Optic neuritis is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the optic nerve that typically causes acute painful vision loss and can be associated with multiple sclerosis or other inflammatory disorders.
Phase 3 trial data show daratumumab reduced relapse risk by 74% in NMOSD. Separately, the FDA accepted an NDA for iberdomide plus daratumumab/dexamethasone in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, with a PDUFA date of August 17, 2026.
Over 10 companies are developing 12+ pipeline therapies for Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder, including Roche's satralizumab Phase III pediatric trial and multiple anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody candidates.
Ocular Therapeutix's Axpaxli outperformed low-dose Eylea in a Phase 3 trial for wet AMD, while Oculis Holding reported narrowed Q4 losses and expects Phase 3 trial readouts for OCS-01 in Q2 2026.
