New drug batoclimab aims to ease muscle weakness in myasthenia gravis
NCT ID NCT05403541
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests batoclimab, a drug that blocks certain antibodies, in 240 adults with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). The study measures if batoclimab improves daily activities and muscle strength compared to a placebo. Participants receive injections weekly or bi-weekly over several periods, with long-term follow-up for those who respond.
