Study population

This study is a real-world study and will enroll patients diagnosed with NMOSD who are AQP4-IgG positive and receiving satralizumab in routine clinical practice in China

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Patients have been diagnosed with NMOSD and tested seropositive for AQP4 antibody, ≥ 12 years old;
  2. EDSS score ≤ 8.5 at baseline;
  3. Patients have experienced ≥ 1 relapse of NMOSD in the last 12 months or ≥ 2 relapses in the last 24 months;
  4. Patients should have received or be anticipated to receive satralizumab treatment for at least 12 months;
  5. Patients understand the study procedures and sign the form indicating willingness to participate in the study (for those \< 18 years of age, the guardian should sign the informed consent form on behalf of the patient).

Exclusion criteria

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Groups and cohorts

  • Satralizumab treatment group

    Drug: Satralizumab

Interventions

  • Satralizumab is the first monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of NMOSD in China. Currently, there is still a lack of standard patient management pattern for NMOSD. While satralizumab offers the advantage of home administration, there remains a pressing need for optimized patient management.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients relapse-free at 12 months of treatment with satralizumab

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. Change from baseline in EDSS score at 12 months of treatment with satralizumab

    Time frame: 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients relapse-free at 6 months of treatment with satralizumab

    Time frame: 6 months

  2. Change from baseline in EDSS score at 6 months of treatment with satralizumab

    Time frame: 6 months

  3. Change patterns from baseline in clinical outcome assessments (COAs) at Months 1, 3, 6, and 12 during satralizumab treatment

    Time frame: 1, 3, 6, 12 months

  4. Incidence of AEs and SAEs during satralizumab treatment

    Adverse events were coded using MedDRA version 27.1. Adverse events were analyzed in the safety analysis population (all patients who received at least one dose of study treatment) in terms of percentage incidence and as rates by exposure time (number of events per 100 patient-years of exposure and the associated 95% CI) to adjust for any differences in duration of exposure. The severity of adverse events was measured by NCI CTCAE version 5.0.

    Time frame: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 months

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 Sep 18, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
