This session will cover rozanolixizumab-noli, a subcutaneous infusion that blocks neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), in the management of anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) or anti-muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibody positive (Ab+) generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in adults. Within the evolving gMG treatment landscape, understanding its clinical application is key to supporting shared decision-making that aligns with patients’ unique needs and preferences. Learners will explore best practices for administration and review recent data from the Phase 3 MycarinG and extension studies. In this session, we will apply clinical insights to a patient case and explore practical strategies for incorporating rozanolixizumab-noli into treatment plans for adults with anti-AChR or anti-MuSK Ab+ gMG.

As health-care professionals, we are entrusted with making sure that every compounded sterile preparation (CSP) is accurate and carries the lowest possible risk of contamination. It is preferred that CSPs are prepared in a pharmacy’s ISO-5 compounding suite. However, there are occasions when patient needs require us to prepare medications outside of those controlled settings. This course will take an in-depth look at the minimum requirements as well as the best practices for maintaining patient safety when sterile drugs are mixed in environments outside of a cleanroom.
