New hope for kids with rare nerve disease: satralizumab trial begins
NCT ID NCT05199688
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called satralizumab in children aged 2 to 11 who have a rare autoimmune disease called NMOSD. The main goal is to see how the drug moves through the body and if it can safely reduce relapses. Only 8 children will take part, and the results will help doctors understand if this treatment works for younger patients.
