Clinical Trials in NMO

Rare to the Rescue

How Do Clinical Trials Work?

At present there is no definitive "cure" for neuromyelitis optica (NMO). Clinical research is seeking to find better ways to prevent, diagnose, treat, and eventually cure human disease. These advances come with improved understanding of the causes and effects of the disease.

Clinical trials are designed to determine which medicines or procedures best benefit patients, and which may not. These studies often involve expert teams from academic, governmental and pharmaceutical sectors. In some cases, clinical trials seek to test the efficacy of a new drug for a disease which has no proven effective therapy. In other trials, one treatment is compared with another to examine which may be best in patients of differing disease stage or condition.
