Summary

This trial is testing an investigational drug called rozanolixizumab in people with generalized myasthenia gravis, a condition that causes muscle weakness. The study aims to see if repeated treatment cycles are safe and can help improve daily functioning. Participants receive the drug as a subcutaneous infusion over several weeks. The focus is on managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
