Vyvgart®
Understanding Vyvgart®
Vyvgart® is used to treat generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in adults who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody positive. It works by reducing harmful IgG autoantibodies that interfere with nerve-muscle communicationin gMG. Vyvgart® achieves this by blocking the Neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), which normally helps maintain IgG levels in the blood. By lowering these damaging autoantibodies, Vyvgart® improves muscle strength and daily function, helping to prevent antibodies from disrupting nerve signals.
How Vyvgart® Works:
- Blocks FcRn, reducing harmful IgG autoantibodies
- Restores nerve-muscle communication, improving muscle strength
- Reduces symptoms and enhances daily function for individuals with gMG
FDA Approval:
- Vyvgart®: Approved on December 17, 2021, for anti-AChR antibody-positive generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG)
