Study summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase Ⅱ study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Mitoxantrone Hydrochloride Liposome Injection with different doses in participants with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Participants will be randomly enrolled into three groups: Mitoxantrone Hydrochloride Liposome Injection 8 mg/m\^2 group, Mitoxantrone Hydrochloride Liposome Injection 12 mg/m\^2 group, and Placebo group. The primary outcome measure is time to first protocol-defined relapse.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Time to First Protocol-defined Relapse

    Time to First Protocol-defined Relapse was defined as time from randomization to first occurrence of relapse. Protocol-defined relapse was occurrence of new or worsening neurological symptoms attributable to neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 7, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
