About this listen

 In this special international episode, we explore the 2025 update of the Association of British Neurologists’ guidelines on managing autoimmune myasthenia gravis. Ten years after the previous recommendations, significant changes have been introduced. We emphasise the importance of daily steroids, early thymectomy, rituximab, and emerging targeted therapies transforming patient care. We also examine how these updates influence frontline care in the UK, Australia, and the USA, and why a multidisciplinary approach remains vital in the management of MG.

Participants:

  • Professor Alasdair Coles is Head of Department for Clinical Neuroscience and also Co-Director of the Cambridge Centre for Myelin Repair, UK.
  • Associate Professor Katherine Buzzard, Clinical Lead, Eastern Health Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology Service, Melbourne, Australia.
  • Dr. Christopher Doughty, MD is a board-certified neurologist, and affiliated with Brigham and Women's Hospital, in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
