E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Patient must be 18 years of age or older, at the time of signing the informed consent. Anti-AQP4 Ab-positive and a diagnosis of NMOSD as defined by the 2015 international consensus diagnostic criteria (Wingerchuk, 2015). 2. At least 1 attack or relapse in the last 12 months prior to the Screening Period NOTE: Patients with a single life-time attack will be considered to satisfy inclusion criterion #3 if the attack occurred in the last 12 months. 3. Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score ≤ 7 4. Patients who enter the trial receiving supportive IST (eg, corticosteroids, azathioprine [AZA], mycophenolate mofetil [MMF], methotrexate [MTX], and tacrolimus [TAC]) for the prevention of relapse, either in combination or monotherapy, must be on a stable dosing regimen of adequate duration prior to Screening with no plan to change the dose during the study period as follows: a. If patients who enter the study are receiving AZA, they must have been on AZA for ≥ 6 months and have been on a stable dose for ≥ 2 months prior to Screening. b. If patients who enter the study are receiving other ISTs (eg, MMF, MTX, or TAC), they must have been on the IST for ≥ 3 months and have been on a stable dose for ≥ 4 weeks prior to Screening. c. If patients who enter the study are receiving oral corticosteroids, they must have been on a stable dose for ≥ 4 weeks prior to Screening. d. If a patient enters the trial receiving oral corticosteroid(s) with or without other IST(s), the daily corticosteroid dose must be no more than prednisone 20 mg/day (or equivalent) prior to Screening. 5. Vaccinated against N. meningitidis within 3 years prior to, or at the time of, initiating ravulizumab. Patients who initiate study drug treatment less than 2 weeks after receiving a meningococcal vaccine must receive appropriate prophylactic antibiotics until 2 weeks after the vaccination. Please see the detailed list of inclusion criteria in the protocol.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. History of N. meningitidis infection. 2. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (evidenced by HIV-1 or HIV-2 antibody titer) 3. History of unexplained infections 4. Active systemic bacterial, viral, or fungal infection within 14 days prior to study drug administration on Day 1 5. Previously or currently treated with a complement inhibitor. 6. Use of rituximab within 3 months prior to Screening 7. Use of mitoxantrone within 3 months prior to Screening 8. Use of Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIg) within 3 weeks prior to Screening 9. Participation in any other investigational drug study or exposure to an investigational drug or device within 30 days of Screening or 5 half-lives of the study drug, whichever is greater 10. Pregnant, breastfeeding, or intending to conceive during the course of the study Please see the detailed list of exclusion criteria in the protocol.
