SEQUENCE LISTING
[0001] The sequence listing of the present application is submitted electronically as an ST.26 formatted xml file with a file name “SeqList11936”, creation date of September 25, 2024, and a size of 503,576 bytes. This sequence listing submitted is part of the specification and is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. FIELD
[0002] The field of the present disclosure relates to C5 iRNA monotherapies as well as co-formulations and combination therapies that include an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds complement component 5 (C5) and a C5 iRNA for use in methods of treating or preventing a C5-associated disease or disorder, such as myasthenia gravis. BACKGROUND
[0003] C5 is a target for several rare diseases, including myasthenia gravis (MG), paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, and neuromyelitis.
[0004] MG is a rare autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) due to the production of antibodies that bind to the acetylcholine receptor (AChR), often leading to complement-mediated damage of the NMJ. Worldwide prevalence of the disease is approximately 200 per million persons, and there are approximately 60,000 patients in the United States. Clinically, the disease is characterized by fatigable muscle weakness. Patients may present with diplopia / ptosis or peripheral muscle fatigable weakness that isoften multifocal or generalized. Generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) comprises 85% of patients. When gMG affects the intercostal muscles or diaphragm, breathing is affected and the disease can become life-threatening, requiring hospitalization and treatment with mechanical ventilation (myasthenic crisis). Up to 20% of patients have a myasthenic crisis within the first 2 years after diagnosis (Stetefeld et al., Fortschr Neurol Psychiatr 2018; 86(5):301-307; Wendell, Neurohospitalist 2011; 1(1):16-22).
[0005] Evidence suggests that in order to effectively treat paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and avoid undesirable hemolysis breakthrough, complete inhibition of complement is necessary. See Peffault de Latour et al., Assessing complement blockade in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria receiving eculizumab. Blood.2015 Jan 29;125(5):775-83-Epub 2014 Dec 4; Hill et al., Thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Blood 2013; 121(25):4985-96; and Nakayama et al., Eculizumab Dosing Intervals Longer than 17 Days May Be Associated with Greater Risk of Breakthrough Hemolysis in Patients with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria. Biol Pharm Bull 2016; 39(2):285-8.
[0006] Evidence has suggested that in order to achieve therapeutic efficacy for treating myasthenia gravis, with a complement 5 inhibitor, complete complement inhibition was necessary. A Phase 2 clinical trial designed to determine whether near-complete complement inhibition is necessary to achieve maximal clinical benefit in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis was conducted. A conclusion reached from the trial was that near-complete complement inhibition was superior to submaximal complement inhibition. See Howard et al., Clinical Effects of the Self-administered Subcutaneous Complement Inhibitor Zilucoplan in Patients With Moderate to Severe Generalized Myasthenia Gravis: Results of a Phase 2 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Clinical Trial. JAMA Neurol.2020 May 1;77(5):582-592. The dosing of the therapeutic anti-C5 antibodies eculizumab and ravulizumab also suggested that complete complement inhibition in an MG patient, like PNH, was needed for efficacy. Eculizumab (sold as Soliris) and Ravulizumab (sold as Ultomiris) are each approved in the US for treatment of PNH and MG employing the same dosing regimens. SUMMARY
[0007] The present invention provides methods for treating myasthenia gravis where superior efficacy and safety is achieved without complete complement blockade. Thisaspect of the present invention is surprising and unexpected. As mentioned herein, other C5-mediated diseases, such as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), are believed to require complete inhibition of complement for efficacy. In addition, clinical data from a Phase 2 trial using Zilucoplan (a C5 inhibitor) suggested that better efficacy was associated with greater levels of complement inhibition. This suggested that, to treat MG effectively, maximal complement inhibition was necessary. As stated in the report of the Phase 2 Zilucoplan trial, “Near-complete complement inhibition was associated with a faster onset and greater magnitude of benefit than submaximal complement inhibition, and favorable safety and tolerability were observed”. Howard et al., Clinical Effects of the Self- administered Subcutaneous Complement Inhibitor Zilucoplan in Patients With Moderate to Severe Generalized Myasthenia Gravis: Results of a Phase 2 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Clinical Trial. JAMA Neurol.2020 May 1;77(5):582-592). The Cemdisiran monotherapy discussed herein demonstrated superior efficacy in the absence of complete complement inhibition. This aspect is favorable since achieving a high degree of efficacy in treating MG without full complement inhibition may lead to a favorable safety profile. Complement inhibition can increase the risk of infection.

