About this study

Official title: NPB-01(Intravenous Immunoglobulin) Therapy for Patients With Anti-aquaporin 4 Antibody Positive Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder Not Provided Adequate Effect of Therapy to Steroids Plus Therapy.

Patients diagnosed with anti-aquaporin 4 antibody positive Neuromyelitis Optica spectrum disorder were confirmed based on diagnostic criteria. Patients who meet all inclusion criteria and do not conflict with the exclusion criteria will receive steroid plus therapy (1g/day for five consecutive days). Subsequently, patients who not provided adequate effect of therapy to steroids plus therapy will receive NPB-01 (intravenous immunoglobulin) 400mg/kg/day for five consecutive days. Patients evaluated Quantification of nerve and spinal cord impairment (QOSI) and the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)/ Functional Systems (FS) and anti-aquaporin 4 antibody et al.

As a safety endpoint, the safety of NPB-01 will be investigated the occurrence of adverse events by one year after the start of the study treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing NPB-01 in people with Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder, run by Nihon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from Baseline Quantification of nerve and spinal cord impairment (QOSI) at 29 days (time frame: 29 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Apr 2017.
