NCT ID NCT07100990

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tests whether starting plasma exchange early, rather than waiting as a rescue option, leads to better vision in severe optic neuritis and better mobility in severe transverse myelitis. About 382 adults with these inflammatory nerve conditions will be randomly assigned to early or rescue treatment. The goal is to see if acting fast can prevent lasting disability.
