Enrollment of 35 people with aquaporin-4 IgG antibody positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder is planned with all individuals treated with commercially supplied ravulizumab at the recommendation of the healthcare provider, with use consistent with the approved indication and labeling.\n\nThe study is composed of the following:\n\n1. Study screening: Study screening will occur up to 45 days, with a minimum of 3 days to allow for the scheduling of study related events. During this time the eligibility of participants will be evaluated and diagnosis of aquaporin 4-IgG positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum confirmed by both the Core Clinical Committee and Core Imaging Committee. If a subject is declared a screen failure, all reasons for ineligibility will be captured. Ineligible subjects may be rescreened at a later time.\n2. Open-label treatment with commercially covered ravulizumab: Enrolled subjects will be treated with ravulizumab in a manner consistent with the FDA approved labeling. All prescreening laboratory tests, vaccinations, and clinical surveillance studies will be ordered and managed by the Primary Clinical Team.\n\n Treatment with ravulizumab will continue throughout the course of the study unless one of the following events occur: a. An individual loses commercial coverage for ravulizumab; b. Discontinuation of the medication by the clinical team is recommended due to an adverse reaction, intolerability, or inadequate disease control. The decision regarding treatment will be determined by the Primary Clinical Team and the patient; c. The participant prematurely discontinues treatment for personal reasons\n\n In the event that the medication is discontinued prematurely, participants will continue to be followed throughout the 52-78 week period with all clinical, radiological, and serological assessments performed.\n3. Clinical surveillance: Clinical safety surveillance will be performed throughout the study and managed by the Primary Clinical Team. In the event of new or concerning clinical symptoms, participants will be evaluated within a 24-hour period via telehealth or in-person visit. Clinical evaluations, serological assessments, and repeat MRI data per protocol will be performed within a 48-hour period. The acute management of subjects will be led by the Primary Clinical Team. All clinical data associated with acute clinical events will be sent to the Core Clinical Committee and relapses adjudicated by consensus. MRI data acquired at the time of the event will be evaluated by the Core Imaging Committee and interval change in conventional imaging outcomes (i.e., new and/or newly enlarging T2-hyperintense lesions, gadolinium enhancement) adjudicated by consensus.\n4. Safety surveillance: Safety assessments in association with treatment with ravulizumab will be managed by the Primary Clinical Team. The use of concomitant medications will be tracked during the entire course of the study. These will include prescribed medications for both NMOSD and non-NMOSD, including the use of glucocorticosteroid treatment administered orally or parenterally, along with over-the-counter agents.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'The study population will consist of male and female adult participants recruited from The Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology Clinic at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas.', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
