A Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Telitacicept in the Treatment of Children Ocular Myasthenia Gravis
China30 participantsStarted 2026-03-10
Plain-language summary
Under conventional treatment regimens, pediatric ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) is prone to relapse and is associated with corticosteroid-related adverse effects, indicating an unmet clinical need. In May 2025, the targeted B-cell biologic agent Telitacicept was approved for use in adult patients with acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody-positive generalized myasthenia gravis (GMG) and subsequently initiated in national multicenter clinical trials for adult OMG. Our center published a retrospective study in the Chinese Journal of Evidence-Based Pediatrics in August 2025, which was the first report both domestically and internationally on the efficacy and safety of Telitacicept in four pediatric OMG patients. This study plans to conduct a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm clinical trial aimed at evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Telitacicept in pediatric OMG.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. Active infection under treatment: Patients who are HBsAg positive must be excluded. Patients who are HBsAg negative but HBcAb positive must undergo quantitative HBV-DNA testing. Patients with a positive quantitative HBV-DNA result must be excluded; those with a negative result may be enrolled.
. Severe hepatic or renal insufficiency.
. Patients with malignant tumors other than thymoma.
. Patients within 3 months post-thymectomy.
. Hypogammaglobulinemia (IgG \< 400 mg/dL) or IgA deficiency (IgA \< 10 mg/dL).
. History of allergy to human-derived biological products.
. Participation in any other clinical trial within 28 days prior to enrollment or within 5 times the half-life of the investigational drug from the previous trial (whichever is longer).
. Patients deemed unsuitable for participation by the investigator (e.g., patients with severe psychiatric disorders).
