Efficacy and Safety of Belimumab in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders

Efficacy and Safety of Belimumab in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders (BEAT NMO)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Oct 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders (NMOSD) is associated with a pathological humoral immune response against the aquaporin-4(AQP-4) water channel. Belimumab (Benlysta ®) is a human immunoglobulin G1λ monoclonal antibody that inhibits B-cell survival and differentiation by neutralizing soluble B lymphocyte stimulator. Belimumab may benefit some patients with NMOSD due to the important role of B cells in the pathogenesis of NMOSD. Clinical trials may be needed to observe its efficacy and safety.
