A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Empasiprubart Compared to Intravenously Administered Immunoglobulin in Adults with Multifocal Motor Neuropathy
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
The main objective of this clinical study is to investigate the effect (efficacy) and safety of 'Empasiprubart' compared to intravenous immunoglobulin treatment (IVIg) in participants with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). MMN is a condition where the immune system attacks the nervous system, leading to weakness in the hands, arms, and/or legs. It is expected that approximately 100 individuals will be recruited at study centers worldwide, including in the United Kingdom. The study will last a maximum of 49 months. During the treatment phase, participants will initially receive either Empasiprubart and IVIg placebo or IVIg and Empasiprubart placebo for 24 weeks. During the second part of the treatment phase, all participants will receive Empasiprubart for 24 months. At study visits, participants will undergo a physical examination and an electrocardiogram. They will be asked to complete questionnaires and undergo physical examinations to assess their MMN status. Blood will be drawn and urine collected.

Intervento studiato
Empasiprubart is a therapeutic antibody that binds to a specific protein in the complement system, a part of the immune system. The complement system plays a central role in the body's defense against infections. Sometimes, the complement system can become overactive and cause inflammation in the body. This inflammation can lead to diseases or conditions such as MMN, which can damage organs and tissues. Empasiprubart may help alleviate this inflammation. The investigational product (Empasiprubart, IVIg, Empasiprubart placebo, IVIg placebo) is administered as an intravenous infusion, meaning it is infused into the participant's vein at the study center.

Malattie studiate
Multifocal Motor Neuropathy
(BASEC)
1. At least 18 years old at the time of signing the study information and has reached the age of consent for participation in a clinical study according to local laws. 2. Has a confirmed diagnosis of definite or probable MMN during the screening. 3. Has responded to IVIg in the last 5 years. (BASEC)
Criteri di esclusione
1. In addition to the investigated indication, there is a known autoimmune disease (e.g., SLE) or another medical condition that would distort the study results or expose the participant to an inappropriate risk. 2. Clinical signs or symptoms indicating other neuropathies than MMN, such as motor neuron diseases (e.g., bulbar signs, brisk reflexes) or other inflammatory neuropathies (e.g., sensory neuropathy).
