B Cells as a Treatment Target in Myasthenia Gravis
Ali Habib, MD, and Arjun Seth, MD, discuss how B-cell–targeted therapies represent a promising upstream treatment approach for myasthenia gravis that could provide more sustained efficacy compared with current downstream treatments like complement inhibitors and FcRn antagonists, with CD19-targeting agents like inebilizumab showing particular promise in clinical trials for both acetylcholine receptor and MuSK antibody subtypes.
