Summary

This study is a long-term follow-up for people with multifocal motor neuropathy, a rare condition that causes muscle weakness. It tests the safety and effectiveness of a drug called ARGX-117, given intravenously. The trial includes 51 adults who previously took part in an earlier study, and it involves both double-blinded and open-label treatment periods.

Active substance

ARGX-117

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a long-term treatment option to control muscle weakness in people with multifocal motor neuropathy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase extension study with only 51 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Long-term safety and effectiveness are still uncertain.
