Meteoroid Trial Summary

This trial is testing if a potential new medication, satralizumab, is better than placebo at preventing people with a certain kind of autoimmune disease from relapsing.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 12 and older with confirmed MOGAD who've had at least one relapse in the past year or two in the last two years. Participants must not be pregnant, agree to use contraception, have a certain level of disability (EDSS score 0-6.5), and good vision (BCVA better than 20/800). They can't join if they have other antibodies, infections, hepatitis B/C, are pregnant/breastfeeding, recently vaccinated with live vaccines, severe allergies to biologics or need high doses of steroids.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether Satralizumab is more effective than a placebo in preventing relapses in patients with MOGAD. It measures the time until a participant has their first relapse after starting treatment during a double-blind period where neither doctors nor participants know who's getting Satralizumab or placebo.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Satralizumab may cause side effects such as potential allergic reactions due to it being a biological agent. The exact side effects aren't listed here but typically include symptoms related to immune system changes since it targets specific pathways involved in inflammation.
