New drug shows promise for rare Muscle-Weakening disease
NCT ID NCT03971422
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a drug called rozanolixizumab in 200 adults with generalized myasthenia gravis, a condition that causes muscle weakness. The goal was to see if the drug improves daily activities and is safe compared to a placebo. Participants received either the drug or a dummy treatment, and researchers measured changes in symptoms over 43 days.
