SATURDAY, JULY 16
Join us for breakfast as we discuss the phase 3 pivotal trial data for FDA-approved VYVGART® (efgartigimod alfa-fcab). VYVGART offers a unique mechanism of action for treating antiAChR antibody positive generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in adults. gMG is a rare but debilitating disease, whereby pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies cause failure of signal transmission at the neuromuscular junction. The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is a molecule that recycles IgG antibodies, including pathogenic autoantibodies, rescuing them from lysosomal degradation and perpetuating the underlying pathophysiology behind gMG.

MS and CNS Inflammatory Disease
Industry Therapeutic Update From argenx Innovation in Anti-AChR Antibody Positive gMG Treatment for Adults: Clinical Data of VYVGART in the Pivotal ADAPT Trial Join us for breakfast as we discuss the phase 3 pivotal trial data for FDA-approved VYVGART® (efgartigimod alfa-fcab). VYVGART offers a unique mechanism of action for treating anti-AChR antibody positive generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in adults. gMG is a rare but debilitating disease, whereby pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies cause failure of signal transmission at the neuromuscular junction. The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is a molecule that recycles IgG antibodies, including pathogenic autoantibodies, rescuing them from lysosomal degradation and perpetuating the underlying pathophysiology behind gMG. VYVGART is a human IgG1-derived Fc fragment that blocks FcRn and prevents IgG recycling, resulting in a reduction of circulating IgG, including levels of pathogenic autoantibodies that impair neuromuscular transmission in adult patients with gMG who are anti-AChR antibody positive. Join us and get your questions about VYVGART answered by our distinguished speakers.
INDICATION
VYVGART® (efgartigimod alfa-fcab) is indicated for the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis in adult patients who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody positive.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Infection VYVGART may increase the risk of infection. The most common infections observed in Study 1 were urinary tract infection (10% for VYVGART vs 5% for placebo) and respiratory tract infection (33% for VYVGART vs 29% for placebo). Patients on VYVGART vs placebo had below normal levels for white blood cell counts (12% vs 5%, respectively), lymphocyte counts (28% vs 19%, respectively), and neutrophil counts (13% vs 6%, respectively). The majority of infections and hematologic abnormalities were mild to moderate in severity. Delay VYVGART administration in patients with an active infection until the infection is resolved; monitor for clinical signs and symptoms of infections. If serious infection occurs, administer appropriate treatment and consider withholding VYVGART until the infection has resolved. Immunization Immunization with vaccines during VYVGART treatment has not been studied; the safety with live or live-attenuated vaccines and the response to immunization with any vaccine are unknown. Because VYVGART causes a reduction in immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels, vaccination with live-attenuated or live vaccines is not recommended during VYVGART treatment. Evaluate the need to administer age-appropriate vaccines according to immunization guidelines before initiation of a new treatment cycle with VYVGART.
Please see Important Safety Information within and full Prescribing Information (PI) at VYVGART.com/PI. The full PI will also be available at the symposium. This presentation is not part of the AAN Summer Conference Education or Scientific programs and is not endorsed by the AAN. This activity is not a CME program, nor will CME credit be given for attendance. argenx complies with all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, and industry standards that relate tointeractions with health care professionals, including transparency disclosure requirements.

Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including rash, angioedema, and dyspnea, were observed with VYVGART. In clinical trials, hypersensitivity reactions were mild or moderate, occurred within 1 hour to 3 weeks of administration, and did not lead to treatment discontinuation. Monitor patients during administration and for 1 hour thereafter for clinical signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs during administration, discontinue VYVGART infusion and institute appropriate supportive measures if needed. ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common (≥10%) adverse reactions with VYVGART were respiratory tract infection, headache, and urinary tract infection. USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy As VYVGART is expected to reduce maternal IgG antibody levels, reduction in passive protection to the newborn is anticipated. Risk and benefits should be considered prior to administering live or live-attenuated vaccines to infants exposed to VYVGART in utero. Lactation There is no information regarding the presence of VYVGART in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for VYVGART and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from VYVGART or from the underlying maternal condition. Please see the full Prescribing Information. You may report side effects to the US Food and Drug Administration by visiting http://www.fda.gov/medwatch or calling 1-800-FDA-1088. You may also report side effects to argenx US, Inc, at 1-833-argx411 (1-833-274-9411).
