ARGX-119 is an agonist antibody for human MuSK that reverses disease relapse in a mouse model of congenital myasthenic syndrome

CM mice by restoring neuromuscular function and reducing muscle weakness and fatigability in a dose-dependent manner. Pharmacokinetic studies in nonhuman primates, rats, and mice revealed a nonlinear PK behavior of ARGX-119, indicative of target-mediated drug disposition and in vivo target engagement. On the basis of this proof-of-concept study, ARGX-119 has the potential to alleviate neuromuscular diseases hallmarked by impaired neuromuscular synaptic function, warranting further clinical development.
