New study tracks immune effects of NMOSD drug over years
NCT ID NCT06180278
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the long-term safety of inebilizumab (UPLIZNA) in people with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Researchers will measure immune markers like immunoglobulins and B-cells in 32 participants during treatment and after stopping. The goal is to understand how the drug affects the immune system over time and how it recovers after discontinuation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- inebilizumab (UPLIZNA)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that long-term use of inebilizumab is safe and help doctors understand when to stop or continue treatment for NMOSD.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, open-label study with only 32 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on safety, not on whether the drug works better than other options.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 18 years or above, and able to provide written informed consent and any locally required authorization (e.g., Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act \[HIPAA\] in the United States of America (USA), European Union \[EU\] Data Privacy Directive in the EU) obtained from the subject/legal representative prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations. 2. Have completed at least 2 years in the open-label period of the N-MOmentum study or are newly initiating inebilizumab treatment at a participating site. 3. Females of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a nonsterilized male partner must use a highly effective method of contraception as outlined in the protocol (subjects in the Czech Republic only must use 1 additional method of contraception) from screening, and must agree to continue using such precautions for 6 months after treatment with inebilizumab; cessation of contraception after this point should be discussed with a responsible physician. 4. Nonsterilized males who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use a male condom plus spermicide (subjects in the Czech Republic only must use 1 additional method of contraception) from Day 1 for 3 months after receipt of last treatment with inebilizumab. 5. Sterilized males, without the appropriate post-vasectomy documentation on the absence of sperm in the ejaculate, who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use a condom and spermicide from Day 1 for 3 months after receipt of the last treatment with inebilizumab. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Have any condition that would place the participant at unacceptable risk of complications, interfere with evaluation of inebilizumab or confound the interpretation of participant safety or study results. 2. Received rituximab or any other B-cell depleting agent after exit from N-MOmentum study, or within the last 12 months prior to screening for non N-MOmentum participants. 3. Known history of allergy or reaction to any component of inebilizumab formulation or history of anaphylaxis following any biologic therapy 4. Have a severe clinically significant infection, including active chronic infection such as hepatitis B 5. Have active or untreated latent tuberculosis 6. Have a history of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) 7. Is severely immunocompromised state 8. Have active malignancies
