A recent study explored the effectiveness of efgartigimod in managing symptoms of generalized myasthenia gravis. This condition affects muscle strength and function, and efgartigimod is administered intravenously to reduce symptoms. The study aimed to evaluate different dosing schedules to optimize benefits for patients.

The focus on symptom management highlights ongoing efforts to improve treatments for generalized myasthenia gravis. By tailoring treatments to individual needs, researchers hope to enhance outcomes for those affected. This approach aligns with broader strategies to personalize treatments, as noted in the work by (Habib, 2025).
