The patient was treated with plasmapheresis,
mestinon and methylprednisolone and his symptoms improved.
A diagnosis of mild, generalised myasthenia gravis was made and the patient was started on a titration dose of pyridostigmine (
Mestinon) 30 mg three times daily.
The ongoing Phase IIa clinical study is currently evaluating the safety and efficacy of three different, once-daily oral doses of EN101 in patients with MG compared with
Mestinon. An interim analysis of this study has shown that each of the three doses of EN101 showed a statistically significant improvement over baseline quantitative MG ("QMG") score.

Within months Hoffman-LaRoche, working with Dr Walker, had synthesised an oral preparation (
