About this trial
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of sivelestat sodium hydrate administered in combination with standard steroid pulse therapy in patients experiencing an acute NMOSD attack. Safety assessments will include adverse events, laboratory parameters, vital signs, and other clinically relevant findings. In addition, the study will explore whether the addition of sivelestat sodium hydrate to standard steroid pulse therapy improves neurological outcomes in patients with acute NMOSD.
Participants will receive intravenous sivelestat sodium hydrate at a dose of 4.8 mg/kg/day administered as a continuous infusion (0.2 mg/kg/hour) for 5 consecutive days, receive steroid pulse therapy according to the study protocol, and be followed for 28 days after treatment initiation for safety and efficacy evaluations.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients diagnosed with anti-AQP4 antibody-positive NMOSD according to the international diagnostic criteria for NMOSD (Wingerchuk, Neurology 2015).
Patients whose FS domain has worsened by at least 1 point due to relapse.
Patients with one or more relapse lesions identified on MRI (however, if the relapse is considered to have occurred in the same location as an existing MRI lesion neurologically, identification of a new relapse lesion is not required).
Patients aged 18 years or older at the time of obtaining consent.
Disqualifiers
Patients with multi-organ dysfunction involving 4 or more organs.
Patients with severe chronic respiratory disease.
Patients with autoimmune diseases other than NMOSD that are expected to require additional treatment during the study period.
Patients with active systemic bacterial, viral, or fungal infections.
