Overview / Abstract: |
This 30-minute CME program highlights the latest clinical research about myasthenia gravis, a rare, autoimmune disease that targets the neuromuscular junction. Treatment of myasthenia gravis is highly individualized and depends greatly on the myasthenia gravis subtype of each patient as well as each patient’s comorbidities. There are currently four drugs approved by the FDA, eculizumab, efgartigimod, ravulizumab, and rozanolixizumab. There are also treatments in development. Clinical trial data on these therapies were presented at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting (AAN 2023) held in Boston, MA. This CME program, hosted by Vera Bril, MD, of the University Hospital Network in Toronto, Canada, provides an overview of the latest clinical research presented at AAN 2023 focused on myasthenia gravis. |
