Could a new drug help keep myasthenia gravis symptoms at bay?
NCT ID NCT07673744
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether ublituximab, given as an infusion, can help adults with myasthenia gravis maintain symptom control after initial treatment with efgartigimod. Participants will receive either ublituximab or a placebo, and researchers will track how long it takes for symptoms to worsen. The goal is to see if ublituximab can delay or prevent flare-ups in this autoimmune disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ublituximab (BRIUMVI)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new maintenance option to help people with myasthenia gravis stay stable longer and delay symptom worsening.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 2 trial with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may cause side effects or fail to show benefit over placebo.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Documentation of MG diagnosis. 2. Eligible for treatment with efgartigimod per effective local product label, confirmed by serological testing at screening. 3. MG-ADL score at the time of screening more than or equal to (≥) 6 and less than or equal to (≤) 10 with more than (\>) 50 percent (%) of this score attributed to non-ocular items, or an MG-ADL score ≥ 11. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Active chronic (or stable but treated with immune therapy) disease of the immune system other than MG (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, Sjögren's syndrome, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, etc.) or immunodeficiency syndrome (hereditary immune deficiency, drug-induced immune deficiency, etc.). 2. Lack of efficacy or observed safety concerns from prior neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) treatment. 3. Prior treatment with B-cell depleting therapy, alemtuzumab, total lymphoid irradiation, bone marrow transplant, T-cell vaccination therapy, or natalizumab at any time prior to screening. 4. Participants with significantly impaired organ function. 5. History of life-threatening injection/infusion related reaction (IRR/ISR), hypersensitivity, or anaphylactic reaction with components of efgartigimod or ublituximab solutions, protocol-allowed rescue medications, or protocol required pre-treatment medications. 6. Unwillingness or inability to comply with study and/or follow-up procedures outlined in the protocol. Note: Other protocol-specified Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
