Clinical Trial Summary

A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded cross-over study evaluating and quantifying the effect of pyridostigmine on muscle strength and symptoms in Myasthenia Gravis (MG)


Clinical Trial Description

The study aims to evaluate and quantify the effect of pyridostigmine on symptoms and muscle strength in newly-diagnosed patients and patients on stable medication.

Pyridostigmine treatment is initiated in the vast majority of MG patients. No studies have quantified the effect in a randomized trial, and no studies have examined the potential difference in effect in newly diagnosed patients as compared to patients on stable, antimyasthenic medications.

The study will investigate the effect in two groups

1. Newly diagnosed, treatment-naive patients.

2. MG patients on stable antimyasthenic medication. ;
