Abstract
Background: Zilucoplan, a macrocyclic peptide complement component 5 inhibitor, sustained efficacy for up to 60 weeks of treatment, with a favourable safety profile in patients with acetylcholine receptor autoantibody-positive generalised myasthenia gravis in an interim analysis of RAISE-XT (NCT04225871). We evaluate the safety and efficacy of zilucoplan up to 96 weeks. Methods: RAISE-XT, a Phase 3, multicentre, open-label extension study, included patients who participated in the double-blind Phase 2 (NCT03315130) and Phase 3 (NCT04115293) zilucoplan studies. Patients self-administered daily subcutaneous zilucoplan 0.3mg/kg injections. Primary outcome was incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Secondary outcomes included change from baseline in Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) score. Results: At data cut-off (11 May 2023), median (range) exposure to zilucoplan was 1.8 (0.11–5.1) years (N=200). TEAEs occurred in 191 (95.5%) patients; the most common TEAE was COVID-19 (n=64; 32.0%). At Week 96, mean (standard error) change in MG-ADL score from double-blind study baseline was –6.33 (0.49) and –7.83 (0.60) for patients who received zilucoplan 0.3mg/kg and placebo in the double-blind studies, respectively. Conclusions: Zilucoplan demonstrated a favourable long-term safety profile. Efficacy was sustained for 96 weeks in patients who had previously received zilucoplan and who switched from placebo.