[0053] The present invention includes methods and compositions including anti-C5 antigen-binding proteins such as antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof.
[0054] The term "antibody", as used herein, refers to immunoglobulin molecules including four polypeptide chains, two heavy chains (HCs) and two light chains (LCs), inter- connected by disulfide bonds (e.g., IgG)-for example H2M11683N; H2M11686N; H4H12159P; H4H12161P; H4H12163P; H4H12164P; H4H12166P; H4H12166P2; H4H12166P3; H4H12166P4; H4H12166P5; H4H12166P6; H4H12166P7; H4H12166P8; H4H12166P9; H4H12166P10; H4H12167P; H4H12168P; H4H12169P; H4H12170P; H4H12171P; H4H12175P; H4H12176P2; H4H12177P2; H4H12183P2; H2M11682N; H2M11684N; H2M11694N; H2M11695N; Crovalimab; Eculizumab, Tesidolumab, Mubodina or Ravulizumab; preferably, Pozelimab. In an embodiment of the disclosure, each antibody heavy chain (HC) comprises a heavy chain variable region (“HCVR” or “VH”) ( e.g., any of SEQ ID NOs: 2; 18; 34; 50; 66; 82; 98; 122; 138; 146; 154; 170; 186; 202; 218; 234; 250; 266; 274; 290; 306; 322; or 338; or a variant thereof) and a heavy chain constant region; and each antibody light chain (LC) comprises a light chain variable region (“LCVR or “VL”) ( e.g., any of SEQ ID NOs: 10; 26; 42; 58; 74; 90; 106; 114;; 130; 162; 178; 194; 210; 226; 242; 258; 282; 298; 314; 330; or 346; or a variant thereof) and a light chain constant region (CL). The VHand VLregions can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDR), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FR). Each VHand VLcomprises three CDRs and four FRs. Preferably an anti-C5 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof in a co- formulation of the present disclosure was expressed and isolated from a mammalian host cell such as a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell.
[0055] Antibodies as set forth herein include, for example, monoclonal, recombinant, chimeric, human and / or humanized antibodies.
[0056] In an embodiment of the disclosure, the assignment of amino acids to each framework or CDR domain is in accordance with the definitions of Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Kabat, et al.; National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md.; 5thed.; NIH Publ. No.91-3242 (1991); Kabat (1978) Adv. Prot. Chem.32:1-75; Kabat, et al., (1977)J. Biol. Chem.252:6609-6616; Chothia, et al., (1987) J. Mol. Biol.196:901-917 or Chothia, et al., (1989) Nature 342:878-883. Thus, the present disclosure includes antibodies and antigen-binding fragments including the CDRs of a VHand the CDRs of a VL, which VHand VLcomprise amino acid sequences as set forth herein (or a variant thereof), wherein the CDRs are as defined according to Kabat and / or Chothia.
