Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a type of chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease which causes weakness in skeletal muscles in the arms and legs. Double vision, facial paralysis, difficulty in walking, dropping of eyelids, are symptoms of myasthenia gravis. This disease is diagnosed by tests such as repetitive nerve stimulation test, blood test for antibodies, edrophonium test, Computed Tomography (CT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Corticosteroids drugs (azathioprine, and cyclosporine) and Acetylcholine esterase inhibitors (Edrophonium, and Pyridostigmine) are used for the treatment of MG.

Myasthenia Gravis Treatment Market - Drivers
Consistent research and development activities are expected to propel growth of the myasthenia gravis treatment market. For instance, in October 2017, Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for Soliris which contains eculizumab as an active component. This drug is used for treatment of antibody positive generalized myasthenia gravis, and it is also used in treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS).
Increasing number of clinical trials for treatment of myasthenia gravis are expected to drive the myasthenia gravis treatment market growth. For instance, in December 2017, Novartis AG initiated phase II clinical trial of CFZ533 for treatment of severe myasthenia gravis. The main function of CFZ533 is the modification of immune response by deactivation of white blood cells. Hence, it is expected to help with improvement and management of severe myasthenia gravis.
