What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 13
Number of participants with TEAEs and treatment-emergent SAEs will be reported.
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 13

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline in Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) Scale Score
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 13
The MG-ADL score is an 8-item patient reported outcome (PRO) instrument. The MG-ADL targets symptoms of disability across ocular, bulbar, respiratory, and axial symptoms. The item responses are scored from 0 to 3, and the total score of the MG-ADL is the sum of the 8 items and ranges from 0 to 24, with a higher score indicating more disability.
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 13
Change from Baseline in Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) Scale Score
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 13
The QMG is a clinician-reported assessment to evaluate muscle strength. The QMG consists of 13 items that measure endurance or fatiguability, with each item having a possible score that ranges from 0 - 3. The total possible QMG scores range from 0 - 39, with a higher score indicating greater disease burden.
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 13
Change from Baseline to Week 13 in Myasthenia Gravis Composite (MGC) Scale Score
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 13
The MGC is a validated assessment tool for measuring clinical status of participants with MG. The range of total MGC score is 0 to 50, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. A clinically meaningful improvement is reflected by a 3-point improvement in MGC score. The MGC assesses 10 important functional areas most frequently affected by MG and the scales are weighted for clinical significance that incorporates patient-reported outcomes.
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 13
Incidence of TEAEs and Treatment-Emergent SAEs
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 52 of the OLE
Number of participants with TEAEs and treatment-emergent SAEs will be reported.
Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 52 of the OLE
Serum Concentrations of DNTH103
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 52 of the OLE
Blood samples will be collected for measurement of serum concentrations of DNTH103 at various timepoints both pre- and post-dose.
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 52 of the OLE
Change from Baseline in Complement Total Blood Test (CH50)
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 52 of the OLE
Blood samples will be collected to determine changes in CH50 at various timepoints.
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 52 of the OLE
Incidence and Titer of Antidrug Antibody (ADAs) Against DNTH103
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to Week 52 of the OLE
Blood samples will be collected to measure ADA against DNTH103 at various timepoints.
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 52 of the OLE
