Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Satralizumab + Baseline Treatment

Participants randomized to this arm for the double-blind period will receive satralizumab in addition to baseline treatment. The double-blind period ends when either the participant has a treated relapse or the total number of protocol-defined relapses confirmed by the Clinical Endpoint Committee (CEC) reaches 26. In the open-label extension period, the participant will receive (with or without baseline treatment) an SC injection of satralizumab at Weeks 0, 2, and 4, and Q4W thereafter, with the last study drug administration on or before 31 December 2021.

Drug: Satralizumab
Satralizumab will be administered subcutaneously (SC) at Weeks 0, 2, and 4, and thereafter once every 4 weeks (Q4W).
Other Names:

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. 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.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline at Week 24 in the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Score for Pain [Baseline, Week 24]

      The VAS is a subjective measure of pain consisting of a 100 mm line with two endpoints representing 0 = "no pain" and 100 = "pain as bad as it could be". Participants rated their pain by placing a mark on the line corresponding to their current level of pain. The distance along the line from the "no pain" marker was measured with a ruler giving a pain score out of 100. A higher score indicated more pain and lower scores reflected a better health state. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement. ANCOVA was used for analysis to report the adjusted mean and standard error (SE).

    2. Change From Baseline at Week 24 in the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) Fatigue Score [Baseline, Week 24]

      The FACIT Fatigue scale is a 13-item questionnaire that assesses self-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function over the past 7 days. As each of the 13 items of the scale ranges from 0-4, the range of possible scores was computed using FACIT scoring algorithm as 0-52, where 0 is the worst possible score and 52 the best which indicated less fatigue. A positive change from baseline indicates an improvement. ANCOVA was used for analysis to report the adjusted mean and SE.

    3. Relapse-Free Rate During the DB Period [Up to Week 216]

      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 onsets within 30 days of one another, they were counted as 1), and onset date used in analysis was the date of first relapse.

    4. Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR) During the DB Period [Up to Week 216]

      The ARR is calculated as the total number of participants with relapses experienced divided by the patient-years at risk. Protocol-defined relapse was occurrence of new or worsening neurological symptoms attributable to neurological NMO or 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 (2 relapses with onset days in 30 days of one another was counted as 1 relapse), onset date used in analysis was the date of first relapse.

    5. Change From Baseline in Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Scores at 24 Week Intervals During the DB Period [Baseline up to Week 216]

      The mRS is a 7-point disability scale that assesses the degree of disability in participants with neurological impairment. Possible scores range from 0 (no symptoms at all) up to 6 (death). Higher scores reflect increased disability. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement.

    6. Change From Baseline in Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) Scores at 24 Week Intervals During the DB Period [Baseline up to Week 168]

      The ZBI is the measurement to assess caregiver burden. The 22 items ask for the strain caregivers perceive. Responses range from 0 (never) to 4 (nearly always). The overall ZBI score ranges from 0 to 88. The higher the total score, the heavier the perceived burden. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement.

    7. Change From Baseline in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Scores at 24 Week Intervals During the DB Period [Baseline up to Week 216]

      The EDSS is an ordinal scale with values from 0 points (normal neurological examination) to 10 points (death) increasing in half-point increments once an EDSS of 1.0 has been reached. Higher scores represent increased disability. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement.

    8. Change From Baseline in Visual Acuity (Snellen Chart) at 24 Week Intervals During the DB Period [Baseline up to Week 216]

      Visual acuity was measured using Snellen 20-foot wall chart and then converted to logMAR visual acuity scoring. Lower values indicate better visual acuity. Data are reported for right eye (OD) and left eye (OS). A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement.

    9. Change From Baseline in Short Form Generic Health Survey (SF-36) Mental Component Summary Scores at 24 Week Intervals During the DB Period [Baseline up to Week 216]

      The SF-36v2 is a multi-purpose, short form health survey with 36 questions.

    24. Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event in the DB Period [Up to Week 224]

      An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Pre-existing conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.

    25. Number of Participants With at Least One Serious Adverse Event in the DB Period [Up to Week 224]

      A serious adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is medically significant or requires intervention to prevent one or other of the outcomes listed above.

    26. Number of Participants With Non-Serious Adverse Events of Special Interest in the DB Period [Up to Week 224]

      Non-serious adverse events of special interest for this study included: 1) cases of an elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in combination with either an elevated bilirubin or clinical jaundice, 2) suspected transmission of an infectious agent by the study treatment.

