Zilucoplan for children with generalized myasthenia gravis
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
