Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of efgartigimod PH20 SC over a longer period of time in adult participants with moderate-to-severe bullous pemphigoid (BP) who have completed ARGX-113-2009 study. The study will also evaluate the efficacy of efgartigimod PH20 SC.
Eligible participants can roll over from the main study (ARGX-113-2009) to this open-label extension study (ARGX-113-2010). The study consists of a treatment period of up to 48 weeks in which participants could receive efgartigimod PH20 SC according to their clinical status. After the first 5 visits, the participants will visit the study centres at least once every 4 weeks. The participants who are not receiving efgartigimod PH20 SC (after the main study or currently on the study), will enter an observation period with study visits at least once every 8 weeks. If the participant relapses, they can re-enter the treatment period where they will receive efgartigimod PH20 SC. The treatment and observation period is followed by a follow-up period of 8 weeks. Oral or topical corticosteroids can be administered at the investigator's discretion.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
