What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing ARGX-117, a new treatment, in people with a nerve condition called MMN who are already using IVIg. The goal is to see if ARGX-117 can better manage their nerve function.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you must have been on a stable IVIg regimen for at least 3 months before screening. Some medications like cyclophosphamide, rituximab, eculizumab, and mycophenolate mofetil should not have been used within 3 months prior to screening.

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug ARGX-117 for treating multifocal motor neuropathy?

The research highlights the effectiveness of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in treating multifocal motor neuropathy, suggesting that similar treatments like ARGX-117, which may work in a comparable way, could also be effective.12345

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

Adults with Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN) who are stable on IVIg treatment can join this trial. They must be at least 18, have been vaccinated against certain infections, and use approved contraception methods. People with severe psychiatric issues, other serious diseases, recent major surgery, drug abuse history or certain medication use in the last 3 months cannot participate.

Inclusion Criteria

I have been on a stable IVIg treatment for at least 3 months.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

  • ARGX-117
  • Placebo
Trial Overview The trial is testing two different doses of a new drug called ARGX-117 compared to a placebo in people with MMN. It's designed to see if ARGX-117 is safe and works well when added to their regular IVIg therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the groups without knowing which one they're in.
