NMD Symposium: The role of neuromuscular transmission failure and ClC-1 inhibition as a novel therapeutic approach across neuromuscular diseases; positive proof of mechanism in patients with myasthenia gravis

Recorded at ANA2023
Episode Description

In a group of neuromuscular diseases, dysfunctions that cause excitation failures of muscle fiber action potential at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) lead to excessive and, in some cases, life-threatening muscle weakness. Multiple cellular mechanisms can cause NMJ transmission failure in these diseases, commonly affecting the release of acetylcholine from pre-synaptic nerve terminals or the post-synaptic ability of muscle fibers to respond to that release.


During this symposium, we will examine how different neuromuscular diseases affect the NMJ transmission including spinal muscular atrophy, Charcot-Marie Tooth and myasthenia gravis. We will review current clinical evidence of these abnormalities in patients, their correlation with the severity of their symptoms and the potential of skeletal muscle-specific ClC-1 ion channels inhibition to correct these deficits.


Unpublished data results from a proof of mechanism study utilizing a novel and first in class ClC-1 inhibitor in patients with myasthenia gravis will be presented and discussed; patients enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-way crossover study received a ClC-1 inhibitor and demonstrated clinically relevant improvements.
