NCT ID NCT06967480
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether the drug ravulizumab can improve daily activities in people with early-stage generalized myasthenia gravis who have a specific antibody (AChR-positive). About 40 participants will receive treatment and be followed for 50 weeks. The main goal is to see if symptoms like muscle weakness get better, helping with tasks like talking, chewing, and breathing.
