To evaluate the effects of rituximab as treatment in MuSK antibody-positive myasthenia gravis.
Efficacy
We assess the clinical state of patients using a Myasthenia gravis foundation of America post-intervention status (MGFA-PIS), Quantitative MG score for Disease Severity (QMG score), and the amounts of waning of repetitive stimulation tests.
A patient is considered to have responded if they have attained an MGFA-PIS of improved, Minimal Manifestations, Pharmacologic Remission or Complete Stable Remission. The effectiveness evaluation is established by the response rate.
