Overview

Patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) experience significant and heterogeneous symptomatology, placing a substantial burden on their quality of life including physical, emotional, and work/financial aspects. Recent clinical trial data are showing that the utilization of individualized dosing including holding treatment during periods of stability can be effective and safe. It is important for clinicians to assess these data and individualize their treatment plans. This activity will focus on advances to optimize clinical outcomes in patients with gMG.
