Epidemiology, diagnostics, and biomarkers of autoimmune neuromuscular junction disorders

Anna Rostedt Punga et al.

Summary: Autoimmune neuromuscular junction disorders are rare, with myasthenia gravis being increasingly recognized in older individuals. Various diagnostic methods, such as serological antibody, electrophysiological, imaging, and pharmacological tests, are available for these disorders. Determining if the disease is paraneoplastic is important for prognosis. However, objective biomarkers are needed to predict the disease course of myasthenia gravis and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.

Real-World Healthcare Resource Utilization and Cost Burden Assessment for Adults With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis in the United States

Glenn Phillips et al.

Summary: This study investigated healthcare resource utilization and associated costs for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in the United States. The results showed that newly diagnosed patients had higher healthcare resource utilization and costs compared to previously diagnosed patients, and costs further increased for patients with exacerbation events. For patients who experienced crisis events, costs significantly increased during the 12 months before the event and further increased in the 12 months following the event. The high costs were largely attributed to the treatments received.

Safety, efficacy, and tolerability of efgartigimod in patients with generalised myasthenia gravis (ADAPT) : a multicentre, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial

James F. Jr Jr Howard et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the safety and efficacy of efgartigimod in patients with generalised myasthenia gravis, showing that it was well tolerated and efficacious. The unique feature of individualized dosing based on clinical response in the study will provide further insights into clinical practice with longer term data from the ongoing open-label extension.

NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASE Getting specific: targeting Fc receptors in myasthenia gravis

Jan D. Lunemann

Summary: A randomized, placebo-controlled trial found efgartigimod to be an effective therapy for generalized myasthenia gravis. If the pending FDA application is approved, it will be the first recombinant antibody-based therapy for selective IgG depletion, expanding the treatment options for myasthenia gravis.

Myasthenia Gravis in Poland: National Healthcare Database Epidemiological Study

Ewa Sobieszczuk et al.

Summary: The study conducted in Poland for the first time looked into the epidemiology of Myasthenia gravis (MG) using data from the National Health Fund (NFZ) database. Results showed that as of January 1, 2019, there were 8,702 MG patients receiving symptomatic treatment, with a female to male ratio of 1.65:1. The incidence of MG was 2.36 per 100,000, with different age groups showing variations in prevalence and onset of the disease. This information can be valuable for evaluating healthcare resources needed for MG patients.
