This is a research study for pediatric patients previously been diagnosed with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) which is a condition that causes abnormalities of your immune system which may lead to generalized muscle weakness. This study looks at an investigational drug called ravulizumab (referred to as "study drug") to treat gMG by blocking complement activity that fights against infections. Although ravulizumab is approved to treat gMG in adults, in this study, ravulizumab is considered an experimental drug, which means it is not approved for use in treating children with gMG in any country at this time.

The purpose of this study is to determine if an extensively broken-down milk protein formula is safe for children with cow's milk protein allergy.
Preventing walking disability in our rapidly aging population is an enormous public health challenge. Fundamental to their loss of functional mobility is that the muscles needed to power walking experience disproportionate declines in function with age. Wearable assistive devices can be designed to augment the function of these muscles and may make walking easier. If you are a healthy young adult, you may be eligible to participate in a study to help guide the development of more effective exoskeleton designs!
