Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18–80 years with generalized MG (MGFA IIa–IVb), positive AChR or MuSK antibodies, MG-ADL ≥6, and poor response to standard therapies are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with only ocular MG, those whose disease is controlled by current therapies, or those with active untreated hepatitis B/C or significant organ dysfunction (per exclusion criteria) are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies
This is an open-label, single-arm interventional protocol that gives HN2302 injections to adults with antibody-positive generalized refractory myasthenia gravis. After up to a 4-week screening period, eligible participants enter a treatment period followed by a one-year safety and outcome follow-up. Key eligibility requires AChR or MuSK antibody positivity, MGFA class IIa–IVb, and an MG-ADL score ≥6 with inadequate response to standard therapies. The trial focuses on safety, tolerability, and preliminary signals of clinical benefit using standard MG outcome measures.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, HN2302 could provide a new treatment option that improves muscle strength and reduces relapses for patients with refractory MG.
How similar studies have gone: Other targeted biologic agents such as complement inhibitors and FcRn antagonists have shown benefit in refractory MG, but HN2302 itself appears to be a novel investigational agent with limited prior human data available.
