Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluating the efficacy and safety of efgartigimod in the treatment of Guillain-Barré Syndrome and exploring the immunological mechanisms of efgartigimod therapy in Guillain-Barré Syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: Will efgartigimod improve the symptoms of participants? What medical problems do participants have when using efgartigimod? Participants will: On day 1 and day 5 of the treatment period, drug A was administered intravenously. Keep a diary of their symptoms
