Title: Community Collab™: Identifying the Role of Complement Inhibitors in the Management of Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Description: In generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), pathogenic antibodies activate the terminal complement cascade at the neuromuscular junction, leading to membrane attack complex–mediated damage of the postsynaptic membrane. Complement C5 inhibition directly blocks this mechanism, addressing a central driver of disease rather than providing broad immunosuppression. This educational program for neurologists provides a focused, clinically grounded update on the role of complement inhibition in the management of gMG. Emphasis is placed on the pathophysiologic rationale for targeting the terminal complement and how this strategy translates into meaningful clinical benefit for patients with refractory or severe symptoms. The program features experienced neuromuscular specialists who integrate pivotal clinical trial data with real-world insights drawn from years of treating patients with gMG. Faculty review efficacy and safety outcomes from key studies of complement inhibitors, discuss patient selection and timing of therapy, and address practical considerations such as onset of action, durability of response, and infection risk mitigation. Participants will gain a clear understanding of where complement inhibitors fit within the evolving gMG treatment landscape and how to apply evidence-based strategies to optimize outcomes in appropriate patients.

Target Audience: This educational activity is directed toward an audience of neurologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other HCPs involved in the management of gMG.
