Resumen

The purpose of this clinical study is to determine the efficacy and safety of a new oral cladribine formulation in participants with Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) in comparison to placebo. It will also investigate the sustained efficacy, the need for retreatment, and the long-term safety of oral cladribine in gMG. An additional component is included to characterize the Pharmacokinetics (PK) of the new cladribine formulation in gMG participants. This study is divided into 3 periods: the double-blind placebo control (DBPC) pivotal period, and 2 extensions, the blinded extension (BE) and the retreatment (RT) period.

If treated with non-steroidal immunosuppressants for gMG, the dose at Screening should not exceed 50 mg/day for azathioprine, 500 mg/day for mycophenolate mofetil, 1 mg/day for tacrolimus, 50 mg/day for cyclosporine, or 7.5 mg/week for methotrexate

However, participants with any prior exposure to cladribine may not enter the study regardless of timing of exposure
