A Study to Learn About How Well the Medicine Efgartigimod Works to Treat Autoimmune Encephalitis In Children 12 Years or Older and Adults (Polaris)

7. května 2026 aktualizováno: argenx

A Global, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Efgartigimod PH20 SC in Adult and Adolescent Participants With Autoimmune Encephalitis

The POLARIS study is designed to evaluate how well efgartigimod PH20 SC may work (called "efficacy") and how safe it is for people diagnosed with Autoimmune Encephalitis (AIE). The study consists of 4 parts: in part A participants will receive efgartigimod SC; in part B, participants will be randomized to receive either efgartigimod SC or placebo; in part C, participants who completed part B will receive efgartigimod SC; in part D, participants who completed part C will be observed after their last dose of efgartigimod SC. If AIE symptoms return, efgartigimod SC treatment may be restarted during this time.

The maximum overall study duration for participants is up to 3 years. More information can be found in clinicaltrials.argenx.com/polaris

Detailní popis

The study is designed to address the unmet need for effective immunomodulatory therapy in AIE, enrolling patients across multiple antibody-defined subgroups, with the anti-NMDAR encephalitis group serving as the primary cohort for statistical analysis.
