A Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety of inebilizumab in eligible pediatric participants 2 to \< 18 years of age with recently active neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) who are seropositive for autoantibodies against aquaporin-4 (AQP4-immunoglobulin \[Ig\]G).
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
Amgen Inc (AMGN) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company F (35/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
