Official Title: A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Basket Study To Evaluate The Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacokinetics, And Pharmacodynamics Of Satralizumab In Patients With Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartic Acid Receptor (NMDAR) Or Anti-Leucine-Rich Glioma-Inactivated 1 (LGI1) Encephalitis

Estimated Primary Completion Date : June 23, 2025
Estimated Study Completion Date : December 7, 2027


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: NMDAR autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) cohort
Adults and adolescents with definite or probable NMDAR encephalitis
Drug: Satralizumab

In Part 1, study drug will be administered after all other study related procedures have been performed at a site visit at Weeks 0, 2, 4, and Q4W thereafter. Participants will receive satralizumab according to body weight. Study drug will be administered by SC injection in the abdominal or femoral region after all other study-related procedures have been performed at a site visit.

In Part 2, participants will be asked to choose from one of the following options:

Option 1: continue on randomized, double-blind study drug; Option 2: start open-label satralizumab based on body weight; Option 3: stop study treatment and continue follow-up assessments


Experimental: LGI1 AIE cohort
Adults with LGI1 encephalitis
Drug: Satralizumab

In Part 1, study drug will be administered after all other study related procedures have been performed at a site visit at Weeks 0, 2, 4, and Q4W thereafter. Participants will receive satralizumab according to body weight. Study drug will be administered by SC injection in the abdominal or femoral region after all other study-related procedures have been performed at a site visit.

In Part 2, participants will be asked to choose from one of the following options:

Option 1: continue on randomized, double-blind study drug; Option 2: start open-label satralizumab based on body weight; Option 3: stop study treatment and continue follow-up assessments


Placebo Comparator: NMDAR autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) Placebo cohort
Adults and adolescents with definite or probable NMDAR encephalitis
Other: Placebo
Satralizumab placebo PFS is identical in composition to satralizumab PFS, but does not contain the satralizumab active ingredient and will be identical in appearance and packaging to satralizumab. A PFS (assembled with an NSD and extended finger flange) filled with 0.5 mL of solution, corresponding to 60 mg satralizumab, may be used in Part 2 once it becomes available at the study site.

Placebo Comparator: LGI1 AIE Placebo cohort
Adults with LGI1 encephalitis
Other: Placebo
Satralizumab placebo PFS is identical in composition to satralizumab PFS, but does not contain the satralizumab active ingredient and will be identical in appearance and packaging to satralizumab. A PFS (assembled with an NSD and extended finger flange) filled with 0.5 mL of solution, corresponding to 60 mg satralizumab, may be used in Part 2 once it becomes available at the study site.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Part 1: Proportion of participants with mRS score improvement ≥ 1 from baseline and no use of rescue therapy at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 24 ]
    mRS = Modified Rankin Scale

  2. Part 2: Percentage of participants with adverse events [ Time Frame: From Week 52 up to 2 years ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Part 1: Time to mRS score improvement ≥ 1 from baseline without use of rescue therapy [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 52 ]
    mRS = Modified Rankin Scale

  2. Part 1: Time to rescue therapy [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 52 ]
  3. Part 1: Time to seizure freedom or cessation of status epilepticus without use of rescue therapy [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 24 ]
    Seizure freedom defined as a cessation of seizures for at least 6 consecutive weeks

  4. Part 1: Change in CASE score from baseline at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 24 ]
    CASE = Clinical Assessment Scale in Autoimmune Encephalitis

  5. Part 1: MOCA total score at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 24 ]
    MOCA = Montreal Overall Cognitive Assessment;

  6. Part 1: RAVLT score at Week 24 (LGI1 AIE cohort) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 24 ]
    RAVLT = Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test.

  7. Part 1: mRS score at Week 24 (as measured on a 7-point scale; NMDAR AIE cohort) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 24 ]
    mRS = Modified Rankin Scale

  8. Part 1: Percentage of participants with adverse events [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52, 2 Years ]
    Severity determined according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 5.0
