Inclusion Criteria:

* Adults of ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.
* Diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis with generalized muscle weakness, meeting clinical criteria for Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America Class II to IVa classification.

  * In participants positive for Acetylcholine receptor antibody (anti-AChR) or muscle-specific kinase antibody(anti-MuSK)
  * In participants that are autoantibody seronegative i.e. not positive for anti-AChR and anti-MuSK antibodies and participants who are positive for anti-low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4 antibodies (anti-LRP4)
* Has a Screening and Baseline MG-ADL score more than or equal to (\>=) 6 with \>= 50 percentage (%) of the total score due to non-ocular symptoms. Screening and Baseline MG-ADL scores must be stable. The difference between the Screening and Baseline scores should not be more than 2 and there should be no reported MG exacerbation during the Screening period
* If treated with oral corticosteroids: should be on a stable daily dose for at least 3 months prior to and during screening. In such case, the daily dose of oral steroids should not exceed 20 milligrams(mg)/day for prednisone/ prednisolone, 16 mg/day for methylprednisolone, 3 mg/day for dexamethasone, or 80 mg for hydrocortisone or equivalent doses for other corticosteroids.
* If treated with acetylcholinesterase inhibitor should be on a stable daily dose (pyridostigmine dose ≤ 480 mg/day or neostigmine ≤ 300 mg/day) for at least 3 months prior to and during screening
* Have a body weight \>= 40 kilograms
* Other protocol defined inclusion criteria could apply

Exclusion Criteria:

* Immunologic disorder other than MG or any other condition requiring chronic oral, intravenous, intramuscular, or intraarticular corticosteroid therapy. Well-controlled thyroid disease, as per the Treating Investigator or the participants regular treating physician recorded in the source documents, is not exclusionary
* Molecularly characterized or suspected congenital myasthenic syndrome, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, inherited myopathy, muscular dystrophy, acquired myopathy or any other neurologic or systematic disease that mimics MG muscular weakness
* Active, clinically significant viral, bacterial, or fungal infection, including brain MRI or chest X-ray findings consistent with signs of infection such as PML or TB, or any major episode of infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with parenteral anti-infectives within 8 weeks prior or during Screening, or completion of oral anti-infectives within 8 weeks prior or during Screening. Vaginal candidiasis, onychomycosis, and genital or oral herpes simplex virus considered by the Investigator to be sufficiently controlled would not be exclusionary
* Has a history of or current diagnosis of active tuberculosis (TB) or is currently undergoing treatment for latent TB infection or has an untreated latent TB infection as determined by documented results within 3 months of the Screening Visit of a positive TB skin test .
* Active malignancy, or history of cancer or signs of malignancy in any Screening assessment
* Treatment with nonsteroidal immunosuppressants, used in gMG, such as azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus within 4 weeks prior to randomization
* Treatment with FcRn or complement inhibitors (such as eculizumab, rozanolixizumab efgartigimod, ravulizumab, zilucoplan or nipocalimab) within 8 weeks prior to randomization
* History of thymectomy within 6 months prior to Screening.
* History of generalized seizures (except for history of febrile seizures during the participant's childhood).
* Negative or indeterminate for Varicella Zoster Virus antibodies at screening
* History of myasthenic crisis in the last 12 months prior to and during screening
* History of recurrent infections (that is 3 or more infections per year documented in available source data) within the last 2 years
* Discontinuation of treatment with any non-steroidal immunosuppressants used in gMG, such as azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus within the last 6 months prior to Screening
* If treated with non-steroidal immunosuppressants for gMG, the dose at Screening higher than 50 mg/day for azathioprine, 500 mg/day for mycophenolate mofetil, 1 mg/day for tacrolimus, 50 mg/day for cyclosporine, 25 mg/day for cyclophosphamide, or 7.5 mg/week for methotrexate
* Participation in clinical study of any investigational drug within 6 months, or 5 half-lives of the investigational drug used in the previous clinical study prior to randomization, whichever is longer. However, participants with any prior exposure to cladribine may not enter the study regardless of timing of exposure
* Other protocol defined exclusion criteria could apply
