The aim of the trial is to provide patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), who are ineligible to participate in a clinical trial, access to efgartigimod treatment before regulatory approval. There are country-specific protocols and also individual use EAP. Recruitment for the treatment protocol in US is now closed (ARGX-113-EAP-2101).
