Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with generalized MG (MGFA class II-IVa) who are AChR Ab positive and meet the specified functional scores.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with MG who do not respond to claseprubart or who do not meet the eligibility criteria may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a phase 3 interventional trial evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of claseprubart in adults with generalized MG. Participants undergo screening, a randomized blinded treatment period, and an optional extended treatment phase with open-label options, followed by a safety follow-up. The study compares claseprubart to placebo in a controlled setting, with additional extension periods for eligible participants to gather longer-term data. Eligibility includes confirmed gMG by antibody and functional criteria, MGFA class II-IVa, specific MG-ADL and QMG scores, vaccination status, and reproductive considerations. Locations include sites in Pasadena, CA; Boca Raton, FL; and Fayetteville, NC, led by Dianthus Therapeutics.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved muscle strength and daily function with a favorable safety profile.
How similar studies have gone: Prior trials of similar therapies in generalized MG have shown benefit in carefully selected patients; this study builds on that approach with a large phase 3 design.
