Home injection trial for myasthenia gravis shows promise
NCT ID NCT05681715
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether 62 people with generalized myasthenia gravis could learn to self-administer the drug rozanolixizumab at home using a syringe driver or manual push. Participants were trained and then assessed on their ability to correctly give themselves the infusion. The goal was to see if home self-administration is feasible and safe, potentially offering more convenience for patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- rozanolixizumab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could allow people with generalized myasthenia gravis to conveniently administer their medication at home instead of at a clinic.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed Phase 3 study focused on self-administration ability, not on whether the drug works better than other options. Some participants may still have difficulty or experience side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: * Study participant must have a documented diagnosis of generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) * Study participant is willing to perform and capable of performing home self-administration * Study participant is considered by the investigator for additional rozanolixizumab treatment with the posology proposed in this study. * Body weight ≥35 kg * Study participants may be male or female Exclusion Criteria: * Study participant has a known hypersensitivity to other anti-Fc receptor (FcRn) medications, to any components of the study medication, to any of the excipients (including polysorbate 80), or has a known history of hyperprolinemia, since both polysorbate 80 and L-proline are constituents of the rozanolixizumab formulation * Study participant with a known tuberculosis (TB) infection, at high risk of acquiring TB infection, or latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), or current or history of nontuberculous mycobacterial infection (NTMBI) * Study participant has a clinically relevant active infection or a history of serious infection (resulting in hospitalization or requiring IV antibiotic treatment) within 6 weeks before the Baseline Visit * The study participant previously participated in any rozanolixizumab MG study and met any mandatory withdrawal criteria (unless the reason is directly related to MG0020 participation) or mandatory study drug discontinuation criteria. * Study participant has received a live vaccination within 4 weeks before starting treatment, or a Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine within 1 year before starting treatment; or intends to have a live vaccination during the course of the study or within 8 weeks following the last dose of rozanolixizumab * Study participant with severe (defined as Grade 3 on the Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) scale) weakness affecting oropharyngeal or respiratory muscles, or who has myasthenic crisis or impending crisis
