  • You have been diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) that affects only the eye muscles (causing drooping eyelids or double vision, but no other symptoms), and you have never received treatment for it
  • Your diagnosis is supported by at least one of the following: your symptoms responded clearly to a medication called pyridostigmine; a blood test showed certain MG-related antibodies; a nerve stimulation test showed a significant drop in muscle response; or a special muscle electrical test showed abnormal results
  • You are willing to provide samples (such as blood), undergo scans, and take part in other tests related to the study
  • If you are a woman who could become pregnant, you had a negative pregnancy test before the study and you and your partner agree to use effective contraception throughout the study

  • You are 18 years old or younger, or 75 years old or older
  • You are already taking steroid or immune-suppressing medications for another immune system condition

  • You have had a serious infection or cancer in the last month that means you cannot take immune-suppressing medications
  • You are not willing to undergo repeat nerve stimulation tests or chest CT scans