[0057] In an embodiment of the disclosure, an anti-C5 antigen-binding protein, e.g., anti- C5 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprises a heavy chain constant domain, e.g., of the type IgA ( e.g., IgA1 or IgA2), IgD, IgE, IgG ( e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 ( e.g., including a S228P and / or S108P mutation)) or IgM. In an embodiment of the disclosure, an antigen-binding protein, e.g., antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprises a light chain constant domain, e.g., of the type kappa or lambda. The present disclosure includes antigen-binding proteins including the variable domains set forth herein ( e.g., H2M11683N; H2M11686N; H4H12159P; H4H12161P; H4H12163P; H4H12164P; H4H12166P; H4H12166P2; H4H12166P3; H4H12166P4; H4H12166P5; H4H12166P6; H4H12166P7; H4H12166P8; H4H12166P9; H4H12166P10; H4H12167P; H4H12168P; H4H12169P; H4H12170P; H4H12171P; H4H12175P; H4H12176P2; H4H12177P2; H4H12183P2; H2M11682N; H2M11684N; H2M11694N; H2M11695N; Crovalimab; Eculizumab, Tesidolumab, Mubodina or Ravulizumab; preferably, Pozelimab) which are linked to a heavy and / or light chain constant domain, e.g., as set forth above.
[0058] Pozelimab is sold commercially as Veopoz.
[0059] "Isolated" antigen-binding proteins (e.g., antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof), polypeptides, polynucleotides and vectors, are at least partially free of other biological molecules from the cells or cell culture from which they are produced. Such biological molecules include nucleic acids, proteins, other antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, lipids, carbohydrates, or other material such as cellular debris and growth medium. An isolated antigen-binding protein may further be at least partially free of expression system components such as biological molecules from a host cell or of the growth medium thereof. Generally, the term "isolated" is not intended to refer to a complete absence of such biological molecules (e.g., minor or insignificant amounts of impurity may remain) or to an absence of water, buffers, or salts or to components of a pharmaceutical formulation that includes the antigen-binding proteins (e.g., antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof).
[0060] In an embodiment of the disclosure, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds specifically to complement factor 5 (C5) protein, interacts with one or more amino acids contained within NMATGMDSW (SEQ ID NO: 353) (or at least 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 amino acids therein); or WEVHLVPRRKQLQFALPDSL (SEQ ID NO: 354) (or at least 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 amino acids therein), as determined by hydrogen / deuterium exchange. In an embodiment of the disclosure, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds specifically to complement factor 5 (C5) protein interacts with one or more amino acids contained within the alpha chain and / or the beta chain of C5, as determined by hydrogen / deuterium exchange. For example, in an embodiment of the disclosure, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof does not interact with an amino acid of the C5a anaphylatoxin region of C5, as determined by hydrogen / deuterium exchange. In an embodiment of the disclosure, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds specifically to complement factor 5 (C5) protein interacts with an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of (a) NMATGMDSW (SEQ ID NO: 353); (b) ATGMDSW (SEQ ID NO: 355); (c) WEVHLVPRRKQLQ (SEQ ID NO: 356); (d) WEVHLVPRRKQLQFALPDSL (SEQ ID NO: 354); and (e) LVPRRKQLQ (SEQ ID NO: 357).

[0069] In an embodiment of the disclosed technology, an anti-C5 antibody or antigen- binding fragment thereof is missing the C-terminal Lysine from the heavy chain. Interfering RNA (iRNA)
[0070] The present invention includes methods and compositions including the use of C5 iRNAs such as Cemdisiran (e.g., Cemdisiran Na+form, other salt form or free form), for example for treating or preventing MG.
[0071] In an embodiment of the invention, the C5 iRNA, e.g., Cemdisiran, is in an aqueous solution including water for Injection, US Pharmcopeia (USP) and sodium hydroxide and / or phosphoric acid to adjust the pH to ~7.0.
[0072] The present disclosure provides a co-formulation that includes an anti-C5 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof (e.g., H2M11683N; H2M11686N; H4H12159P; H4H12161P; H4H12163P; H4H12164P; H4H12166P; H4H12166P2; H4H12166P3; H4H12166P4; H4H12166P5; H4H12166P6; H4H12166P7; H4H12166P8; H4H12166P9; H4H12166P10; H4H12167P; H4H12168P; H4H12169P; H4H12170P; H4H12171P; H4H12175P; H4H12176P2; H4H12177P2; H4H12183P2; H2M11682N; H2M11684N; H2M11694N; H2M11695N; Crovalimab; Eculizumab, Tesidolumab, Mubodina or Ravulizumab; preferably, Pozelimab); and an iRNA which effects the RNA-induced silencingcomplex (RISC)-mediated cleavage of RNA transcripts of a C5 gene (C5 iRNA), e.g. Cemdisiran (e.g., Cemdisiran / Pozelimab). The C5 gene may be within a cell, e.g., a cell within a subject, such as a human. The present disclosure provides iRNA agents for inclusion in a co-formulation of the disclosure which effect the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC)-mediated cleavage of RNA transcripts of a complement component C5 gene.
