Primary study objective: To confirm the efficacy of HBM9161 subcutaneous injection for the treatment of gMG in Chinese patients
The purpose of this study is to investigate the Pharmacodynamics (PD), Pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and clinical efficacy of efgartigimod coformulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20) as compared to efgartigimod IV infused in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). The study duration is approximately 12 weeks. After screening, patients will be randomized to receive either efgartigimod infusions or efgartigimod PH20 subcutaneously (SC)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a "public health emergency of international concern" (January 31, 2020), has posed a significant threat to global health. This infectious disease, caused by the 'severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2'(SARS-CoV-2), was first reported in China at the end of 2019. As other coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 primarily targets the human respiratory system. The most common symptoms are fever, fatigue, and dry cough. During the second week of the disease, part of patients may progress to shortness of breath, then hypoxemia and severe pneumonia. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), linked to some risk factors such as advanced age and underlying comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease), may be fatal and needs early supportive therapy and monitoring. Some patients with COVID-19 experienced neurological complications including headache, dizziness, hypogeusia and/or anosmia, altered level of consciousness, strokes, seizures, and ataxia, less frequently neuromuscular disorders (NMD) such as acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy. Among NMD, myasthenia gravis (MG) patients, particularly susceptible to infections causing crises, could be of special risk of COVID-19 ARDS. Some general recommendations were established for the management of NMD during the COVID-19 pandemic,with also specific recommendations for MG. However, only data on a small number of patients who were managed in hospital are currently available;in addition, only two cases of myasthenic crisis following COVID-19 were reported. For this reason, the French neuromuscular rare disease network (FILNEMUS: 'FILière NEuroMUSculaire') has created the 'CO-MY-COVID register' to describe the clinical course and prognosis of patients with COVID-19 and pre-existing myasthenic syndrome.
Secondary ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) generalization represents a pejorative evolution and no validated generalization prevention strategy exists. The aim of this observational study was to determine the percentage of patients with OMG generalization and identify factors predictive of that pejorative evolution. Data from patients with OMG registered in the Fondation Hospital A. de Rothschild database between January 1990 and January 2017 were collected. Among the 183 patients registered in this database, 151 patients with available informations were analyzed.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of additional 6-week treatment cycles with rozanolixizumab in study participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).
There are limited objective measurements of MG symptoms as well as a dearth of data at a granular level of MG (myasthenia gravis) symptoms and triggers occurring longitudinally. This study is designed to use the strengths of mobile smartphones which enable participant-driven real time capture of data manually and through augmented sensors such as video and audio, in order to better characterize MG symptoms and flares. The study aims to enroll approximately 200 participants for approximately 9 months until analyzable data is available from at least 100 participants. Participants will complete in-app surveys for 3 months with, audiovisual recording of symptoms. This will take approximately 35 minutes per week after the initial survey.
Primary Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of HBM9161 in patients with attack of MG in China
The purpose of this study is to initially observe the safety and effectivity of RC18 in Participants with systemic 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.
