Data from Trial Evaluating Eculizumab for the Treatment of Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder to be Presented at AAN Annual Meeting

Posted on

Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc, announced that nine abstracts have been accepted for presentation at the 72nd annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from April 25 through May 1, 2020. Long-term safety and efficacy results from the Phase 3 PREVENT study and open-label extension of SOLIRIS® (eculizumab) in adults with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) who are anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody-positive will be presented, demonstrating the percentage of SOLIRIS patients who were relapse-free remained high (94 percent) through 192 weeks. Additional PREVENT data to be presented highlight the efficacy of SOLIRIS and its impact on health outcomes, hospitalization rates and relapse treatment, disability worsening and quality of life, and the evidence of benefit of SOLIRIS across a broad range of patients with NMOSD.

The accepted abstracts are listed below and are now available on the AAN website:
