Brief summary

This study is a multicenter, prospective cohort study designed to enroll 50 NMOSD patients who receive Satralizumab treatment during the early phase of an NMOSD attack. Follow-up visits will be conducted at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months to record and assess EDSS scores, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores, EQ-5D scores, Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scores, relapse events, safety data, and exploratory endpoints (e.g., blood inflammatory markers and visual function), with the aim of evaluating the efficacy and safety of Satralizumab in the early treatment of NMOSD-thereby providing patients with more effective therapeutic options and further optimizing the clinical management of NMOSD.

Interventions

As recommended in the prescribing information, patients will receive subcutaneous satralizumab Injection as part of their routine treatment. The loading dose is 120 mg administered at Weeks 0, 2, and 4, followed by a maintenance dose of 120 mg every 4 weeks. Maintenance treatment is recommended for a minimum duration of 24 weeks.
