Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are people aged 12–80 with MGFA Type I ocular myasthenia gravis, body weight ≥30 kg, an MGII (PRO) ocular score of ≥6, and who are on a stable standard-of-care regimen.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with generalized myasthenia gravis, thymoma, active or chronic infections, uncontrolled diabetes, positive HIV or syphilis serology, other autoimmune disease requiring systemic corticosteroids, recent non-stable immunosuppressant use, or those unable to be on a stable SOC regimen are unlikely to qualify or benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolling about 120 participants who will be randomized 1:1 to telitacicept or matching placebo with dosing based on age and body weight. Randomization is stratified by acetylcholine receptor antibody status and by age (<18 vs ≥18). The primary endpoint is change from baseline in the patient-reported MGII ocular score at Week 24, with additional ocular and total MG outcome measures and safety assessments as secondary endpoints. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting, labs, vital signs, physical exams, and oversight by an independent Data Monitoring Committee.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, telitacicept could reduce ocular symptoms and improve daily functioning for people with ocular myasthenia gravis, potentially lowering the need for additional immunosuppressive therapies.
How similar studies have gone: Other B-cell–targeting biologic therapies have shown benefit in myasthenia gravis and related autoimmune conditions, but telitacicept's effect specifically in ocular-only MG has not been proven in prior late-phase trials.

Diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis (MG) with documented clinical features consistent with the disease. 5. Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) Clinical Classification of Type I. 6. On a stable standard-of-care (SOC) treatment regimen. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Concomitant autoimmune diseases requiring systemic corticosteroid therapy. 2. Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities. 3. Use of other immunosuppressants (not part of the stable SOC) within 1 month prior to randomization. 4. Presence of an acute or chronic infection requiring treatment. 5. Current active hepatitis or history of severe liver disease. 6. Positive for HIV antibodies. 7. Positive for syphilis antibodies (non-specific or specific). 8. Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, defined as HbA1c \>9.0% or fasting blood glucose ≥11.1 mmol/L. 9. Subjects with thymoma (classified as ≤ Stage II for benign and ≥ Stage III for malignant according to the Masaoka staging system) . 10. Presence of uncontrolled chronic degenerative diseases, psychiatric disorders, or neurological diseases other than MG that could interfere with study assessments. 11. Other diseases causing ptosis, peripheral muscle weakness, or diplopia (e.g., Graves' ophthalmopathy, blepharospasm, progressive external ophthalmoplegia, muscular dystrophy, brainstem or cranial nerve lesions, etc.). 12. Known allergy to human-derived biological products.
