Summary:What is this summary about? Generalized myasthenia gravis (often shortened to gMG) is a rare health condition that causes muscular weakness. This summary gives an overview of three published articles that report the results of research studies of a medicine called ravulizumab, a treatment approved for adults with gMG.
