as assessed by the mMRC (modified Medical Research Council)-14 sum score [16 weeks]

  8. Proportion of participants with no deterioration in 2 or more muscle groups as assessed by mMRC (modified Medical Research Council)-14 sum score [16 weeks]

  9. AUC (area under curve) of the change from baseline in GS (grip strength) [16 weeks]

  10. Proportion of participants with a GS (grip strength) decrease of 8 kilopascal (kPa) or more over 3 consecutive days [16 weeks]

  11. Values baseline in GS (grip strength) [16 weeks]

    The baseline for the grip strength is a 3-day moving average per hand, measured as an average of 3 contractions daily, each lasting 3 seconds. Measurement of GS will be done using the Martin vigorimeter in kPa.

  12. Change from baseline in GS (grip strength) [16 weeks]

    The baseline for the grip strength is a 3-day moving average per hand, measured as an average of 3 contractions daily, each lasting 3 seconds. Measurement of GS will be done using the Martin vigorimeter in kPa.

  13. Percent change from baseline in GS (grip strength) [16 weeks]

    The baseline for the grip strength is a 3-day moving average per hand, measured as an average of 3 contractions daily, each lasting 3 seconds. Measurement of GS will be done using the Martin vigorimeter in kPa.

  14. Values baseline in the Rasch-built overall disability scale for MMN (MMN-RODS©) [16 weeks]

  15. Change from baseline in the Rasch-built overall disability scale for MMN (MMN-RODS©) [16 weeks]

  16. Values baseline in upper extremity (arm and hand) function (9-Hole Peg Test [9-HPT], or timed Peg Board Test) [16 weeks]

  17. Change from baseline in upper extremity (arm and hand) function (9-Hole Peg Test [9-HPT], or timed Peg Board Test) [16 weeks]

  18. Serum titer levels of binding antibodies (BAbs) against ARGX-117 [16 weeks]

  19. Change from baseline in free C2, total C2, functional complement activity (CH50) [16 weeks]

  20. Values baseline in free C2, total C2, functional complement activity (CH50) [16 weeks]

  21. Area Under The Curve (AUC) [16 weeks]

  22. Maximum serum concentrations (Cmax) [16 weeks]

Immunization with the first meningococcal vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine, and the single Haemophilus influenza type B vaccine must be performed at least 14 days before IMP administration at V1 according to local country-specific immunization schedules. A documented history of vaccination against Neisseria meningitides, Haemophilus influenza type B, and streptococcus pneumonia will be permitted

Exclusion Criteria:
  1. Any coexisting condition which may interfere with the outcome assessments

  2. Clinical signs or symptoms suggestive for neuropathies other than MMN such as motor neuron disease or other inflammatory neuropathies

  3. Severe psychiatric disorder, history of suicide attempt, or current suicidal ideation that in the opinion of the investigator could create undue risk to the participant or could affect adherence with the trial protocol.

  4. Clinically significant uncontrolled active or chronic bacterial, viral, or fungal infection during the screening and/or IVIg monitoring period (IVMP).

  5. Any other known autoimmune disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with an accurate assessment of clinical symptoms of MMN or put the participant at undue risk (eg, SLE).

  6. History of malignancy unless resolved by adequate treatment with no evidence of recurrence for ≥3 years before the first administration of the IMP. Participants with the following carcinomas will be eligible:

  7. Adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer

  9. Carcinoma in situ of the breast

  10. Incidental histological finding of prostate cancer

  11. Clinical evidence of other significant serious diseases, have had a recent major surgery (including a splenectomy at any time), or who have any other condition in the opinion of the investigator, that could confound the results of the trial or put the participant at undue risk

  12. Prior/concomitant therapy

  13. Cyclophosphamide and/or rituximab and/or eculizumab and/or mycophenolate mofetil within 3 months prior to screening

  14. Use of an investigational product within 3 months or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before the first dose of the IMP.
