The purpose of this 4-period study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of batoclimab in participants with gMG. In Period 1, participants will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive batoclimab 680 milligrams (mg) subcutaneously (SC) once a week (QW) or 340 mg SC QW or placebo. The primary efficacy endpoint will be assessed by change in the myasthenia gravis activities of daily living (MG- ADL) score in acetylcholine receptor antibody seropositive (AChRAb+) participants. In Period 2, participants previously treated with batoclimab will be re-randomized to stay on batoclimab (340 mg SC QW or 340 mg SC every two weeks) or receive placebo treatment. The secondary endpoint of maintenance of efficacy will be assessed by change in the MG- ADL score in AChRAb+ participants. Participants demonstrating a response to batoclimab during either Period 1 or 2 may enter the long-term extension (Period 3). Participants who complete Period 3 are eligible to participate in Period 4 (Optional Long-Term extension) according to their treatment assignment in Period 3.

Change from Baseline in Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) score in acetylcholine receptor (AChR) Ab seropositive (AChRAb+) participants
MG-ADL is an 8-item, participant-reported questionnaire that assesses gMG symptoms and their effects on activities of daily living. Each item is assessed on a 4-point scale where a score of 0 represents normal function and a score of 3 represents loss of ability to perform that function. Total score ranges from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater functional impairment and disability.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12
Change from Baseline in Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) score in AChRAb+ participants
QMG is clinician-reported assessment to evaluate muscle weakness in participants with MG. The QMG consists of 13 items ranging from 0 to 3 with 3 being the most severe. Total score ranges from 0 to 39, with higher scores representing greater impairment.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12
Change from Baseline in MG-ADL score for AChRAb+ randomized withdrawal participants
Time frame: Baseline (Week 12) to Week 24
Percentage of AChRAb+ participants with greater than equal to (>=) 3-point improvement in QMG score
Time frame: Up to Week 12
Percentage of AChRAb+ participants achieving MG-ADL score of 0 or 1 by Week 12
Time frame: Up to Week 12
Change from Baseline in MG-ADL score in AChRAB- (AChRAB negative) participants
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 12
Percentage of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who has either been administered a study drug or has undergone study procedures.
Time frame: Up to 76 Weeks
Percentage of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes in Vital Sign Measurements
Vital signs, including systolic and diastolic blood pressures, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and temperature will be obtained and recorded at specified timepoints. All vital sign measures will be obtained with the participant in the supine position and having rested for at least 5 minutes.
Time frame: Up to 76 Weeks
Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Changes in Laboratory Results
Blood samples will be collected at specified timepoints for the analysis of laboratory parameters including clinical chemistry, hematology and urinalysis.
Time frame: Up to 76 Weeks
Percentage of participants with clinical laboratory-related TEAEs or treatment emergent laboratory abnormalities.
Time frame: Up to 76 Weeks
