IMAAVY® Infusion Therapy

About IMAAVY® Infusion Therapy

IMAAVY® works by targeting and blocking a protein called the neonatal Fc receptor to reduce the level of harmful IgG antibodies in the bloodstream. In myasthenia gravis, the immune system mistakenly produces harmful immoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies such as anti-AChR or ant-MuSK antibodies, that attack the neuromuscular junction where nerves and muscles communicate. This interference leads to the muscle weakness and fatigue characteristic of gMG

Condition treated by this therapy

IMAAVY® is indicated for the treatment of:

• Generalized Myasthenia Gravis - In adults and pediatric patients 12+ who are anti-AChR or anti-MuSK antibody positive
