Recruiting studies in Illinois
- NCT06359041RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CABA-201 cell therapy for generalized myasthenia gravis
This trial tests a new cell therapy called CABA-201 for people with generalized myasthenia gravis. It aims to reset the immune system to reduce muscle weakness and improve daily functioning.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT06909214RecruitingPhase 4
Study of efgartigimod for new-onset generalized myasthenia gravis
This study tests a new treatment called efgartigimod for people who have been recently diagnosed with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). It aims to see if this medicine can help manage symptoms like muscle weakness.
O'Fallon, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07596901RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing Aritinercept for Generalized Myasthenia Gravis
This study tests a new drug called aritinercept to see if it can help people with generalized myasthenia gravis (a condition where muscles weaken over time). Researchers believe this drug may reduce the immune system activity that causes muscle weakness.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - NCT07501702RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Povetacicept for Generalized Myasthenia Gravis
This trial tests a new medicine called povetacicept for people with generalized myasthenia gravis. The goal is to see if it can help improve muscle weakness and symptoms.
O'Fallon, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT07217587RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drugs for generalized myasthenia gravis
This trial tests whether nipocalimab works better than efgartigimod for people with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). If you have gMG with certain antibodies and current treatments aren't working well enough, this study may help find a better option.
O'Fallon, IllinoisAges 18–74 - NCT07039916RecruitingPhase 3
Study of IMVT-1402 for mild to severe generalized myasthenia gravis
This trial tests an investigational drug called IMVT-1402 to see if it improves symptoms in people with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). If you have mild to severe gMG and are looking for new treatment options, this study may be a fit.
Schaumburg, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT06744920RecruitingPhase 3
New drug for generalized myasthenia gravis
This trial tests a new medication (remibrutinib) versus a placebo to see if it helps adults with generalized myasthenia gravis. You may qualify if your symptoms affect multiple parts of your body and you haven't had certain recent treatments.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - NCT04833894RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Efgartigimod for children with generalized myasthenia gravis
This trial studies how efgartigimod (given through a vein) behaves in children and whether it is safe and effective for generalized myasthenia gravis. It is designed for children who have not done well enough with standard treatments like steroids or other immune medicines.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 2–18 - NCT06055959RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Zilucoplan for children with generalized myasthenia gravis
This study tests a new daily shot (zilucoplan) for children and teens with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), a condition that causes muscle weakness. It aims to see if the drug is safe and helps improve strength and daily functioning.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 12–17 - NCT06456580RecruitingPhase 3
Telitacicept for generalized myasthenia gravis
This trial tests a new medication called Telitacicept for people with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). The goal is to see if it can reduce muscle weakness and improve daily function. You may be able to join if you have moderate to severe symptoms and have not had recent thymoma or other serious health issues.
O'Fallon, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07221838RecruitingPhase 4
Steroid Tapering Study for Myasthenia Gravis on Ravulizumab
This study is for people with generalized myasthenia gravis who are already on ravulizumab and a daily steroid. It aims to see if the steroid dose can be safely lowered over time.
Schaumburg, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05374590Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Long-term safety study of efgartigimod for young myasthenia gravis patients
This trial checks the long-term safety of efgartigimod given through an IV and as a quick under-the-skin injection in children with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). It may help your care team understand how safely this treatment can be used over time for kids who already took related study treatments.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 2–18 - NCT06799247RecruitingPhase 3
Investigating Descartes-08 for myasthenia gravis
This trial tests an experimental therapy called Descartes-08, made from your own immune cells, to see if it can improve muscle weakness in people with generalized myasthenia gravis. The therapy is designed to target and reduce harmful antibodies that cause the condition.

What taking part in a generalized myasthenia gravis study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

- Are there generalized myasthenia gravis clinical trials in Illinois?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 13 recruiting generalized myasthenia gravis studies with a site in Illinois, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a generalized myasthenia gravis study in Illinois?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Illinois to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Illinois, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a generalized myasthenia gravis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