[0073] Dosages of Cemdisiran specifically cited herein include embodiments wherein an equivalent molar amount of the Cemdisiran free form or a corresponding salt form is administered.
[0074] As discussed in detail herein, the present invention also includes a method for treating or preventing a C5 associated disease or disorder, preferably MG, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of Cemdisiran, e.g., Na+salt form or another salt form or free form.
[0075] The present invention also includes a method for treating or preventing a C5 associated disease or disorder, preferably MG, comprising administering about 567 or 566.6 mg (±57 mg) of the Cemdisiran free form or an equivalent molar amount of the free molecule but in a salt form, e.g., Na+form, about every 12 weeks (±7 days).
[0076] Cemdisiran is a chemically synthesized double-stranded oligonucleotide glycoconjugate that is covalently linked to a ligand containing 3 GalNAc residues to facilitate targeted delivery to the liver. All nucleosides are modified with 2′-deoxy, 2′-methoxy, or 2′- fluoro groups and are connected through 3′ to 5′ phosphodiester linkages, thus forming the sugar-phosphate backbone of the oligonucleotide.
[0077] The sense strand (A-125167) contains 21 nucleotides and the antisense strand (A-125647) contains 25. The 3′-end of the sense strand is conjugated to a triantennary GalNAc moiety (referred to as L96) through a phosphodiester linkage.
[0078] The antisense strand (A-125647) contains four phosphorothioate linkages, two consecutive phosphorothioate linkages at the 3′ end and two at the 5′ end. The sense strand (A-125167) contains two phosphorothioate linkages at the 5′ end. The 21 nucleotides of the sense strand hybridize with the complementary 21 nucleotides of the antisense strand, thus forming 21 nucleotide base pairs duplex with a 4-base overhang at the 3′-end of the antisense strand. The bases involved in base pair formation are connected with a center dot (see chemical structure below). Cemdisiran is preferably in asalt form, e.g., the Na+salt form, but the present disclosure includes embodiments including Cemdisiran in the free acid form as well as in other salt forms, e.g., Ca2+or Mg2+salts.
[0079] Cemdisiran, including salt forms thereof, may be associated with a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery system, e.g., including lipids PEG-DMG (1,2-dimyristoyl- rac‑glycero‑3-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000]), PEG-DMPE (1,2-dimyristoyl- sn‑glycero‑3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000]), DSPC (1,2- distearoyl-sn‑glycero‑3-phosphocholine) or DOPE (1,2-dioleoyl-sn‑glycero‑3- phosphoethanolamine). In an embodiment of the invention, the Cemdisiran is not associated with a LNP.
[0080] When expressing, herein, the concentration of RNAi in a composition, such as a co-formulation of the present disclosure, in terms of mass per volume (e.g., mg / ml), the RNAi is in a salt form or a free acid form. Preferably, when referring to Cemdisiran as such, the Cemdisiran is in salt form, preferably Na+salt form. Na+counter-ions are present due to the net-negatively charged ribonucleotide phosphate backbone. The quantity of Cemdisiran free acid form can be obtained by multiplying the Cemdisiran Na+salt form concentration by 0.9443. For example, about 566.6 or 567 mg of a 600 mg quantity of Cemdisiran Na+form is the Cemdisiran free form.
[0081] Some embodiments of the present invention refer to a quantity of Cemdisiran free form which is in a salt form, e.g., 567 mg of Cemdisiran free form which is in Na+salt form. This would refer to a quantity of Cemdisiran Na+ form wherein the amount of free form component of Cemdisiran (not including the Na+) is 567 mg.
