This is an open-label, single-arm, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, PK, PD, and immunogenicity of eculizumab in Chinese participants with refractory gMG. Approximately 15 participants will be enrolled in the study.
This post-approval study is an open-label, single-arm, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, PK, PD, and immunogenicity of eculizumab in Chinese participants with refractory gMG. There will be 3 periods in this study: Screening Period (up to 4 weeks), Treatment Period (26 weeks, including an Induction Phase and a Maintenance Phase), and Safety Follow-up Period (8 weeks). The overall study duration for an individual participant is estimated to be up to 38 weeks. Approximately 15 participants will be enrolled in the study.
