Summary

This study tests whether a newer drug, efgartigimod, works better and is safer than standard intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) for people with myasthenia gravis caused by a thymoma tumor. About 64 adults who need surgery to remove the tumor will receive one of the two treatments around the time of their operation. The goal is to see which drug better reduces muscle weakness and improves daily function.
