Filter by:This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tolebrutinib compared with placebo in adult participants aged 18 to 85 years old with moderate-to-severe generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), who received Standard of Care (SoC). The double-blind (DB) treatment period of 26 weeks comprised of 7 site visits followed by a 2-year open label extension (OLE) period with quarterly visits. The efficacy of tolebrutinib versus placebo during the DB period was assessed by clinical evaluations, including scales based on physician examination or direct participant feedback i.e., patient reported outcomes (PROs). These evaluations continued during the OLE to measure long term efficacy and safety.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of M281 in participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG)
This pilot research study is being done to see if the drug abatacept (Orencia ®) will be helpful in treating patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) who do not respond satisfactorily to other drugs that are used to suppress the immune system. Abatacept has been successful in treating experimental MG in laboratory animals, and this study is to determine its effectiveness in patients with MG.
The aim of this pilot study is to investigate the application of proteasome inhibitor Bortezomib (Velcade®, approved for therapy of multiple myeloma) in patients with therapy-refractory antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases. The investigators hypothesis is that the proteasome inhibition will lead to reduced antibody titers and improved clinical outcome.
The study is being done with patients with Myasthenia Gravis (MG), age 18-80 years, positive acetylcholine receptor antibody, receiving greater than 30mg of prednisone daily. Patients may or may not be receiving anticholinesterase agents. A common treatment for patients with this disease includes the administration of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), which is a plasma protein that is given to help maintain adequate antibody levels to prevent infections and decrease the symptoms of the disease of Myasthenia Gravis. This study is being done to test if giving this medication in a subcutaneous form (into the fat of the abdomen, legs and thighs) will be better tolerated for patients with Myasthenia Gravis.
The primary objective of this early-stage clinical study is to demonstrate an effect of single doses of CK-2017357 on measures of skeletal muscle function and fatigability in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (MG).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of prednisone in patients diagnosed with ocular myasthenia. Funding Source - FDA OOPD
The purpose of this study is to determine whether eculizumab is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with generalized myasthenia gravis despite treatment with various immunosuppressants, such as prednisone, methotrexate, Cellcept, cyclosporine, and cyclophosphamide, that are currently available.
MG may be neonatal, congenital, or autoimmune. Neonatal MG arises from transplacental transfer of ACh receptor antibodies from a mother with autoimmune MG to the fetus. Neonatal MG resolves with post delivery clearance of maternal antibodies. Congenital MG results from a genetic defect in the ACh receptor. Patients with congenital MG do not have ACh receptor antibodies. Both neonatal and congenital MG are excluded from this study. Autoimmune MG, which is the most common form of MG, affects approximately 25,000 Americans. Like most autoimmune diseases, it is associated with particular HLA genotypes, has a female predominance, and environmental factors involved in breaking tolerance to the ACh receptor are unknown. Patients with refractory and severe autoimmune MG will be considered candidates for this study. The purpose of this study is to assess the toxicity/feasibility (phase I) of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for refractory myasthenia gravis.
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether intravenous immunoglobulin is an effective therapy for patients with mild or moderate myasthenia gravis.
