October 19th 2024The phase 3 study is expected to include 110 patients with seronegative myasthenia gravis who will be randomly assigned to IV efgartigimod or placebo for a 5-week follow-up, followed by an open-label extension.
Phase 3 PREVAIL Study to Test Bispecific Nanoantibody Gefurulimab in Generalized Myasthenia Gravis
October 17th 2024The PREVAIL trial, presented at the 2024 AANEM meeting, is investigating gefurulimab, a bispecific nanoantibody designed to inhibit complement activation, as a potential treatment for patients with generalized myasthenia gravis.
Phase 3 NIMBLE Trial to Test Effects of Pozelimab and Cemdisiran in Myasthenia Gravis
October 16th 2024Pozelimab and cemdisiran work together to block the complement pathway, which plays a key role in gMG, using two different approaches—one suppresses liver production of a key protein, while the other targets it directly with antibodies.
