Conditions

Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder, NMOSD

Brief summary

This study will primarily evaluate the pharmacokinetics of satralizumab in pediatric patients aged 2-11 years with anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody seropositive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics will be evaluated in a descriptive manner, given the small number of patients who will be enrolled in this study.

Interventions

Participants will receive satralizumab treatment for a minimum of 48 weeks and then will have the opportunity to enter an optional satralizumab extension (OSE) period.
