Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participants must be anti-AQP4 Ab-positive and have a diagnosis of NMOSD as defined by the 2015 international consensus diagnostic criteria.

• Complement inhibitor treatment-naïve participants must have had at least 1 attack or relapse in the last 12 months prior to the Screening Period.

• Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score = 7.

• Eculizumab-experienced participants must be clinically stable per Investigator for 30 days and have been treated with eculizumab in Study ECU-NMO-303 for at least 90 days prior to screening with no missed doses within 2 months prior to Day 1.

• Participants who enter the study receiving supportive IST(s) (eg, corticosteroid, azathioprine [AZA], mycophenolate mofetil [MMF], methotrexate [MTX], tacrolimus [TAC], cyclosporin [CsA], or cyclophosphamide [CYC]) for the prevention of relapse, either in combination or monotherapy, must be on a stable dosing regimen of adequate duration prior to Screening and remain on a stable dosing regimen during the Screening Period.

• To reduce the risk of meningococcal infection (Neisseria meningitidis), all participants must be vaccinated against meningococcal infection.

• Documented vaccination for Hib and S pneumoniae at least 14 days prior to Day 1 according to national/local guidelines for the applicable age group.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Use of rituximab within 6 months prior to Day 1.

• Currently treated with a biologic medications (other than eculizumab) that may affect immune system functioning, or has stopped treatment with a biologic medication that may affect immune system functioning, and 5 half lives of the medication have not elapsed by the time of the Screening Visit.

• Use of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) or plasma exchange (PE) within 3 weeks prior to Screening.

• Participation in another investigational drug or investigational device study (other than Study ECU-NMO-303) within 5 half lives of that investigational product (if known) or 30 days before initiation of the first dose of study drug, whichever is longer.

• Use of immunomodulatory therapies for multiple sclerosis within 3 months prior to Screening.

Intervention

Drug:
• Ravulizumab
Participants will receive a weight-based loading dose of ravulizumab on Day 1, followed by weight-based maintenance treatment with ravulizumab on Day 15 and every 8 weeks (q8w) after or once every 4 weeks (q4w) depending on weight. During the Extension Period, participants will continue to receive weight-based maintenance doses of ravulizumab IV on Day 351 and q8w or q4w, depending on weight.