[0082] In addition, an amount of Cemdisiran salt form which is the molar equivalent to an amount of Cemdisiran Na+form can be calculated based on the molecular weight of Cemdisiran Na+form of the duplex molecule which is summarized below in Table C. For example, 600 mg of Cemdisiran Na+salt is about 0.00003376143 moles (about 3.38 X 10-5moles or 33.8 micromoles). Table C.

[0087] The present invention includes methods of use a C5 iRNA comprising a double stranded RNA, which may include one or more overhanging bases, including nucleotidestrands 5’AAGCAAGAUAUUUUUAUAAUA3’ (SEQ ID NO: 406) and 5’UAUUAUAAAAAUAUCUUGCUUUUTT3’ (SEQ ID NO: 369); wherein one more of the nucleoside bases is 2′-deoxy, 2′-methoxy and / or 2′-fluoro modified; which may include one more sugar ligands.
[0088] In an embodiment of the disclosure the C5 iRNA (e.g., dsRNA) is characterized by the strand structures: (3’-5’) A=A=G-C-A-A-G-A-U-A-U-U-U-U-U-A-U-A-A-U-A-R1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[0089] The C5 iRNAs that can be included in co-formulations of the disclosure and / or used in methods for treating or preventing MG include an RNA strand (e.g., the antisense strand) having a region which is about 30 nucleotides or less in length, e.g., at least 15, 15- 30, 15-29, 15-28, 15-27, 15-26, 15-25, 15-24, 15-23, 15-22, 15-21, 15-20, 15-19, 15-18, 15- 17, 18-30, 18-29, 18-28, 18-27, 18-26, 18-25, 18-24, 18-23, 18-22, 18-21, 18-20, 19-30, 19- 29, 19-28, 19-27, 19-26, 19-25, 19-24, 19-23, 19-22, 19-21, 19-20, 20-30, 20-29, 20-28, 20- 27, 20-26, 20-25, 20-24, 20-23, 20-22, 20-21, 21-30, 21-29, 21-28, 21-27, 21-26, 21-25, 21- 24, 21-23, or 21-22 nucleotides in length, which region is substantially complementary to at least part of an mRNA transcript of a C5 gene.
[0090] In an embodiment of the disclosure, a C5 iRNA is a glycoconjugate that includes a double stranded RNA complementary to a region of C5 which is conjugated (e.g., by a linker) to a terminal mono-, or bi-, tri-antennary N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) group, preferably triantennary N-acetylgalactosamine.
[0091] In an embodiment of the disclosure, an iRNA agent which may be included in a co-formulation of the present disclosure and / or used in methods for treating or preventing MG, includes a single stranded RNA that interacts with a target RNA sequence, e.g., a C5 target mRNA sequence, to direct the cleavage of the target RNA. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that long double stranded RNA introduced into cells is broken down into siRNA by a Type III endonuclease known as Dicer (Sharp et al. (2001) Genes Dev.15:485). Dicer, a ribonuclease-III-like enzyme, processes the dsRNA into 19-23 base pair short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) with characteristic two base 3' overhangs (Bernstein, et al., (2001) Nature 409:363). The siRNAs are then incorporated into an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) where one or more helicases unwind the siRNA duplex, enabling the complementary antisense strand to guide target recognition (Nykanen, et al., (2001) Cell 107:309). Upon binding to the appropriate target mRNA, one or more endonucleases within the RISC cleave the target to induce silencing (Elbashir, et al., (2001) Genes Dev.15:188). Thus, in one aspect the disclosure relates to a siRNA generated within a cell and which promotes the formation of a RISC complex to effect silencing of the target gene, i.e., a C5gene. Accordingly, the term "siRNA" is also used herein to refer to an iRNA as described above.
