Roche Holding AG said Friday that new pooled data from phase 3
studies shows that satralizumab is well-tolerated for the treatment
of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder in adults and
adolescents.
Data shows that satralizumab--which is a humanized monoclonal
antibody--could be a potential treatment option for the rare,
debilitating central nervous system disorder, the pharma giant
said.
"The open-label extension data from the Phase 3 studies
reinforce the safety, observed tolerability and potential of
satralizumab as a future treatment option for this chronic
condition," said Professor Jerome de Seze, department head of
neurology and clinical investigation centre at the University of
Strasbourg, France.
