The ExTINGUISH Trial of Inebilizumab in NMDAR Encephalitis

Research Question:
Does the drug Inebilizumab improve disability in patients with a particular type of encephalitis, called anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis?

Basic Study Information

Purpose:
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is a life-threatening autoimmune disorder for which there are no approved therapies. This study will determine if the drug, Inebilizumab, will improve the disability of patients who have anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis. You will be randomized to receive either standard care for this disease, Inelbilizumab, or a placebo. You may be eligible to join if you are 18 years of age or older, have a diagnosis of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis, and have had a recent change in your mental status.
