Treatment Advances in Targeting Underlying Pathophysiology of Myasthenia Gravis

Outcome Measures in Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Video content above is prompted by the following:

Can you talk about outcome measures in generalized myasthenia gravis and what you use in your practice?

Nicholas J. Silvestri, MD, FAAN; Ali A. Habib, MD; Neelam Goyal, MD; and Katherine Ruzhansky, MD, MS, explore the multifaceted aspects of generalized myasthenia gravis, from its clinical presentation and diagnosis to emerging targeted therapies, emphasizing the importance of personalized treatment approaches, discussing recent clinical trial data, and addressing ongoing challenges in both adult and pediatric populations.

Panelists discuss how myasthenia gravis presents clinically in adults and children, factors contributing to its underdiagnosis, and symptoms that should prompt specialist consultation.

Generalized Myasthenia Gravis Presentation and Diagnosis

Panelists discuss how the classification of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) informs and guides treatment strategies for patients.

Generalized Myasthenia Gravis Classification and Treatment Strategy

Panelists discuss how the current understanding of myasthenia gravis pathophysiology is informing the development of targeted treatments, alongside reviewing the standard of care for generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).

Pathophysiology and Standard of Care in Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Panelists discuss how various outcome measures are utilized in clinical practice to assess and monitor patients with generalized myasthenia gravis.

Panelists discuss how complement inhibitors work to treat generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), evaluating their efficacy and safety profiles based on FDA approvals and clinical experience.

Complement Inhibitors for Treatment of Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Panelists discuss how various approved and investigational FcRn-targeting agents differ in their mechanisms of action for treating generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).

Neonatal Fc Receptors in Treatment of Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Panelists discuss how specific disease characteristics and individual patient factors influence their decision-making process when selecting treatments for generalized myasthenia gravis.

Factors Guiding Treatment Selection in Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Panelists discuss how they approach combination therapy in generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), including patient selection and timing, while also examining how the availability of newer targeted treatments has influenced their approach to managing newly diagnosed patients.

Combination Therapy in Generalized Myasthenia Gravis and Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Patients

Panelists discuss how recent phase 3 trial results for nipocalimab and batoclimab, both neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) inhibitors, demonstrate efficacy and safety in different generalized myasthenia gravis patient populations, comparing these findings with earlier phase 2 data and evaluating their potential impact on treatment approaches.

Nipocalimab and FcRn Inhibitors in Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Panelists discuss how they approach and potentially adapt the dosing and administration regimens of approved and investigational FcRn inhibitors in their myasthenia gravis patients, considering the prescribed guidelines and individual patient needs.

Dosing Regimens and Treatment Efficacy of FcRn Inhibitors in Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Panelists discuss how they select patients for FcRn and complement inhibitor therapies, integrate these treatments into long-term management plans, monitor patients on these therapies, and approach treatment for those with inadequate disease control on traditional or targeted therapies for generalized myasthenia gravis.

Use of Targeted Agents in Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Panelists discuss how generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) presents unique diagnostic challenges in pediatric populations, review current standard-of-care management strategies for children and adolescents, and highlight promising investigational treatments for pediatric gMG.

Management of Generalized Myasthenia Gravis in Pediatric Patients

Panelists discuss how certain aspects of myasthenia gravis management remain challenging, identifying ongoing unmet needs in diagnosis, treatment, and patient care.

Unmet Needs in Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Panelists discuss how emerging agents for generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) show promise in addressing current treatment gaps, highlighting specific therapies they find particularly exciting for future management of the condition.

Generalized Myasthenia Gravis Pipeline

Panelists discuss how recent data presented at the 2024 American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) conference may impact clinical practice for myasthenia gravis, highlighting emerging treatments they find particularly promising for future management of the condition.

New Data from AANEM 2024 in Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Panelists discuss how a multidisciplinary approach involving various specialists is crucial in managing generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), offering final insights and recommendations for health care professionals treating gMG patients.

Clinical Pearls for Management of Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Peer Exchange

Outcome measures in generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) are crucial for assessing disease severity, treatment efficacy, and patient quality of life. Clinicians often utilize a combination of quantitative and qualitative tools to evaluate these parameters. Commonly used measures include the Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) score, Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) scale, and Myasthenia Gravis Composite (MGC) score. These tools help in tracking disease progression and response to therapy, guiding treatment decisions, and improving patient outcomes through personalized care strategies.

 Peer Exchange video series features panels of expert physicians engaging in in-depth discussions about practice-changing treatments, challenges in care, and the future paradigm of management for neurologic diseases.
