ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called efgartigimod PH20 SC for adults who have recently been diagnosed with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), a condition that affects the muscles and can cause weakness. The main goal is to see how well this treatment works over a period of 51 weeks. Participants in the trial will be involved for about 58 weeks in total.
To be eligible for the study, participants must be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with gMG within the last year. They also need to have specific antibodies (AChR-Ab) in their blood and have a certain level of muscle weakness, as measured by a score. However, people with certain types of gMG or those who have had specific surgeries or treatments for the condition before may not qualify. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, so it’s still in the early planning stages. If you or someone you know might fit these criteria, it could be a potential opportunity to help advance treatment for gMG.
