NCT ID NCT07501702
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called povetacicept in adults with generalized myasthenia gravis, a condition that causes muscle weakness. The goal is to see if the drug safely reduces harmful immune proteins. About 30 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo, and researchers will monitor side effects and immune changes.
