Announcement
argenx SE announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a label expansion for VYVGART® (efgartigimod alfa-fcab) and VYVGART Hytrulo® (efgartigimod alfa and hyaluronidase-qvfc) for the treatment of adult patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).
AI Summary
argenx announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a label expansion for VYVGART® (efgartigimod alfa-fcab) and VYVGART Hytrulo® (efgartigimod alfa and hyaluronidase‑qvfc) to treat adult patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). The expanded label covers all adult gMG patients regardless of serotype, and the company says this allows more patients to benefit from VYVGART’s rapid onset, sustained disease control, and favorable safety profile. The medicines are offered in three administration options, including IV infusion and VYVGART Hytrulo subcutaneous self‑injection with a prefilled syringe, which can simplify treatment choices for clinicians and patients.
argenx also offers the My VYVGART® Path support program to help with education, access, benefits verification, and financial assistance. VYVGART and VYVGART Hytrulo are prescription medicines not known to be safe or effective in children. Serious allergic reactions and low blood pressure can occur. Common side effects include respiratory tract infection, headache, urinary tract infection, and injection site reactions with Hytrulo. Patients should discuss medical history, vaccinations, pregnancy, and breastfeeding with their healthcare provider.

Announcement
argenx SE announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 ADAPT OCULUS study evaluating VYVGART® (efgartigimod alfa and hyaluronidase-qvfc) in adults with ocular myasthenia gravis (oMG).
AI Summary
argenx SE announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 ADAPT OCULUS study evaluating VYVGART (efgartigimod alfa and hyaluronidase‑qvfc) in adults with ocular myasthenia gravis (oMG). The study met its primary endpoint (p = 0.012). These results support argenx’s planned supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to expand the VYVGART label to include oMG.
ADAPT OCULUS is the first registrational study to specifically evaluate a targeted treatment for patients living with oMG. The trial used the Myasthenia Gravis Impairment Index (MGII), a validated measure with an ocular‑specific subdomain that assesses the two key symptoms of oMG: diplopia (double vision) and ptosis (drooping eyelid).
VYVGART was well tolerated and showed a favorable safety profile in oMG patients, consistent with prior studies, and no new safety concerns were identified. Full study data will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting.

Announcement
argenx SE announced that Health Canada has issued a Notice of Compliance authorizing VYVGART SC (efgartigimod alfa injection) as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with active chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
AI Summary
argenx SE announced that Health Canada has granted a Notice of Compliance for VYVGART SC (efgartigimod alfa injection) as a monotherapy to treat adult patients with active chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). The once-weekly, 20- to 30-second subcutaneous injection comes in a prefilled syringe, giving patients the option to self-administer or get help from a caregiver or healthcare professional at home, on the go, or in a clinic.
This approval marks the first novel, targeted CIDP therapy in over 30 years and the first—and only—neonatal Fc receptor blocker authorized in Canada for this condition. It is based on results from the global ADHERE study involving 322 patients. In ADHERE, 69% of participants showed clinical improvement in strength and function, and there was a 61% reduction in relapse risk compared to placebo (p < 0.0001). Nearly all patients chose to continue treatment in the open-label extension, confirming the therapy’s promise in a field long reliant on immunoglobulin products.

argenx SE announced the presentation of new data further highlighting the efficacy and safety of VYVGART® (IV: efgartigimod alfa-fcab and SC or Hytrulo: efgartigimod alfa and hyaluronidase-qvfc) across generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) patient populations at the 2025 American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine Annual Meeting (AANEM) and Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) Scientific Session in San Francisco from October 29 – November 1, 2025.
AI Summary
argenx SE announced it will present new efficacy and safety data for VYVGART® (IV efgartigimod alfa-fcab and SC or Hytrulo: efgartigimod alfa and hyaluronidase-qvfc) at the 2025 AANEM Annual Meeting and MGFA Scientific Session in San Francisco from October 29 to November 1, 2025. The results cover multiple generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) patient populations, including seronegative, adolescent, and real-world cohorts.
Key findings from the Phase 3 ADAPT SERON trial show statistically significant improvements in MG-ADL scores for acetylcholine receptor antibody (AChR-Ab) seronegative patients, supporting a broad role for pathogenic IgGs in gMG. Interim ADAPT Jr data in adolescents (ages 12–17) demonstrated similar reductions in total IgG and AChR-Ab levels to adults, with a favorable safety profile. A real-world claims analysis found that over 70% of VYVGART-treated patients reduced glucocorticoid use meaningfully while maintaining clinical benefit.
Final results from the ADAPT-SC+ extension revealed that about 60% of patients achieved minimal symptom expression (MSE), and 88% of those sustained MSE for at least four weeks. Across all studies, VYVGART maintained a consistent safety profile with no new concerns.
