Long-term treatment with Uplizna (inebilizumab-cdon) safely and effectively reduced the frequency of attacks in the 12 neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) patients who were negative for antibodies against aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in the N-MOmentum Phase 2/3 trial. Future, appropriately-controlled studies are needed to confirm Uplizna’s benefits in this subgroup…
N-MOmentum Phase 2/3 trial
Uplizna (inebilizumab-cdon) safely prevented autoimmune attacks in 83% of people with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) who received the treatment for four or more years, data from the N-MOmentum Phase 2/3 clinical trial show. Among those who experienced relapses, most did so during the first year of treatment.
Treatment with Uplizna (inebilizumab-cdon) can reduce disability progression in people with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), findings from the N-MOmentum clinical trial show. The results were published in Neurology Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation, in a study, “Disability Outcomes in the N-MOmentum Trial of Inebilizumab in Neuromyelitis…
Uplizna (inebilizumab-cdon) reduced pain among adults with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), according to an analysis of the N-MOmentum Phase 2/3 clinical trial. The results were presented by Ho Jin Kim, MD, PhD, an investigator in the trial, at the 2021 virtual American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting,…
Long-term treatment with Uplizna (inebilizumab-cdon) is safe and sustainably reduces the frequency of attacks in adults with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), according to four-year data from the N-MOmentum Phase 2/3 clinical trial. Notably, these benefits also were observed among patients who previously received rituximab, an immunosuppressive therapy often…
Note: This story was updated March 29, 2021, to note that Uplizna is indicated for all NMOSD patients, regardless of the presence of aquaporin-4 water channel autoantibodies. Uplizna (inebilizumab-cdon) has been approved in Japan for preventing relapses in people with neuromyelitis…
