At-Home injection offers new hope for Muscle-Weakening disease

NCT ID NCT05514873

Summary

This study tested if people with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), a chronic autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness, could safely switch from receiving their medication through regular intravenous (IV) infusions at a clinic to giving themselves a daily injection (zilucoplan) at home. The main goal was to check if the switch was safe and well-tolerated, while also seeing if the new treatment continued to control their symptoms effectively over 12 weeks. It involved 26 adults who were already stable on their IV treatment.
