Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluating the efficacy and safety of Blinatumomab in the treatment of refractory myasthenia gravis and exploring the immunological mechanisms of Blinatumomab therapy in refractory myasthenia gravis. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Participants will:

Continuous intravenous infusion of Blinatumomab for 5 days, pause for one week, and continue continuous intravenous infusion for 5 days Visit the clinic once every 1 month for checkups and tests Keep a diary of their symptoms
