Myasthenia Gravis clinical trials at UCSF
4 in progress, 2 open to eligible people
Myasthenia gravis is a disease that weakens muscles. UCSF is testing nipocalimab to see its effects on children with this condition. UCSF is also studying ravulizumab to learn about its safety and how well it works in children.
Nipocalimab in Children Aged 2 to Less Than 18 Years With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis
open to eligible people ages 2-17
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of nipocalimab on total serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) in pediatric participants 2 to less than (<) 18 years of age (globally) and 8 to <18 years of age (for Unites Stated (US) sites only), the safety and tolerability of treatment with nipocalimab in children and adolescents and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of nipocalimab in children and adolescents with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) who have an insufficient clinical response to ongoing, stable standard-of-care therapy.

Pharmacodynamics, Efficacy, Safety, and Immunogenicity of Ravulizumab Administered Intravenously in Pediatric Participants With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG)
open to all eligible people
The primary purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of treatment with ravulizumab intravenous infusion in pediatric participants with gMG.

Subcutaneous Zilucoplan in Participants With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis Who Were Previously Receiving Intravenous Complement Component 5 Inhibitors
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of switching from intravenous (IV) complement component 5 (C5) inhibitors to subcutaneous (SC) Zilucoplan in study participants with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG)

Batoclimab as Induction and Maintenance Therapy in Adult Participants With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The purpose of this 4-period study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of batoclimab in participants with gMG. In Period 1, participants will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive batoclimab 680 milligrams (mg) subcutaneously (SC) once a week (QW) or 340 mg SC QW or placebo. The primary efficacy endpoint will be assessed by change in the myasthenia gravis activities of daily living (MG- ADL) score in acetylcholine receptor antibody seropositive (AChRAb+) participants. In Period 2, participants previously treated with batoclimab will be re-randomized to stay on batoclimab (340 mg SC QW or 340 mg SC every two weeks) or receive placebo treatment. The secondary endpoint of maintenance of efficacy will be assessed by change in the MG- ADL score in AChRAb+ participants. Participants demonstrating a response to batoclimab during either Period 1 or 2 may enter the long-term extension (Period 3). Participants who complete Period 3 are eligible to participate in Period 4 (Optional Long-Term extension) according to their treatment assignment in Period 3.
