Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, PK, and PD of satralizumab in participants with NMDAR and LGI1 encephalitis.

Conditions

  • NMDAR Autoimmune Encephalitis
  • LGI1 Autoimmune Encephalitis

Interventions

OTHER

Placebo

Satralizumab placebo prefilled syringe (PFS) is identical in composition to satralizumab PFS, but does not contain the satralizumab active ingredient and will be identical in appearance and packaging to satralizumab. A PFS (assembled with an needle safety device \[NSD\] and extended finger flange) filled with 0.5 milliliters (mL) of solution, corresponding to 60 milligrams (mg) satralizumab, may be used in Part 2 once it becomes available at the study site.

DRUG

Satralizumab

In Part 1, study drug will be administered after all other study-related procedures have been performed at a site visit at Weeks 0, 2, 4, and every 4 weeks (Q4W) thereafter. Participants will receive satralizumab according to body weight. Study drug will be administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection in the abdominal or femoral region after all other study-related procedures have been performed at a site visit. In Part 2, participants will be asked to choose from one of the following options: Option 1: continue on randomized, double-blind study drug; Option 2: start open-label satralizumab based on body weight; Option 3: stop study treatment and continue follow-up assessments.