    27. Number of Participants With Selected Adverse Events in the DB Period [Up to Week 224]

      Selected adverse events for this study included: 1) non-serious infections that required treatments with intravenous (IV) antibiotic, antifungal, antiviral, 2) opportunistic infections that required treatments with oral antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals, 3) injection-related reactions (IRRs; an AE which occured within 24 hours after study treatment injection except where the event was not considered an allergic reaction), and 4) anaphylaxis (an acute allergic/hypersensitivity reaction).

    28. Number of Participants With Suicidal Behaviors and Ideations Collected by Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale in the DB Period [Baseline and Post-Baseline (up to Week 224)]

      The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is an assessment tool to evaluate suicidal ideation and behavior. Categories have binary responses (yes/no) and include: Wish to be Dead; Non-specific Active Suicidal Thoughts; Active Suicidal Ideation with Any Methods (Not Plan) without Intent to Act; Active Suicidal Ideation with Some Intent to Act, without Specific Plan; Active Suicidal Ideation with Specific Plan and Intent, Preparatory Acts and Behavior; Aborted Attempt; Interrupted Attempt; Actual Attempt (non-fatal); Completed Suicide. Suicidal ideation or behavior is indicated by a "yes" answer to any of the listed categories. A score of 0 is assigned if no suicide risk is present. A score of 1 or higher indicates suicidal ideation or behavior.

    29. Blood Anti-Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) Antibody Concentration Over Time [Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, and every 24 weeks thereafter of double-blind period; every 24 weeks for first 48 weeks of open-label extension period (up to approximately 7 years)]

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details Participants took part in the double-blind (DB) period up to the clinical cut-off date (CCOD: 06 June 2018). The CCOD was defined by the onset date of the 26th clinical endpoint committee-confirmed protocol-defined relapse (PDR). The study is ongoing in the open-label extension (OLE) period.
    Pre-assignment Detail
    Arm/Group Title Placebo + Baseline Treatment, Then Satralizumab Satralizumab + Baseline Treatment, Then Satralizumab
    Arm/Group Description Participants received matching placebo, subcutaneous (SC) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and every 4 weeks (Q4W) thereafter throughout the double-blind (DB) period up to protocol-defined relapse or treated relapse in addition to baseline treatment. Following the DB period all participants received satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter up to the clinical cut-off date (CCOD). At the CCOD, participants who had not experienced a relapse during the DB period were invited to initiate satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter) after 4 weeks from their last study treatment dose in the DB period. Participants received satralizumab 120 mg SC injection at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter throughout the DB period up to protocol-defined relapse or treated relapse in addition to baseline treatment. Following the DB period all participants received satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter up to the CCOD. At the CCOD, participants who had not experienced a relapse during the DB period were invited to continue satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter) after 4 weeks from their last study treatment dose in the DB period.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Time to First Protocol-Defined Relapse (TFR) in the Double-Blind Period
    Description 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.
    Time Frame Up to Week 224

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    ITT population included all participants randomized to the treatment groups. For participants who had not relapsed, the TFR was censored on the date of end of the DB period.
    Arm/Group Title Placebo + Baseline Treatment Satralizumab + Baseline Treatment
    Arm/Group Description Participants received matching placebo, subcutaneous (SC) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and every 4 weeks (Q4W) thereafter throughout the double-blind (DB) period up to protocol-defined relapse or treated relapse in addition to baseline treatment. Following the DB period all participants received satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter up to the clinical cut-off date (CCOD). At the CCOD, participants who had not experienced a relapse during the DB period were invited to initiate satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter) after 4 weeks from their last study treatment dose in the DB period.

    2. Secondary Outcome
    Title Change From Baseline at Week 24 in the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Score for Pain
    Description The VAS is a subjective measure of pain consisting of a 100 mm line with two endpoints representing 0 = "no pain" and 100 = "pain as bad as it could be". Participants rated their pain by placing a mark on the line corresponding to their current level of pain. The distance along the line from the "no pain" marker was measured with a ruler giving a pain score out of 100. A higher score indicated more pain and lower scores reflected a better health state. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement. ANCOVA was used for analysis to report the adjusted mean and standard error (SE).

    3. Secondary Outcome
    Title Change From Baseline at Week 24 in the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) Fatigue Score
    Description The FACIT Fatigue scale is a 13-item questionnaire that assesses self-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function over the past 7 days. As each of the 13 items of the scale ranges from 0-4, the range of possible scores was computed using FACIT scoring algorithm as 0-52, where 0 is the worst possible score and 52 the best which indicated less fatigue. A positive change from baseline indicates an improvement. ANCOVA was used for analysis to report the adjusted mean and SE.

