💬In plain words
What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) is a rare autoimmune disease (a disease in which the body attacks its own tissues) that causes muscle weakness and significant fatigue.
Current treatments (corticosteroids, plasma exchange, intravenous immunoglobulin infusions) improve symptoms in many patients. However, many continue to suffer from fatigue and fatigability that are not well measured by standard tools. Moreover, these treatments can cause significant long-term side effects, reducing quality of life.
New treatments such as Rozanolixizumab (ROZ) are now available. They act rapidly and are well tolerated, allowing better symptom control while reducing the risks associated with conventional treatments.
To properly evaluate these new treatments, it is essential to understand patients' perspectives on their effectiveness. The scales used by physicians do not always capture all the symptom
