0790_CPMC_New Therapies for Myasthenia Gravis_Live
Description:
The treatment options for myasthenia gravis patients have grown considerably over the past two years, with the FDA approving several innovative therapies that work through different mechanisms to reduce disease-causing antibodies and inflammation. Currently, multiple promising treatments are being studied in late-stage clinical trials, showing encouraging results and offering hope for even more personalized care approaches. This session will explore how these new therapies are changing the way we treat MG, giving clinicians more tools to tailor treatment to each patient's unique needs.
