Generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) is a rare, chronic autoimmune disorder that is highly variable in clinical presentation and treatment response. Traditionally used treatments for gMG are broadly immunosuppressive, do not target pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies, and provide insufficient symptom relief with significant side effects. Fortunately, advances in the understanding of gMG pathogenesis are leading to the development of new treatment options, including neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) modulators such as the recently approved efgartigimod, and rozanolixizumab, which recently completed phase 3 trials. As with all new and emerging therapeutics, it is important for clinicians to remain abreast of the latest data. At a recent live event, a multidisciplinary panel of experts compared the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of new treatment options with traditional t