[0092] In another embodiment, the iRNA agent which may be included in a co- formulation of the present disclosure and / or used in methods for treating or preventing MG may be a single-stranded siRNA that is introduced into a cell or organism to inhibit a target mRNA. Single-stranded iRNA agents bind to the RISC endonuclease, Argonaute 2, which then cleaves the target mRNA. The single-stranded siRNAs are generally 15-30 nucleotides and are chemically modified. The design and testing of single-stranded siRNAs are described in U.S. Pat. No.8,101,348 and in Lima et al., (2012) Cell 150: 883-894, the entire contents of each of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Any of the antisense nucleotide sequences described herein may be used as a single-stranded siRNA as described herein or as chemically modified by the methods described in Lima et al., (2012) Cell 150:883-894.
[0093] In another embodiment, an iRNA for use in the compositions, uses, and methods of the disclosure is a double-stranded RNA and is referred to herein as a "double stranded iRNA agent," "double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecule," "dsRNA agent," or "dsRNA". The term "dsRNA", refers to a complex of ribonucleic acid molecules, having a duplex structure including two anti-parallel and substantially complementary nucleic acid strands, referred to as having "sense" and "antisense" orientations with respect to a target RNA, i.e., a C5 gene. In some embodiments of the disclosure, a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) triggers the degradation of a target RNA, e.g., an mRNA, through a post-transcriptional gene- silencing mechanism referred to herein as RNA interference or RNAi.
[0094] In an embodiment of the disclosure, the iRNA is a double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) wherein the dsRNA comprises a sense strand and an antisense strand, wherein the sense strand comprises nucleotides (e.g., at least 15 contiguous nucleotides) differing by no more than 3 nucleotides from the nucleotide sequence of C5 (open reading frame underscored): tatatccgtg gtttcctgct acctccaacc

It manifests as a generalized muscle weakness which can involve the respiratory muscles and can lead to a myasthenic crisis, which is a medical emergency. A classic presentation of MG is fluctuating weakness that is more prominent in the afternoon. It usually involves muscles of the eyes, throat, and extremities. The reduced transmission of electrical impulses across the neuromuscular junction due to the formation of autoantibodies against the specific postsynaptic membrane proteins consequently causesmuscle weakness. A wide variety of conditions can precipitate MG, such as infections, immunization, surgeries, and drugs. Myasthenia gravis causes a significant number of complications. These include myasthenic crisis, an acute respiratory paralysis that requires intensive care, as well as adverse events due to long term medication treatment like opportunistic infections and lymphoproliferative malignancies. In an embodiment of the invention, a subject has MG and one or more of such characteristics, e.g., generalized muscle weakness.
[0196] The presence of autoantibodies directed against the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) is a common cause of myasthenia gravis (MG). These antibodies damage the postsynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction and cause muscle weakness by depleting AChRs and thus impairing synaptic transmission.
[0197] Antibodies (Abs) specific for the low‑density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4 (LRP4) occur in some patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). LRP4 forms a multiprotein complex with MuSK and facilitates AChR clustering through the agrin / LRP4 / MuSK / Dok7 / rapsyn pathway.
[0198] Commonly implicated proteins in the NMJ against which autoantibodies are produced include • the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (n-AChRs), • muscle-specific kinase (MuSK), and • lipoprotein-related protein 4 (LPR4).
[0199] The Agrin–LRP4–MuSK protein complex is essential for the formation and maintenance of NMJ, including the distribution and clustering of the AChR.
[0200] Classes of MG include, depending on the type of clinical features and the type of antibodies involved, include (i) Early-onset MG characterized by an age at onset of less than 50 years with thymic hyperplasia; (ii) Late-onset MG characterized by an age at onset of greater than 50 years with thymic atrophy; (iii) Thymoma-associated MG; (iv) MG with anti-MuSK antibodies; (v) Ocular MG characterized by symptoms from periocular muscles; and (vi) MG with no detectable AChR and MuSK antibodies.Gilhus et al., Myasthenia gravis: a review of available treatment approaches. Autoimmune Dis.2011;2011:847393.
