Recent advancements have led to the development of targeted therapies such as Alexion Pharmaceuticals\u2019 Soliris and Ultomiris, Roche \/ Genentech\u2019s Enspryng and Amgen\u2019s Uplizna, which is specifically approved for AQP4-positive <abbr data-abbreviation-entity=\"10075\" title=\"neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder\">NMOSD<\/abbr>. However, owing to high costs, access considerations, and individualized, patient-specific treatment decision-making, off-label agents such as rituximab, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants are widely used, particularly in early treatment stages and among patients with AQP4-seronegative disease, for whom approved options are limited.
