Vor Biopharma
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of telitacicept in the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis.
Description
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease in which autoantibodies disrupt the postsynaptic membrane, impairing nerve-to-muscle signal transmission. The predominant manifestation is muscle weakness, which typically worsens with repeated muscle exertion, such that function is usually the best in the morning with more pronounced weakness at the end of the day. A major challenge in MG is the lack of therapies that effectively treat the disease. Telitacicept is a fully human TACI-Fc fusion protein that targets B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) and A proliferating-inducing ligand (APRIL), neutra…