[0201] Clinical classification divides MG into 5 main classes based on the clinical features and the disease severity. Each class carries different prognoses or responses to therapy: • Class I: Involves any ocular muscle weakness, including weakness of eye closure. All other muscle groups are normal; • Class II: Involves mild weakness of muscles other than ocular muscles. Ocular muscle weakness of any severity may be present; • Class IIa: Involves predominant weakness of the limb, axial muscles, or both. It may also involve the oropharyngeal muscles to a lesser extent; • Class IIb: Involves mostly oropharyngeal, respiratory muscles, or both. It can have the involvement of limb, axial muscles, or both to a lesser extent; • Class III: Involves muscles other than ocular muscles moderately. Ocular muscle weakness of any severity can be present; • Class IIIa: involves the limb, axial muscles, or both predominantly. Oropharyngeal muscles can be involved to a lesser degree; • Class IIIb: Involves oropharyngeal, respiratory muscles, or both predominantly. The limb, axial muscles, or both can have lesser or equal involvement; • Class IV: Involves severe weakness of affected muscles. Ocular muscle weakness of any severity can be present; • Class IVa: Involves limb, axial muscles, or both predominantly. Oropharyngeal muscles can be involved to a lesser degree; • Class IVb: Involves oropharyngeal, respiratory muscles, or both predominantly. The limb, axial muscles, or both can have lesser or equal involvement. It also includes patients requiring feeding tubes without intubation; and • Class V: Involves intubation with or without mechanical ventilation, except when employed during routine postoperative management.

Available from: https: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / books / NBK559331 / )
[0202] Diagnosis of MG can be done on the basis of laboratory investigations and procedures. Serologic Tests for anti-AChR Abs is very specific, and confirms the diagnosis in patients with classical clinical findings. It is present in four-fifths of patients with generalized MG and only in half of the patients with pure ocular MG (Bindu et al., Ann Indian Acad Neurol.2008 Oct;11(4):242-4). Other patients will demonstrate anti-MuSK antibodies, both anti-AChR and anti-MuSK; anti-LRP4 antibodies; or anti-striated muscle antibodies. The present invention includes treating MG in patients having any one or more of these antibodies.
[0203] Electrophysiologic tests (e.g., RNS or SFEMG) can be performed on patients who are seronegative for antibody testing. Tests for MG are the repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) test and single-fiber electromyography (SFEMG). Both the tests assess for conduction delays in the NMJ. Routine nerve conduction studies are usually performed to determine the functioning of the nerves and muscles before undertaking these tests. The repeated nerve stimulation (RNS) test is done by stimulating the nerve at 2-3Hz. RNS depletes the ACh in the NMJ, and produces a low excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP). A 10% or more decrease in the EPSP between the first and fifth stimulus is diagnostic of MG. Single-fiber electromyography (SFEMG) records action potential (AP) from individual muscle fibers, and thus allows to record the AP simultaneously from two muscle fibers innervated by a single motor neuron. The difference between the time of onset of these two action potentials is called the "jitter." In MG, the "jitter" will increase because of the reduced NMJ transmission.
[0204] The Edrophonium (Tensilon) test is a short-acting acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that increases the availability of ACh in the NMJ. This is particularly useful for ocular MG, where electrophysiologic testing cannot be performed. It is administered intravenously, and the patient is observed for improvement in the symptoms of ptosis or diplopia.
[0205] The Ice-pack test, may be used when edrophonium testing is contraindicated. This test requires an ice-pack placed over the eye for 2-5 minutes. Then, an assessment for any improvement in ptosis is done. This test cannot be used for the evaluation of extraocular muscles.
[0206] Imaging such as Chest computed tomography (CT) or Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be performed in patients diagnosed with MG to assess for thymoma. In cases presenting with pure ocular MG, MRI of orbits and the brain can be performed to evaluate for any localized mass lesions.
[0207] Myasthenia gravis commonly coexists with other autoimmune disorders, and testing for anti-nuclear (ANA) antibodies, rheumatoid factor (RF), and baseline thyroid functions can be indicative of MG.
