Conditions

anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis (anti-NMDAR encephalitis)

Brief summary

Change in mRS at 16 weeks, Inebilizumab safety, as measured by the number of treatment-emergent adverse events and treatment-emergent serious adverse events from randomization to 24 weeks

Detailed description

Time to mRS ≤ 2, corrected for baseline value, over 16 weeks, CASE Score (linear mixed model), corrected from baseline value to Week 24 (Weeks 6 and 16), mRS at Week 6 as measured by proportional odds logistic regression/shift analysis, Proportion of participants who meet the protocol-defined criteria for needing rescue therapy with cyclophosphamide at Week 6, as measured by logistic regression, Cognitive outcome at Week 24 as measured by the total scaled score on the RBANS + total raw score on the TMT, Clinician global impression of change (CGI-I) and Caregiver global impression of change (CaGI) over 24 weeks, as measured by ordinal repeated measures models, Survival as measured by a Kaplan-Meier analysis
