Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Ability to understand the requirements of the trial, to provide written informed consent (including consent for the use and disclosure of research related health information), and to comply with the trial protocol procedures (including required trial visits). 2. Patients enrolled in the ARGX-113-1801 trial who completed the 24 week trial period. 3. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at baseline before trial medication (infusion) can be administered. Women are considered of childbearing potential unless they are post-menopausal (defined by continuous amenorrhea) for at least 1 year with a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) of >40 IU/L or are surgically sterilized (i.e. women who had a hysterectomy, a bilateral salpingectomy, both ovaries surgically removed, or have a documented permanent female sterilization procedure including tubal ligation). Follicle-stimulating hormone can be used to confirm post-menopausal status in amenorrheic patients not on hormonal replacement therapy. 4. Women of childbearing potential should use a highly effective or acceptable method of contraception during the trial and for 90 days after the last administration of the IMP. They must be on a stable regimen, for at least 1 month: combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, transdermal), progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, implantable), intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner (provided that the partner is the sole sexual partner of the trial participant and that aspermia was documented post procedure), continuous abstinence from heterosexual sexual contact. Sexual abstinence is only allowable if it is the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) is not acceptable. Male or female condom with or without spermicide. Cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide. 6. Ability to understand the requirements of the additional 52 week treatment period of the trial, to provide written informed consent (including consent for the use and disclosure of research- related health information), and to comply with the trial protocol procedures (including required trial visits). 7. Patient has completed a 52 week treatment period.

Pregnant or lactating women, and those intending to become pregnant during the trial or within 90 days after the last dosing. 3.
