Summary
Blinatumomab has reached the approved stage (maximum clinical phase 4) for at least one indication, so its use in Myasthenia Gravis (MG) would be drug repurposing rather than first-in-human development. This does not mean it is approved for Myasthenia Gravis (MG). ClinicalTrials.gov lists 2 registered trials linking Blinatumomab to Myasthenia Gravis (MG): 2 are active or not yet recruiting. The most advanced is PHASE2, PHASE3 (NCT06684184). It plans or enrolled 10 participants. Registration activity spans 2024 to 2025. No published literature item is linked to Blinatumomab and Myasthenia Gravis (MG) in the OSMF database yet, so the record rests on registry entries alone. Registry entries describe intent to study, not outcomes.
The RepurpOS disease-intelligence file for Myasthenia Gravis ranks 50 candidate therapeutics from Open Targets, ChEMBL, DGIdb and PubMed; only a minority carry direct clinical evidence, and this page covers one of those. Spontaneous remission context recorded for the condition: Spontaneous complete stable remission (CSR) in 10-20% of patients over 10 years; generalised MG rarely resolves without treatment; ocular MG may remain limited in 50-60%.

How the evidence score is calculated
- Each registered trial scores by status (recruiting / active / enrolling 3, completed 2.5, not yet recruiting 2, unknown 1, terminated / withdrawn / suspended 0.5) plus a phase bonus (phase 3-4 +2, phase 2 +1, phase 1 +0.5). The trial component is capped at 30.
- Each literature item scores by design (Cochrane review 5, meta-analysis 4, systematic review 3, RCT 3, clinical trial publication 2, curated reference 1.5, other PubMed record 1). The literature component is capped at 30.
- The existing evidence tier adds 15 (A / Strong), 10 (B / Moderate), 5 (C / Preliminary) or 0 (D / Anecdotal).
- Agents approved for any indication (max clinical phase 4) add 5, because an approved agent has an established safety profile that lowers the barrier to repurposing trials.
- The score ranks what has been studied, not what works. It does not read effect sizes or directions of effect.

Mechanism and notes
Recorded mechanism or class: antibody.
OSMF's existing evidence tier for this pair is A (Strong), derived from the strength of the disease association recorded in DGIdb, in this case via the biomarker or target CD19. The tier describes how well the drug-disease link is documented, not how well the drug works.
Frequently asked questions
Is Blinatumomab approved for Myasthenia Gravis (MG)?
Blinatumomab has reached the approved stage (maximum clinical phase 4) for at least one indication, so its use in Myasthenia Gravis (MG) would be drug repurposing rather than first-in-human development. This does not mean it is approved for Myasthenia Gravis (MG). Approval status for the specific indication should always be confirmed with the relevant regulator and prescribing information.
Is Blinatumomab in clinical trials for Myasthenia Gravis (MG)?
ClinicalTrials.gov lists 2 registered trials linking Blinatumomab to Myasthenia Gravis (MG): 2 are active or not yet recruiting. The most advanced is PHASE2, PHASE3 (NCT06684184). It plans or enrolled 10 participants. Registration activity spans 2024 to 2025.
What does the evidence show for Blinatumomab in Myasthenia Gravis (MG)?
Trials of Blinatumomab in Myasthenia Gravis (MG) are registered but none has completed, so there is no outcome evidence from those studies yet; the record is a signal of research interest. OSMF's existing evidence tier for this pair is A (Strong), derived from the strength of the disease association recorded in DGIdb, in this case via the biomarker or target CD19. The tier describes how well the drug-disease link is documented, not how well the drug works.
