It is associated with the production of autoantibodies, primarily targeting acetylcholine receptors (AchR), and is often complicated by myasthenic crisis, which can lead to severe respiratory failure. Current treatments primarily involve non-specific immunosuppression, which may not provide rapid relief.\n\nAim This study investigates the therapeutic impact of efgartigimod, an FcRn-targeting Fc fragment, on patients experiencing a myasthenic crisis. We hypothesize that efgartigimod is non-inferior to conventional treatments like intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and plasma exchange (PLEX) in terms of clinical efficacy and safety.\n\nStudy Rationale Efgartigimod aims to reduce pathogenic IgG autoantibodies implicated in MG by accelerating their degradation. This targeted approach could provide faster symptom relief during acute exacerbations compared to existing therapies.\n\nObjectives Primary Objective: To assess the non-inferiority of efgartigimod compared to PLEX and IVIG based on MG-ADL improvements.\n\nSecondary Objectives: Evaluate safety, tolerability, length of hospital stay, respiratory parameters, need for additional therapies, and one-year outcomes.\n\nPrimary Endpoint MG-ADL Improvement: Defined as a ≥3-point improvement post-treatment. The comparison will be made using one-month post-treatment assessments, with follow-ups every three months.\n\nSecondary Endpoints Safety and tolerability Length of hospital stay Changes in respiratory function Need for rescue therapy in case of clinical deterioration Sample Size The study will recruit 32 patients (16 historical group and 16 interventional group), calculated to detect significant differences in MG-ADL improvements with a significance level of 0.05 and power of 0.80.\n\nPatient Recruitment Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of MG who present to the neurology department will be recruited and randomly assigned to either the efgartigimod treatment group or the historical control group receiving standard care (IVIG\u002FPLEX).\n\nInclusion Criteria Adults \\> 18 years Confirmed MG diagnosis with generalized weakness (MGFA class II-V) Positive AchR or MuSK antibodies Evidence of myasthenic crisis Informed consent Exclusion Criteria Contraindications to efgartigimod Significant comorbidities affecting study participation Prior exposure to efgartigimod Ongoing infections or conditions exacerbating MG symptoms Recent major surgery or significant renal\u002Fhepatic dysfunction Planned Protocol Administer efgartigimod intravenously at 10 mg\u002Fkg weekly for four weeks.
