• Stream 3: conduct a randomised trial to compare different regimens for a therapeutic immunoglobulin (e.g. varied dosage, duration, route of administration) against each other and/or other therapeutic options (e.g. alternative or concurrent therapies) for myasthenia gravis or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, to inform their most cost-effective use.
