PROGRAM OVERVIEW
In the first of the two-podcast series exploring FcRn antagonists for generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), Dr. Pushpa Narayanaswami discusses the proposed mechanism of action of these novel therapies. Generalized myasthenia gravis is a lifelong autoimmune condition where conventional treatments often fail to provide sustained relief for many patients, highlighting the need for innovative therapeutic approaches. Dr. Narayanaswami explains how FcRn antagonists, a class of drugs designed to treat gMG, enhance the degradation of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, including the pathogenic autoantibodies driving the disorder.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This educational program is designed for neurologists, neuromuscular specialists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants involved in the care of patients with gMG.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon the completion of this program, attendees should be able to:
- Summarize the MoA and the potential for FcRn antagonists to address remaining therapeutic unmet needs for appropriate patients with gMG
