About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of privosegtor, a neuroprotective candidate, in patients diagnosed with optic neuritis (ON).
Researchers will compare privosegtor and the standard of care (methylprednisolone) to a placebo and standard of care (methylprednisolone).
