Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: At least 18 years old and less than 75 years old at the time of informed consent Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document and the study protocol Confirmed diagnosis of developed new neurological symptoms due to NMOSD attacks Meet the following diagnostic criteria for AQP4-IgG+NMOSD 1- At least one core clinical symptom* 2- Positive test for Anti-AQP4 antibody (in the case of recurrent patients, typical clinical symptoms that meet the diagnostic criteria and MRI findings during previous attacks allow the determination of anti-AQP4 antibody positivity based on previous anti-AQP4 antibody positivity) 3- Exclusion of alternative diagnoses *Main Clinical Symptoms - Optic neuritis - Acute myelitis - Area postrema syndrome : episode of otherwise unexplained hiccups or neusea and vomiting - Acute brainstem syndrome - Symptomatic narcolepsy or acute diencephalic clinical syndrome with NMOSD-typical diencephalic MRI lesions - Symptomatic cerebral syndrome with NMOSD-typical brain MRI lesions

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients previously treated with IL-6 inhibitors, alemtuzumab, total-body radiation, or bone marrow transplant Patients treated with CD20 inhibitors within 6 months prior to screening and B-cell fraction < 2.9% Patients treated with eculizumab, belimumab, interferon (IFN), natalizumab, glatiramer acetate, fingolimod, teriflunomide, or dimethyl fumarate within 6 months before screening Patients treated with CD4 inhibitors, cladribine, or mitoxantrone within 2 years prior to screening Pregnant or breastfeeding women Surgical procedures (excluding minor surgery) within 4 weeks prior to screening Clinical evidence of other demyelinating diseases or progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy Patients with uncontrolled serious comorbidities that may preclude participation in the study Active infection within 4 weeks prior to screening Developed an infection requiring hospitalization or intravenous (IV) treatment within 4 weeks prior to screening Active chronic hepatitis B or C Bladder and rectal problems that are associated with urinary retention or urinary incontinence History of diverticulitis, which, in the judgment of the physician, may increase the risk of complications such as perforation of the lower gastrointestinal tract Patients with evidence of active tuberculosis (excluding patients receiving chemoprophylaxis for latent tuberculosis infection) Patients with active interstitial lung disease Receipt of live or live attenuated vaccine within 6 weeks prior to screening

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Phamacodynamics Calculate summary statistics for IL-6 and soluble Interleukin-6 Receptor (sIL-6R) in serum and CSF The calculated CSF/serum ratios and summary statistics (mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, median, minimum, and maximum) for IL-6, sIL-6R, and albumin concentrations are summarized in the table

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Safety It will be performed on all subjects who received the study drug. Individual data for adverse events, serious adverse events, AESI, laboratory tests (hematology, blood biochemistry, coagulation, urinalysis, immunoserology), 12-lead ECG, vital signs (temperature, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate), and C-SSRS will be listed. Summarize (descriptive statistics) if necessary. Phamacokinetics It will be performed on subjects who received the study drug and had at least one measurement of drug concentration in serum or CSF. The individual and mean serum and CSF satralizumab concentrations over time will be summarized in tables and graphs Phamacodynamics It will be performed on subjects who received the study drug and had at least one pharmacodynamic meaasurement taken.Summary statistics of anti-AQP4 antibody concentrations in serum and CSF will be calculated. Other It will be performed on subjects who have undergone at least one ADA evaluation before and after treatment with the study drug. List individual serum anti-satralizumab antibody data. Summary (descriptive statistics) if necessary.
