Why Should We Participate?
Participation in this study may provide useful information on pediatric generalized myasthenia gravis by helping researchers understand how the study drug behaves in the body and if it can be a safe and effective option.
Your child’s participation in this study may help researchers learn more about pediatric gMG.
What is the Purpose of this Study? 
The purpose of this clinical research study is to find out whether the investigational drug may help symptoms of pediatric generalized myasthenia gravis.
What Should We Expect?
01
Submit Online Questionnaire
This questionnaire will ask for a legal guardian’s contact information and a few questions about your child's medical history to determine their eligibility. Then, select a time for a short phone call with PatientWing. Submitting the questionnaire is voluntary and does not require a commitment to participate in the study.
02
Speak With PatientWing
PatientWing is helping to identify potential families who may be interested in this pediatric gMG study. You will have a short call with PatientWing to answer additional questions about your child’s medical history.
03
Speak With a Research Site
After your conversation with PatientWing, you and your child speak with the study team who will explain the next steps, answer questions, and review their relevant medical records. If the research team thinks your child or loved one may be eligible to participate, they will schedule a screening visit (the first official visit of the study to determine whether your child is a good fit to join).
04
Study Participation
If your child qualifies and you choose to join, you should expect the following:
Your child will receive the study drug 3 times during the treatment period.
You and your child or loved one will visit the study site approximately 13 times during the treatment period and 2 times during the follow up period. The study will last about 83 weeks (1.5 years) including the treatment period (52 weeks) and safety follow-up period (2 visits over 6 months).
We understand 16 visits over 18 months is a commitment. The study team works with families to schedule visits around school and activities whenever possible.

about Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG)
Pediatric generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) is a rare autoimmune condition that affects how the nerves and muscles communicate. In children and teens, gMG can cause muscle weakness and fatigue that changes throughout the day and may impact daily activities like speaking, eating, or playing. 
Common Symptoms in Children and Teens with gMG:
Symptoms may come and go. They can get worse with activity and improve with rest. Every child’s experience is different. Clinical studies play an important role in understanding gMG and developing new medications. 
Drooping eyelids
Shortness of breath or trouble breathing 
Difficulty speaking, chewing, or swallowing
Weakness in the arms or legs 
Double vision or trouble moving the eyes 
Feeling tired, especially later in the day
