Nipocalimab in Children Aged 2 to Less Than 18 Years With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis
open to eligible people ages 2-17
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of nipocalimab on total serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) in pediatric participants 2 to less than (<) 18 years of age (globally) and 8 to <18 years of age (for Unites Stated (US) sites only), the safety and tolerability of treatment with nipocalimab in children and adolescents and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of nipocalimab in children and adolescents with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) who have an insufficient clinical response to ongoing, stable standard-of-care therapy.

Test How Safe Pozelimab and Cemdisiran Combination Therapy and Cemdisiran Alone Are and How Well They Work in Adult Patients With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
This study is researching an experimental combination treatment with pozelimab and cemdisiran, and cemdisiran monotherapy. The study is focused on patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). Myasthenia gravis is a disease that causes weakness and fatigue in muscles in the body because the nerves and muscles are not communicating properly. The aim of the study is to see how effective pozelimab and cemdisiran are when used in combination and when pozelimab and cemdisiran are used alone for patients with gMG. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: - What side effects may happen from taking the study drugs - How the study drugs work inside the body - How much study drugs are in the blood at different times - Whether the body makes antibodies against pozelimab and cemdisiran (which could make the drugs less effective or could lead to side effects)

Various Dosing Regimens of MuSK-CAART for MuSK Myasthenia Gravis
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
Muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare but potentially severe disease, in which patients develop pathogenic autoantibodies that specifically target the MuSK protein in the neuromuscular junction. This phase 1 study is being conducted to evaluate the safety of various dosing regimens of an investigational cell therapy, MuSK-CAART, that can be given to patients with anti-MuSK antibody positive Myasthenia Gravis (MuSK MG), who have active disease. Various dosing regimens of MuSK-CAART alone, in combination with cyclophosphamide (CY), and in combination with CY and fludarabine (FLU) will be evaluated. Treatment with MuSK-CAART may potentially lead to complete and durable remission of disease.

Pharmacodynamics Of Satralizumab In Patients With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Batoclimab as Induction and Maintenance Therapy in Adult Participants With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The purpose of this 4-period study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of batoclimab in participants with gMG. In Period 1, participants will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive batoclimab 680 milligrams (mg) subcutaneously (SC) once a week (QW) or 340 mg SC QW or placebo. The primary efficacy endpoint will be assessed by change in the myasthenia gravis activities of daily living (MG- ADL) score in acetylcholine receptor antibody seropositive (AChRAb+) participants. In Period 2, participants previously treated with batoclimab will be re-randomized to stay on batoclimab (340 mg SC QW or 340 mg SC every two weeks) or receive placebo treatment. The secondary endpoint of maintenance of efficacy will be assessed by change in the MG- ADL score in AChRAb+ participants. Participants demonstrating a response to batoclimab during either Period 1 or 2 may enter the long-term extension (Period 3). Participants who complete Period 3 are eligible to participate in Period 4 (Optional Long-Term extension) according to their treatment assignment in Period 3.

Serum Auto-Antibodies in Neurological Diseases
“Do you have multiple sclerosis or another autoimmune disease? We are studying specific antibodies that may have an impact on your health.”
Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only
Under normal conditions our immune system protects us against infections and tumors. The immune system does this by recognizing that the infecting organism or the tumor is foreign to the body and attacking it. One way the immune system attacks a foreign target is by making proteins called antibodies that bind to the target. Sometimes, for reasons we poorly understand, the immune system wrongly identifies part of our own body as being foreign and attacks it. This can result in disease such as some forms of diabetes and thyroid disease, as well as some neurological diseases. In this study, one tablespoon of blood will be removed from each subject and tested to see if the immune system is making antibodies against components of the nerves and muscles. We also hope to learn if these antibodies contribute to the development or worsening of illnesses of the nervous system. Only one blood draw is required, but subjects may be asked to give up to 8 additional blood samples to see if the level of antibodies changes over time. Any additional blood draws would be performed at regularly scheduled clinic visits. There would be at least 3 months between blood draws over a period of up to 3 years, if requested by the physician. Depending on your diagnosis, the physician may also request the collection of mouth (buccal) cells. This takes about one minute and is painless. The cells are collected by swishing a swab around your mouth. This cheek swab would be done with each blood draw. Please note that this study is conducted ONLY at UC Davis and that all participants must be seen in our clinic located in Sacramento, CA. Results of the testing performed in this study are not given to the participants. This study is not intended to treat or diagnose any condition.
