Overview

This is a prospective, multicenter single arm study designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a predefined oral corticosteroids (OCS) tapering schedule to reduce OCS use in adult participants with acetylcholine receptor positive (AChR+) generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) being treated with intravenous ravulizumab.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Aged greater than 18 years and male or female
  • Clinical diagnosis of gMG
  • Receiving ravulizumab treatment prior to enrollment
  • Receipt of OCS therapy equivalent to a daily dose ≥ 7.5 mg of prednisone/prednisolone for ≥ 4 continuous weeks directly preceding enrollment
  • A participant of childbearing potential must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (serum or urine, as required by local regulations) taken at Screening before OCS tapering begins.
  • Willing to sign informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Concurrent participation in an interventional clinical trial.
  • History of chronic hypoadrenalism (ie, Addison's disease).
  • Use of concomitant OCS for comorbid conditions other than gMG
  • Receipt of a biologic for gMG (e.g., efgartigimod, rozanolixizumab, inebilizumab, rituximab, intravenous immunoglobulin) within 5 half-lives of enrollment
  • Pregnant, breastfeeding, or intending to conceive during the course of the study
