Active clinical trials for "Myasthenia Gravis"

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune condition that causes muscle weakness. Autoimmune means the body makes antibodies that attack its own cells and tissues. These types of antibodies are also known as autoantibodies. People with generalized myasthenia gravis have a weakness in many muscles. TAK-079 is a medicine to help people with generalized myasthenia gravis. The main aim of this study is to check if people with generalized myasthenia gravis have side effects from 2 doses of TAK-079. Other aims are to learn if TAK-079 improves their clinical condition and lowers their autoantibody levels. At the first visit, the study doctor will check if each person can take part. For those who can take part, participants will continue with their standard medicines for this condition during the study. Each participant will have a check-up by the study doctor. Then, the participants will have 1 of 3 treatments: A low dose of TAK-079. A high dose of TAK-079. A placebo. In this study, a placebo looks like TAK-079 but does not have any medicine in it. Participants will not know which treatment they received, nor will their study doctors. This is to help make sure the results are more reliable. For each treatment, participants will receive injections just under the skin, once a week for 8 weeks. The study doctors will check for side effects from the study treatments. The study doctors can stop or delay the injections in each participant if needed. Then, the study doctors will continue to check for side effects for up to 24 weeks after treatment. They will also check the clinical condition of the participants, including their autoantibody levels.

Immunomodulation is effective in treating patients with myasthenia gravis (MG), but prior studies have not adequately defined if plasma exchange (PLEX) in superior to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in the treatment of myasthenia gravis. This study aimed to determine if PLEX was superior to IVIG in the treatment of patients with myasthenia gravis. Patients with MG requiring immunomodulation are randomized to IVIG or PLEX and treated with a full course of immunomodulation. The quantitative myasthenia gravis score (QMGS) will be evaluated as the primary efficacy parameter at day 14 to determine if PLEX is superior to IVIG.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety for steroid non-resistant MG patients in a double blind, placebo controlled study.

The RAISE study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to confirm the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of zilucoplan in subjects with generalized Myasthenia Gravis. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive daily SC doses of 0.3 mg/kg zilucoplan or placebo for 12 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of M281 administered to participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) who have an insufficient clinical response to ongoing standard of care therapy.

The investigators aim to better describe the immune profile in myasthenia gravis (MG), including lymphocyte subset, cytokine and complement profiles; how they differ between patients of different severity, at times of disease exacerbation, and with different immunosuppressive treatments. The investigators hope to build a clearer picture of how different immune measures vary in MG, contributing to the understanding of the patho[physiology of the disease, and working towards a biomarker that might help clinicians optimise an individual's treatment. the investigators aim to take into account the heterogeneity of MG by taking into account age of onset of MG (early vs late onset) and focussing on acetylcholine receptor antibody (AChR) positive, non-thymomatous MG aged 18-80.

This study is aimed at assessing the efficacy of Apraclonidine eye drops in the treatment of ptosis secondary to myasthenia gravis.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of UCB7665 as a chronic-intermittent treatment in subjects with generalized myasthenia gravis (MG) who are classified as moderate to severe.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Immune Globulin (Human), 10% Caprylate/Chromatography Purified (IGIV-C) as a corticosteroid (CS)-sparing agent in subjects with CS-dependent Myasthenia Gravis (MG).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and efficacy of CFZ533 as an add-on therapy to standard of care in patients with moderate to severe myasthenia gravis (MG).
