Patients with refractory or high-risk myasthenia gravis (MG) respond poorly to conventional immunosuppressive therapy, requiring rescue therapies and often experiencing treatment toxicity. The study discussed in this podcast suggests that lower doses of cyclophosphamide can be effective and safe in people with MG, including older age. JNNP's podcast editor, Saima Chaudhry, is joined by Professor Carolina Barnett-Tapia, University of Toronto, University Health Network, who authors the editorial comment 'Cyclophosphamide for myasthenia gravis: a comeback?'(https://jnnp.bmj.com/content/95/12/1095).
The original paper is also free to access: https://jnnp.bmj.com/content/95/12/1096.
