Study Details
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. Furthermore, in trial interviews will be conducted as a sub-study to MyClad with a sub-set of participants to gain an in depth understanding of the participant cladribine treatment and study experience.

Arms
- Placebo Comparator: PlaceboDBPC Period: Participants will be administered with Placebo, orally as 2 separate treatment courses starting on Day 1 and at the beginning of Week 5. BE Period: Participants initially randomized to placebo matched to cladribine in DBPC period will receive cladribine Low Dose or High Dose, orally as 2 separate treatment courses starting at the beginning of Week 25 and at the beginning of Week 29 and retreated if clinically justified with placebo matched to cladribine. RT Period: If clinically justified, participants requiring retreatment with cladribine Low Dose or High Dose or cladribine supplemental dose will receive the selected dose of cladribine or matching placebo regimen.
- Experimental: Cladribine Low DoseDBPC Period: Participants will be administered with cladribine Low Dose, orally as 2 separate treatment courses starting on Day 1 and at the beginning of Week 5. BE Period: Participants initially randomized to cladribine Low Dose in DBPC period will receive placebo matched to cladribine as 2 separate treatment courses starting at the beginning of Week 25 and at the beginning of Week 29 and retreated with cladribine supplemental dose if clinically justified. RT Period: If clinically justified, participants requiring retreatment with cladribine Low Dose regimen and/or supplemental dose will receive the selected dose of cladribine or matching placebo regimen.
- Experimental: Cladribine High DoseDBPC Period: Participants will be administered cladribine High Dose, orally as 2 separate treatment courses starting on Day 1 and at the beginning of Week 5. BE Period: Participants initially randomized to cladribine High Dose in DBPC period will receive placebo matched to cladribine as 2 separate treatment courses starting at the beginning of Week 25 and at the beginning of Week 29 and retreated with cladribine supplemental dose if clinically justified. RT Period: If clinically justified, participants requiring retreatment with cladribine High Dose regimen and/or supplemental dose will receive the selected dose of cladribine or matching placebo regimen.
