KYSA-6: A Study of Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy, in Patients With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Recruiting

ClinicalTriails.gov ID: NCT06193889

Sponsor: Kyverna Therapeutics

A Study of the Anti-CD 19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy for Patients with Myasthenia Gravis.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the neuromuscular junction and is characterized by muscle weakness. B cells play a role in MG, and the disease is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies such as anti-AChR and anti-MuSK antibodies. CD-19 target chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells harness the ability of cytotoxic T cells to directly and specifically lyse target cells to effectively deplete both normal and autoreactive B cells in the circulation as well as impacted lymphoid and potentially non-lymphoid tissues. KYV-101, a fully human anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, will be investigated in adult subjects with myasthenia gravis (MG).

KYSA-6: A Phase 2/3, Open-Label, Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Study of KYV-101, an Autologous Fully Human Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CD19 CAR T) Therapy, Versus Ongoing Standard-Of-Care Immunosuppressive Therapy in Patients With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Light vs. Moderate Intensity Exercise in Individuals With Myasthenia Gravis (MG-Ex)

Recruiting

ClinicalTriails.gov ID: NCT06491238

Sponsor: HealthPartners Institute

The overall purpose of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and tolerability of light and moderate intensity exercise in adults with MGeffect of light vs. moderate intensity exercise on health outcomes. Participants will be enrolled into the NeuroWell exercise program, which is geared toward individuals with neurological disorders or injuries and led by Certified Exercise Physiologists (CEPs) at the HealthPartners Neuroscience Center. A total of 20 people with MG will be enrolled in this study and participate in a small group exercise program 3 times a week for 12 weeks. Participants will be randomized into two exercise groups: 1) Light intensity or 2) Moderate intensity. We hypothesize that light and moderate intensity exercise will be feasible, acceptable, and tolerable in adults with MG and that individuals in the light intensity exercise group will be able to achieve the same improvement in health outcomes as the moderate intensity group.

Treatment of Myasthenia Gravis Exacerbation or Crisis With Efgartigimod

Recruiting

ClinicalTriails.gov ID: NCT06860633

Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver

This study plans to learn more about if the drug efgartigimod can be used in the hospital to treat exacerbations in participants with myasthenia gravis (MG). Efgartigimod has been approved by the FDA for ongoing (chronic) treatment of generalized MG in adult patients who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody positive but has not been studied in the treatment of worsening weakness requiring hospital admission (known as "exacerbation"). This investigation aims to see if using efgartigimod in this way improves symptoms and recovery from exacerbation, and how it affects certain MG markers in the blood. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is efgartigimod effective as a hospital-administered acute therapy for participants with worsening MG (MG exacerbation) who require hospitalization?
  • Will efgartigimod lead to clinical improvement with a similar reduction in validated research scales, such as the Quantitative MG (QMG) scale, as standard of care therapies?

Participants will receive 4 doses of efgartigimod over the course of 4 weeks with an additional follow-up visit at the clinic.

Effects of Whole-body Electrical Muscle Stimulation Exercise on Adults With Neuromuscular Disease

Recruiting

ClinicalTriails.gov ID: NCT07478172

Sponsor: University of Missouri-Columbia

This single-arm pilot study evaluates the effects of whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (WB-EMS) exercise on neuromuscular and physical function in adults with neuromuscular disease (NMD). Due to motor unit impairments, NMD patients often cannot tolerate traditional exercise. WB-EMS bypasses voluntary activation limits by directly stimulating muscle contractions. Up to 50 adults with conditions like ALS, SMA, and MG will undergo 20-minute supervised WB-EMS sessions (1-2 times weekly for 4-8 weeks) using the Katalyst system. Outcomes include neural excitability (TMS), motor unit behavior (EMG, NCS), functional tests (walk, balance, strength), and patient-reported fatigue, pain, and quality of life. Strict safety monitoring and exclusion criteria are in place. This study will provide preliminary data on WB-EMS as a potential exercise modality for NMD.
