OVERVIEW

FcRn Antagonists: Transformative Potential in Treating Generalized Myasthenia Gravis is organized by Prime Education, LLC and will be held from Aug 29, 2024 - Aug 28, 2025.

Release Date: August 29, 2024
Expiration Date: August 28, 2025

Description:
Patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), a rare and chronic autoimmune disease, experience severe fatigue and muscle weakness that negatively impact their daily lives. Greater understanding of the complex pathophysiology of gMG has led to a rapidly evolving treatment landscape, including targeted therapies providing a more individualized and effective approach. Neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) antagonists are the latest class of medications to receive approval for gMG, and several recent phase 3 trials are likely to result in a greater selection of available FcRn-targeting therapies.
In this first of two videos, join two experts in a discussion covering the pathophysiology of gMG, current treatment modalities and management strategies, and an in-depth look at the role of FcRn antagonism, including evaluation of the latest clinical evidence for approved and emerging FcRn antagonists.
You will also gain immediate access to downloadable evidence and a concise, point-of-care resource to reference in your daily practice.
This activity is delivered in partnership with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).

Learining Objectives:

  • Describe the immune-mediated pathophysiology of gMG
  • Summarize the roles and limitations of surgical interventions and maintenance therapies in gMG, considering administration, onset of action, toxicities, and patient-level factors
  • Evaluate recent clinical and real-world evidence on novel and emerging FcRn antagonists for gMG, including evidence related to special patient populations
