Percentage of participants in the active TED population (i.e., participants who have active disease) who achieved a ≥ 2 mm reduction in proptosis from baseline (Day 1) to Week 24 in the study eye, with no corresponding deterioration of proptosis (≥ 2 mm increase) in the fellow eye have been reported. Percentages have been rounded off.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Baseline up to 523 weeks

AE=any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal relationship with it. AE can therefore be any unfavorable \& unintended sign, symptoms/disease temporally associated with use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not considered related to it. SAE is any significant hazard, contraindication, or side effect that is fatal or life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is medically significant or requires intervention. The first dosing visit in the current study or randomization visit in the parent studies (NCT02028884/NCT02073279) was considered as baseline for this outcome measure. All AEs from the time of randomization in the parent studies for satralizumab-treated participants are reported here.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs) and Selected AEs
Baseline up to 523 weeks

An AESIs included potential drug induced liver injury and suspected transmission of an infectious agent by study drug defined as any organism, virus, or infectious particle (e.g., prion protein transmitting transmissible spongiform encephalopathy), pathogenic or non-pathogenic causing clinical symptoms or laboratory findings that indicate an infection in a participant exposed to a medicinal product. Selected AEs included infections that required treatments with IV antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals; opportunistic infections that required treatment with oral antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals and injection related reaction. The first dosing visit in the current study or randomization visit in the parent studies (NCT02028884/NCT02073279) was considered as baseline for this outcome measure. All AEs from the time of randomization in the parent studies for satralizumab-treated participants are reported here.

Time to First Protocol-Defined Relapse (TFR) During the Double-Blind (DB) Period
Up to Week 216

TFR was defined as time from randomization to first occurrence of relapse in the DB period. Protocol-defined relapse was occurrence of new or worsening neurological symptoms attributable to neurological neuromyelitis optica (NMO) or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Symptoms had to persist for \>24 hours and not be attributable to confounding clinical factors (e.g., fever, infection, injury, change in mood, adverse reactions to medications). New or worsening neurological symptoms that occurred \< 31 days following onset of a protocol-defined relapse were considered part of same relapse (i.e., if 2 relapses had onset days that were 30 days of one another, they were counted only as 1 relapse), and onset date used in analysis was the date of first relapse.

Time to First Protocol-Defined Relapse (TFR) in the Double-Blind Period
Up to Week 224

TFR was defined as time from randomization to first occurrence of relapse in the DB period. Protocol-defined relapse was occurrence of new or worsening neurological symptoms attributable to neurological neuromyelitis optica (NMO) or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) as adjudicated by an independent clinical endpoint committee (CEC). Symptoms had to persist for \>24 hours and not be attributable to confounding clinical factors (e.g., fever, infection, injury, change in mood, adverse reactions to medications). New or worsening neurological symptoms that occurred \< 31 days following onset of a protocol-defined relapse were considered part of same relapse (i.e., if 2 relapses had onset days that were 30 days of one another, they were counted only as 1 relapse), and onset date used in analysis was the date of first relapse.

Frequently asked questions about Satralizumab

What is Satralizumab used for?

Satralizumab is an investigational monoclonal antibody being studied for several neurological and autoimmune conditions, including Thyroid Eye Disease, Neuromyelitis Optica, Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, NMDAR Autoimmune Encephalitis, and Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody-Associated Disease (MOGAD). It is currently in Phase 2 clinical development.

What does Satralizumab target?

Satralizumab is a monoclonal antibody, classified as a -mab, that targets the interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor. By blocking this receptor, it is designed to modulate immune responses involved in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. It is being investigated for diseases such as Thyroid Eye Disease and NMDAR Autoimmune Encephalitis.

Who makes Satralizumab?

Satralizumab is being developed by Roche Holding AG, a multinational healthcare company traded under the ticker RHHBY. Roche is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's efficacy and safety across multiple indications, including Thyroid Eye Disease and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

What phase is Satralizumab in?

Satralizumab is currently in Phase 2 clinical development. While some of its trials are listed as Phase 3, the overall development stage for the drug is Phase 2. It is an investigational agent and has not been approved by regulatory authorities for any indication.

What clinical trials is Satralizumab in?

Satralizumab is being studied in several clinical trials. NCT05503264 is a Phase 3 trial in NMDAR and LGI1 autoimmune encephalitis, currently active but not recruiting. NCT05987423 and NCT06106828 are completed Phase 3 trials in Thyroid Eye Disease. NCT06450639 is a Phase 2 trial in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, also active but not recruiting.

Is Satralizumab the same as Enspryng?

Satralizumab is also known by the brand name Enspryng. It is a monoclonal antibody targeting the IL-6 receptor, developed by Roche. The drug is being investigated for conditions such as Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder and Thyroid Eye Disease, though it remains in clinical development.
