Summary

To clarify the efficacy and safety of protein A immunoadsorption therapy for acute exacerbations of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders(NMOSD), we designed a multicenter, open-label, superiority randomized controlled clinical trial, planning to enroll 144 patients with NMOSD. We plan to treat patients with acute NMOSD using protein A immunoadsorption combined with high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone, and compare this with treatment using high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone alone. The aim is to observe the impact and safety of protein A immunoadsorption on the treatment efficacy for these patients experiencing acute exacerbations of NMOSD, ultimately providing more comprehensive clinical evidence to support treatment protocols for the acute phase of NMOSD.

Conditions

  • Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders

Interventions

DEVICE

Protein A immunoadsorption

The experimental group was treated with a combination of protein A immunoadsorption and intravenous methylprednisolone. The methylprednisolone was administered following a regimen of 1g for 5 days, 0.5g for 3 days, 0.25g for 2 days, and 0.12g for 1 day. Protein A immunoadsorption was conducted every other day, unless a physician determined that the patient's condition was unsuitable for treatment, in which case treatment was administered according to medical advice. A total of 5 treatments were given, with each session involving the regeneration of plasma at 1 to 3 times the plasma volume.

DRUG

intravenous methylprednisolone

The control group was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone, following a regimen of 1g for 5 days, 0.5g for 3 days, 0.25g for 2 days, and 0.12g for 1 day.
