First seen Apr 20, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tested an experimental drug called RC18 in 178 people with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), a rare autoimmune disease that attacks the nerves. The goal was to see if RC18 could prevent relapses and slow disability. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited. Participants had to have had recent relapses and test positive for a specific antibody.
