Official title A Study of Telitacicept in Patients With Ocular Myasthenia Gravis (OMG)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07249632
What this study is testing
What is Telitacicept?
Telitacicept is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily, being studied as a potential treatment for myasthenia gravis, ocular.

- What it's testing
- This is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Telitacicept for the treatment of Ocular Myasthenia Gravis (OMG).Approximately 120 eligible subjects aged 12 to 80 years with a diagnosis of OMG (Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America [MGFA] Clinical Classification Type I) will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Telitacicept or a matching placebo. Subjects must be on a stable standard-of-care therapy and have an MG Impairment Index (PRO) ocular score of ≥6 at screening and baseline.The dose is age and weight based.The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of Telitacicept compared to placebo in treating OMG.The primary efficacy endpoint is the change from baseline in the MGII (PRO) ocular score at Week 24.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
