    • Patient demonstrated improvement in MG signs on oral cholinesterase inhibitors, as assessed by the treating physician

• Disease duration from MG onset ≤ 3 years before T-4 (Enrolment);

• MGFA class IIb to IV;

• Patient eligible for Ravulizumab treatment based on AIFA reimbursement criteria

• Patient for whom the study product is contraindicated according to SmPC
• Previous treatment with C5 inhibitors
• Last rituximab infusion performed < 6 months before T-4 (Enrolment)
• Last infusion with FcRn blockers performed < 3 months before T-4 (Enrollment)