[0208] The present invention includes methods of treatment that include a step of diagnosing MG in the subject before or during such treatment, e.g., wherein diagnosis is performed using RNS, SFEMG, Tensilon, Ice-pack, imaging tests. For example, the present invention includes a method for treating or preventing a MG in a subject in need thereof comprising administering, to the subject one or more 200 mg (±20 mg) doses of anti-C5 antibody or antigen-binding fragment; and one or more 200 mg (±20 mg) doses of C5 iRNA; wherein prior to or during said treatment, MG was diagnosed in the subject by repeated nerve stimulation (RNS) test comprising the step of stimulating a nerve at 2-3Hz, thereby producing a low excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP), wherein a 10% or more decrease in the EPSP between the first and fifth stimulus is diagnostic of MG and wherein, if the subject was diagnosed as having MG, then initiating or continuing said treatment. Devices
[0209] The present disclosure also provides an injection device including the co- formulations of the present disclosure (e.g., Cemdisiran / Pozelimab) or C5 iRNA monotherapy formulations of the present invention, e.g., including Cemdisiran (e.g., but not including Pozelimab). An injection device is a device that introduces a substance into the body of a patient via a parenteral route, e.g., intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous. For example, an injection device may be a syringe (e.g., pre-filled or auto-injector) which, for example, includes a cylinder or barrel for holding fluid to be injected (e.g., the formulation or co-formulation), a needle for piecing skin and / or blood vessels for injection of the fluid; and a plunger for pushing the fluid out of the cylinder and through the needle bore. In an embodiment of the disclosure, an injection device that comprises a formulation or co- formulation is suitable for subcutaneous, or intravenous (IV) injection. Such a device includes a formulation or co-formulation in a cannula or trocar / needle which may be attached to a tube which may be attached to a bag or reservoir for holding fluid (e.g., saline; or lactated ringer solution including NaCl, sodium lactate, KCl, CaCl2and optionally including glucose) introduced into the body of the patient through the cannula or trocar / needle.
[0210] A prefilled syringe is a single-use device that is provided containing a quantity of a drug product, e.g., Cemdisiran, where the user is not required to fill the device with the drug product.
[0211] The formulation or co-formulation can, in an embodiment of the disclosure, be introduced into the device once the trocar and cannula are inserted into the vein of a subject and the trocar is removed from the inserted cannula. The IV device may, for example, be inserted into a peripheral vein (e.g., in the hand or arm); the superior vena cava or inferior vena cava, or within the right atrium of the heart (e.g., a central IV); or into a subclavian, internal jugular, or a femoral vein and, for example, advanced toward the heart until it reaches the superior vena cava or right atrium (e.g., a central venous line).
[0212] In an embodiment of the disclosure, an injection device is an autoinjector; a jet injector, an on-body subcutaneous injection device or an external infusion pump.
[0213] Autoinjectors are medical devices convenient for the self-administration of injections by patients and for easy administration by healthcare professionals in emergency situations. Although they vary in design and application, autoinjectors are typically built around a spring-loaded pre-filled syringe containing a pre-determined amount of pharmaceutical formulation. Autoinjectors are usually single-use and disposable.
[0214] A jet injector uses a high-pressure narrow jet of liquid which penetrate the epidermis to introduce a co-formulation to a patient's body. External infusion pumps are medical devices that deliver the co-formulation into a patient's body in controlled amounts. External infusion pumps may be powered electrically or mechanically. Different pumps operate in different ways, for example, a syringe pump holds fluid in the reservoir of a syringe, and a moveable piston controls fluid delivery, an elastomeric pump holds fluid in a stretchable balloon reservoir, and pressure from the elastic walls of the balloon drives fluid delivery. In a peristaltic pump, a set of rollers pinches down on a length of flexible tubing, pushing fluid forward. In a multi-channel pump, fluids can be delivered from multiple reservoirs at multiple rates. *****
