Summary

This study tested an experimental drug called RC18 in 29 adults with systemic myasthenia gravis, a condition that causes muscle weakness. The goal was to see if RC18 is safe and can help control symptoms. Participants received the drug while continuing their usual treatments, and researchers measured changes in muscle strength over 24 weeks.
