Summary

This study tested a daily pill called zanubrutinib in 6 adults with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), a rare disease where the immune system attacks the optic nerves and spinal cord. The goal was to see if the drug could prevent relapses and reduce disability over 48 weeks. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited.
