ABOUT THE TRIAL

Clinical Trial for Individuals Living with Myasthenia Gravis (MG)

We are inviting individuals diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) to take part in a clinical research study. MG is a rare, chronic autoimmune neuromuscular condition that leads to varying degrees of muscle weakness, which can affect daily functioning.

This clinical trial aims to evaluate an investigational study drug to better understand its safety, potential effects, and optimal dosing in individuals with MG. If you or someone you care for is living with generalized myasthenia gravis and still facing muscle weakness, fatigue, or daily struggles, you’re not alone. The AURORA clinical trial is here to help.
