P.044 Efficacy, safety, and tolerability of efgartigimod in AChR-Ab– patients with Generalized Myasthenia Gravis: interim analysis of ADAPT/ADAPT+

چکیده
Background: Efgartigimod, a human IgG1 antibody Fc-fragment, reduces IgG levels through neonatal Fc receptor blockade. Patients with anti-acetylcholine antibody–negative (AChR-Ab–) generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) comprise 15%-20% of the gMG population and have limited approved treatment options. We evaluated long-term safety efficacy efgartigimod in AChR-Ab– patients from ADAPT/ADAPT+ (open-label extension). Methods: ADAPT versus placebo AChR-Ab+ (n=129) Ab– (n=38) gMG. This integrated analysis includes 37 who received ≥1 dose October 2020 (median[range] follow-up: 453[85-721] days). Responder status was defined as ≥2-point (MG-ADL) ≥3-point (QMG) improvement for ≥4 consecutive weeks (with first 1 week after last infusion). Results: Among (cycle 1), 68.4% (13/19) efgartigimod-treated were MG-ADL responders (placebo, 63.2% [12/19]), 52.6% (10/19) QMG 36.8% [7/19]). In improved baseline MG-ADL/QMG scores, consistent improvements across multiple subsequent cycles. No clinically meaningful differences or outcomes between occurred. Conclusions: Long-term (median >1 year) well tolerated associated scores patients.

متن کاملSafety and Efficacy of Electroconvulsive Therapy in Myasthenia Gravis
Myasthenia Gravis is autoimmune disorder of neuromuscular transmission. In some cases, psychiatric complications aggravate its course. Myasthenia gravis (MG) has always been a challenge for anesthesiologists and psychiatrists when the use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is required, especially when succinylcholine is used together with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. We describe a 76 years ...
متن کاملDifferential Cytokine Changes in Patients with Myasthenia Gravis with Antibodies against AChR and MuSK
Neuromuscular transmission failure in myasthenia gravis (MG) is most commonly elicited by autoantibodies (ab) to the acetylcholine receptor or the muscle-specific kinase, constituting AChR-MG and MuSK-MG. It is controversial whether these MG subtypes arise through different T helper (Th) 1, Th2 or Th17 polarized immune reactions and how these reactions are blunted by immunosuppression. To addre...