    Title Change From Baseline in Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) Scores at 24 Week Intervals During the DB Period
    Description The ZBI is the measurement to assess caregiver burden. The 22 items ask for the strain caregivers perceive. Responses range from 0 (never) to 4 (nearly always). The overall ZBI score ranges from 0 to 88. The higher the total score, the heavier the perceived burden. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement.

    Title Change From Baseline in SF-36 Physical Functioning Domain Scores at 24 Week Intervals During the DB Period
    Description The SF-36v2 is a multi-purpose, short form health survey with 36 questions. It has 8 domains (vitality, physical functioning, bodily pain, general health, role-physical, role emotional, social role functioning and mental health) of functional health and well-being scores as well as psychometrically based physical and mental health component summary measures and a preference-based health utility index. The domain scores were transformed to a 0-100 scale, where higher scores indicate better quality of life. A positive change from baseline indicates an improvement.

    Title Serum Soluble IL-6 Receptor (sIL-6R) Concentration During the DB Period
    Description
    Time Frame Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, and every 4 weeks thereafter up to Week 224

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The SAF included all randomized participants who had received at least 1 dose of satralizumab or placebo. Number analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analyses at the given timepoint.
    Arm/Group Title Placebo + Baseline Treatment Satralizumab + Baseline Treatment
    Arm/Group Description Participants received matching placebo, subcutaneous (SC) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and every 4 weeks (Q4W) thereafter throughout the double-blind (DB) period up to protocol-defined relapse or treated relapse in addition to baseline treatment. Following the DB period all participants received satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter up to the clinical cut-off date (CCOD). At the CCOD, participants who had not experienced a relapse during the DB period were invited to initiate satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter) after 4 weeks from their last study treatment dose in the DB period. Participants received satralizumab 120 mg SC injection at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter throughout the DB period up to protocol-defined relapse or treated relapse in addition to baseline treatment. Following the DB period all participants received satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter up to the CCOD. At the CCOD, participants who had not experienced a relapse during the DB period were invited to continue satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter) after 4 weeks from their last study treatment dose in the DB period.

    Description
    Time Frame Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, and every 4 weeks thereafter up to Week 224

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The SAF included all randomized participants who had received at least 1 dose of satralizumab or placebo. Number analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analyses at the given timepoint.
    Arm/Group Title Placebo + Baseline Treatment Satralizumab + Baseline Treatment
    Arm/Group Description Participants received matching placebo, subcutaneous (SC) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and every 4 weeks (Q4W) thereafter throughout the double-blind (DB) period up to protocol-defined relapse or treated relapse in addition to baseline treatment. Following the DB period all participants received satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter up to the clinical cut-off date (CCOD). At the CCOD, participants who had not experienced a relapse during the DB period were invited to initiate satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter) after 4 weeks from their last study treatment dose in the DB period. Participants received satralizumab 120 mg SC injection at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter throughout the DB period up to protocol-defined relapse or treated relapse in addition to baseline treatment. Following the DB period all participants received satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter up to the CCOD. At the CCOD, participants who had not experienced a relapse during the DB period were invited to continue satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter) after 4 weeks from their last study treatment dose in the DB period.

    Title Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event in the DB Period
    Description An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Pre-existing conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.

    Time Frame Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 and every 24 weeks thereafter of double-blind period (up to approximately 30 months)

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The plasmablast assay lacked the sensitivity required to measure plasmablast levels at baseline in the majority of participants. Since most participants had plasmablast values below lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) at baseline, longitudinal assessments could not be performed and therefore plasmablast results are not reported.
    Arm/Group Title Placebo + Baseline Treatment Satralizumab + Baseline Treatment
    Arm/Group Description Participants received matching placebo, subcutaneous (SC) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and every 4 weeks (Q4W) thereafter throughout the double-blind (DB) period up to protocol-defined relapse or treated relapse in addition to baseline treatment. Following the DB period all participants received satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter up to the clinical cut-off date (CCOD). At the CCOD, participants who had not experienced a relapse during the DB period were invited to initiate satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter) after 4 weeks from their last study treatment dose in the DB period. Participants received satralizumab 120 mg SC injection at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter throughout the DB period up to protocol-defined relapse or treated relapse in addition to baseline treatment. Following the DB period all participants received satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment) at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter up to the CCOD. At the CCOD, participants who had not experienced a relapse during the DB period were invited to continue satralizumab 120 mg SC injection (with or without baseline treatment at Weeks 0, 2 and 4, and Q4W thereafter) after 4 weeks from their last study treatment dose in the DB period.
