(PDF) Complement Inhibition for the Treatment of Myasthenia Gravis
The FDA has approved ravulizumab (Ultomiris; Alexion), a terminal compliment C5 inhibitor, for the treatment of patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody positive. With the decision, ravulizumab becomes the first approved long-acting C5 complement inhibitor for this patient population. 1.
Neuromuscular Junction Myasthenia Gravis
BACKGROUND Generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) is a rare, chronic, and debilitating autoimmune disease. Activation of the complement system by autoantibodies against the postsynaptic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) leads to destruction of the postsynaptic mem-brane and disruption of neuromuscular transmission. This trial evaluated ravulizumab, a.
