Efficacy and Safety of Efgartigimod in the Treatment of Guillain-Barré Syndrome(GREAT)
Sponsor: Beijing Tiantan Hospital
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Efgartigimod in patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). The main questions it aims to answer are: Is Efgartigimod a safe treatment option for GBS patients? Does treatment with Efgartigimod improve patient outcomes? Participants will: Take drug Efgartigimod or Intravenous Immunoglobulin during hospitalization Undergo six blood draws in six follow-up study visits to evaluate the concentration of IgG Keep a diary of their symptoms and drugs using at the same time

Interventions
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)
IVIg is the standard-of-care treatment for GBS. The same brand of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) was administered across different study sites
Efgartigimod Alfa-Fcab
Efgartigimod is an anti-neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) immunoglobulin G1 Fc fragment. The FcRn plans a critical role in extending the half-life of IgGs by rescuing them from lysosomal degradation. Antibodies that bind and subsequently block the FcRn with high affinity result in IgGs being degraded more rapidly instead of salvaged. This approach has been shown to be beneficial in the antibody-mediated disorder myasthenia gravis.
