Satralizumab may reduce risk of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder relapse

Patients treated with satralizumab and immunosuppressant therapy were at less risk for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder relapse compared with patients treated with placebo, according to a study.
“A recently published clinical trial of satralizulmab, compared to placebo, demonstrated that blocking of IL-6 receptors is highly effective at preventing future relapses. Furthermore, satralizumab was well tolerated with a good safety profile that makes it an attractive long-term treatment option for NMOSD patients,” study co-author Anthony Traboulsee, MD, told Healio/OSN.
