  • ||||||||||  Journal, Benefit-risk assessment:  Risk-Benefit Analysis of Novel Treatments for Patients with Generalized Myasthenia Gravis. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 13, 2024   
    FcRn inhibitors and complement inhibitors assessed in this study all demonstrated clinical benefit in terms of NNT as well as an acceptable safety profile in terms of NNH. Within the limitations of this meta-analysis, efgartigimod was associated with a favorable benefit-risk profile as well as a better economic value compared to ravulizumab, rozanolixizumab, and zilucoplan as treatments for anti-AChR Ab+
  • ||||||||||  Review, Journal:  Targeted Treatments for Myasthenia Gravis in Children and Adolescents. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 28, 2024   
    Recently, there have been several RCTs focussing on novel therapeutic strategies with potentially promising outcomes, suggesting a change in MG management over the coming years and access to more effective and faster-acting drugs for MG patients. This paper will review current and new MG treatments including efgartigimod, eculizumab, rozanolixizumab, ravulizumab, and zilucoplan, with a focus on juvenile myasthenia gravis.

    Journal:  Efgartigimod as Rescue Medication in a Patient with Therapy-Refractory Myasthenic Crisis. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 28, 2024   
    They mainly consist of complement C5 inhibitors such as eculizumab and ravulizumab and neonatal Fc receptor antagonists such as efgartigimod with the approval of more options pending, e.g., zilucoplan and rozanolixizumab...He was diagnosed with myasthenic crisis and treated with intravenous pyridostigmine, plasmapheresis (PLEX), and continued prednisone...The patient continued to improve and was stable enough for transfer to a rehabilitation facility. This case illustrates the potential of efgartigimod as a novel treatment for refractory myasthenic crises.

  • ||||||||||  Empaveli (pegcetacoplan SC) / Apellis, SOBI
    Review, Journal:  Complement inhibition in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria: From biology to therapy. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 16, 2024   
    Upstream inhibition of complement cascade was also explored with the anti-C3 pegcetacoplan, and with the alternative pathway inhibitors iptacopan (anti-factor B) and danicopan (anti-factor D)...Additionally, both anti-C5 and upstream inhibitors do not resolve the unmet need of pharmacodynamic BTH events due to complement amplifying conditions such as infections, traumas, and surgery. In this review, we will recapitulate PNH physiopathology, clinical presentation, and diagnosis and describe available and developing drugs that will lead to a precision medicine approach for this rare though heterogenous disease.

  • ||||||||||  Evidence Gap Analysis of the Burden of Illness and Treatment of Myasthenia Gravis () -  Mar 8, 2024 - Abstract #ISPOR2024ISPOR_2036;    
    Besides traditional non-specific immunosuppressive agents, recently available biologics (e.g., eculizumab, ravulizumab, efgartigimod, rozanolixizumab, zilucoplan) are increasingly used in MG to target specific components of the immune pathway. We identified several gaps in the literature, including the need for comprehensive studies to advance our understanding of the epidemiology, humanistic and economic burden, as well as the evolving treatment pathways in MG.

    Journal:  Rozanolixizumab (Rystiggo) for myasthenia gravis. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 2, 2024   
    Efficacy was sustained through to Week 96 in patients who had previously received zilucoplan and was demonstrated in those who switched from placebo. No abstract available

    Furthermore, Rett syndrome has found its first-ever core symptoms treatment, which is also peptide-based. Here, we analyze the TIDES approved in 2023 on the basis of their chemical structure, medical target, mode of action, administration route, and common adverse effects.
  • ||||||||||  Review, Journal:  Myasthenia Gravis Treatment: From Old Drugs to Innovative Therapies with a Glimpse into the Future. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 29, 2024   
    The aim of this review is to provide a detailed overview of the pre- and post-marketing evidence on the five pharmacological treatments most recently approved for the treatment of MG, by identifying both preclinical and clinical studies registered in clinicaltrials.gov. A description of the molecules currently under evaluation for the treatment of MG is also provided.
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  What Is in the Neuromuscular Junction Literature? (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 18, 2023   
    The notion of using fast-acting therapies early in the course of MG is addressed. The last sections center on MG and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome as a consequence of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

    Review, Journal:  Role of complement in myasthenia gravis. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 24, 2023   
    Complement therapies were initially studied and approved for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and in the past decade, those have also been studied in myasthenia gravis. The currently available randomized control trial and real-world data on the efficacy and safety of the approved and investigational complement therapies are summarized in this review.

    Compared to traditional immune modulatory therapies (steroids, non-steroidal immunosuppressive agents), these agents have more specific target engagement via inhibition of complement activation (eculizumab, ravulizumab, zilucoplan) or blockade of IgG recycling via the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn; efgartigimod, rozanolixizumab)...B-cell targeting with rituximab was safe and well-tolerated but with less impressive efficacy in two phase 2 studies...A paradigm shift is afoot. The challenge is figuring out where these therapies may fit in gMG treatment algorithms.
