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.

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. |
1. I pazienti devono avere 18 anni o più al momento in cui firmano il consenso informato. Devono essere positivi per Anti-AQP4 Ab e la diagnosi di NMOSD deve essere formulata secondo "international consensus diagnostic criteria" del 2015 2. Almeno un evento o 1 recidiva negli ultimi 12 mesi prima dello screening. NOTA: i pazienti con un solo evento nel corso della loro vita soddisfano il criterio n.3 se l'evento si è verificato negli ultimi 12 mesi. 3. Punteggio Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) = 7 4. I pazienti che entrano nello studio con terapia immunosoppressiva di supporto (eg, corticosteroids, azathioprine [AZA], mycophenolate mofetil [MMF], methotrexate [MTX], and tacrolimus [TAC]) per la prevenzione delle recidive, sia in combinazione che in monoterapia, devo essere in dosaggio stabile di durata adeguata prima dello screening senza alcun piano di modificare la dose durante lo studio, secondo lo schema seguente: a. Se un paziente che entra nello studio sta assumendo AZA, deve essere in trattamento con AZA da = 6 mesi e deve essere in dosaggio stabile per = 2 mesi prima dello screening. b. Se un paziente che entra nello studio sta ricevendo altri IST (eg, MMF, MTX, o TAC), deve essere in trattamento per almeno = 3 mesi e devono essere in dosaggio stabile per = 4 settimane prima dello screening. c. Se un paziente che entra nello studio sta assumendo corticosteroidi per via orale, con o senza IST, la dose giornaliera di corticosteroide non deve essere superiore a prednisone 20 mg/day (o equivalente) prima dello screening. 5. Vaccinato contro N. Meningitidis entro 3 anni prima, o al momento, di iniziare la terapia con Ravulizumab. I pazienti che iniziano il trattamento con il farmaco in studio meno di due settimane dopo aver ricevuto il vaccino devono ricevere anche una profilassi antibiotica adeguata fino a 2 settimane dopo la vaccinazione. |
