An Open Label Study of the Effects and Safety of Zanubrutinib in NMOSDs Adult Patients
- Registration Number
- NCT05356858
- Lead Sponsor
- Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing
- Brief Summary
This is an open-label study, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a BTK inhibitor zanubrutinib in participants with NMOSDs.
- Detailed Description
This is an open, single-center clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Zanubrutinib in the treatment of recurrent neuromyelitis optica spectrum disease. Patients were required to be diagnosed with neuromyelitis optic spectrum disease according to the NMOSD diagnostic criteria established by the international NMO Diagnostic Group (IPND) in 2015, and to have had at least two relapses (including first episode) within two years while at least one relapse occurring within the 12 months prior to screening. The AQP4 antibody must be positive during screening.

Group Intervention Description zanubrutinib zanubrutinib zanubrutinib orally, 80mg bid for 1 year
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Relapse-free rate at week 48 up to week 48 Proportion of subjects who are relapse-free at week 48
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Changes in the expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score from baseline at week 12,24,36 and 48 up to week12,24,36 and 48 EDSS is an ordered scale with values ranging from 0 points (normal neurological examination) to 10 points (death) in increments of 0.5 points. Higher scores indicate increased disability, and negative changes from baseline indicate improvement
Changes in visual acuity at week 12, 24,36 and 48 from baseline up to week12,24,36 and 48 Changes in visual acuity at week 12, 24,36 and 48 from baseline
Changes in the MOS item short from health survey (SF-36) score at week 12, 24,36 and 48 from baseline up to week12,24,36 and 48 The SF-36 is a multi-purpose, concise 36-question health survey scale. It contains 8 dimensions,The eight dimensions were converted to a scale of 0-100, with a higher score indicating a better quality of life. Positive change from baseline indicates improvement.
Changes in Serum AQP4-IgG titer at week 12, 24,36 and 48 from baseline up to week12,24,36 and 48 Changes in Serum AQP4-IgG titer at week 12, 24,36 and 48 from baseline
Changes in Peripheral blood lymphocyte subset at week 12, 24,36 and 48 from baseline up to week12,24,36 and 48 Changes in Peripheral blood lymphocyte subset at week 12, 24,36 and 48 from baseline
Plasma concentraion of zanubrutinib up to week 48 Concentraion of zanubrutinib in peripheral blood plasma
Number of participants with all grade Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events and who discontinued study therapy due to AEs up to week 48 Evaluate Number of participants with all grade Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events determined by NCI-CTCAE V5.0，and tolerance base on percentage of patients who discontinued study therapy due to AEs
