Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • Age >=12 years (or >= 18 years in France) at time of signing Informed Consent Form • Confirmed diagnosis of gMG meeting the following criteria: - Documented history of myasthenic weakness - MG severity of MGFA Class II, III, or IV (Patients with MG Class IV at participating sites in France are excluded from the study) at screening - The confirmation of the diagnosis has to be documented and supported by positive serologic test for one of the three antibody types: anti- AChR, anti- MuSK or anti- LRP4 at screening (antibody status must be confirmed by the central laboratory for all antibody types). For sites in Germany and the Netherlands, confirmation of the diagnosis has to be documented and supported by pre-existing positive serologic test results for one of the three antibody types (anti-AChR, anti-MuSK, or anti-LRP4), which must have been ordered by a health care professional (HCP) for the patient as part of the patient's historical SOC • A total MG-ADL score of >=5 points at screening with more than 50% of this score attributed to non-ocular items • Ongoing gMG treatment at a stable dose and not exceeding the maximum protocol allowed doses • No contraindication to at least one of the rescue treatments: IVIg, PE, or high dose corticosteroids • For female patients of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use adequate contraception during the treatment period and for at least 3 months after the final dose of satralizumab Are the trial subjects under 18? yes Number of subjects for this age range: 6 F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 147 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 32

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Exclusion Criteria Related to Myasthenia Gravis (MG): • History of thymic cysts, thymoma, thymic carcinoma or other neoplasm of the thymus as defined by the 2015 WHO classification of tumors of the thymus unless deemed cured by adequate treatment with no evidence of recurrence for >=5 years before screening • History of thymectomy within 6 months prior to screening • Ocular MG (Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America [MGFA] Class I). In France, MGFA Class IV MG at screening • Use of IVIg or subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) within 6 weeks prior to randomization/Day 1 • Use of PE within 8 weeks prior to randomization/Day 1 • Any surgical procedure (except for non-ophthalmic minor surgeries) within 4 weeks prior to screening and planned surgical procedure (except non-ophthalmic minor surgeries) during the study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of satralizumab versus placebo on function in daily life in the acetylcholine receptor antibody seropositive (AChR+) population;Secondary Objective: • Evaluate the efficacy of satralizumab vs placebo on function in daily life in the overall population (OP) • Evaluate the efficacy of satralizumab vs placebo in the AChR+ population and OP on function in daily life, QMG, QoL, Fatigue, Clinical status and Disease severity • Evaluate the durability of the efficacy of satralizumab vs placebo in the AChR+ population and the OP • Evaluate the safety of satralizumab vs placebo • Confirm target engagement and pathway inhibition in response to satralizumab • Investigate the PK of satralizumab by evaluating plasma exposure over 24 weeks • Evaluate the immune response to satralizumab • Evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of satralizumab • Assess the efficacy of satralizumab in the AChR + population and OP • Assess the effect of satralizumab on steroid/IST/AChEI dose modification in the AChR + population and OP • Investigate the pharmacokinetics of satralizumab by evaluating plasma exposure in the OLE;Primary end point(s): 1. Mean change from baseline in total MG-ADL score (AChR+ population) Week 24;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. From baseline to Week 24
