SPHERES NMOSD-750 Study

UCI Specialty Area: Neurology

Principal Investigator: Michael Sy

Official Title: CorEvitas SPHERES (Synergy of Prospective Health & Experimental Research for Emerging Solutions) Registry for Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD)

A Study On:

Brain - Neurologic/ Psychologic

Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder NMOSD

Study Description

The objective of the registry is to create a cohort of patients with NMOSD. Data collected will be used to prospectively study the natural history of NMOSD, real-word effectiveness and safety of medications used to treat NMOSD, and drug utilization treatment patterns. Additionally, the data will be used to systematically evaluate the burden for patients with NMOSD and the impact of therapies on quality of life. This will be done through real time capture and adjudication of relapses, the standardized collection of patient-reported outcomes (PRO) and clinician-reported outcomes (ClinRO), the active evaluation of prevalent and incident comorbidities and adverse events, and the recording of medication utilization patterns.

Personal information is also collected from each consenting registry patient allowing for linkages to other public or private clinical and administrative databases, as well as to databases maintained by organizations focused on the care and treatment of NMOSD for the purposes of clinical, market, or outcomes research. This provides an opportunity to evaluate other aspects of the disease and its treatment including but not limited to clinical and drug cost-effectiveness, health care resource utilization, and patient adherence.

Consent for additional ad hoc surveys will be solicited which can allow evaluation of additional aspects of the disease impact such as care giver burden or impact of disease on productivity.

Eligibility

Has a diagnosis of NMOSD at the time of enrollment according to the 2015 IPND consensus diagnostic criteria for NMOSD†.
Age 18 years or older at the time of enrollment.
Willing to provide Personal Information.

Has had a clinically confirmed NMOSD neuro-episode within the 12 weeks prior to enrollment.
Is participating or planning to participate in a double-blind randomized trial for an NMOSD drug. Note: Concurrent participation in another observational registry or open-label Phase 3b/4 trial is allowed. (All serology types (APQ4 +/- and MOG +/-) are eligible to enroll in the registry given they meet the 2015 IPND diagnostic criteria.)

A female nurse attentively holds a tablet, ready to assist with patient care and medical information.

In the instance of parental permission, “You” refers to “Your child.”

Please read the information below and ask questions about anything that you do not understand. A
researcher listed above will be available to answer your questions.

You are being asked to participate in a clinical research potential participant database to identify
potential clinical research studies you may be eligible for. Participation in this database is voluntary.
You may choose to skip any question. You may refuse to participate or discontinue your involvement
at any time without penalty or loss of benefits. You are free to withdraw from this database at any
time. If you decide to withdraw from this database you should notify the research team
immediately.

You are eligible to participate in this study if you may be interested in participating in a research trial at UCI Health

We would like to interview you to learn more about your eligibility for current clinical research studies at UCI. The interview will last about 5-30 minutes, depending on the extent of your medical history.

Possible risks/discomforts associated with the database are hearing about potential clinical research studies that may not be of interest to you, invasion of your privacy, or a potential breach of confidentiality.

There are no direct benefits from participation in the database. However, this database may help inform you on clinical research studies that you may be eligible for. Participation in UCI clinical research studies help us gain important data and knowledge that may lead to improved treatment options for people with similar conditions to you in the future.

There are no alternative procedures available. The only alternative is not to participate in this study.

There is no compensation for your participation in this database.

There is no cost to you for participation in this database.

All information collected will be stored confidentially in a world-class securely-hosted application, “RealTime CTMS,” with robust data protections and encryption. This application has HIPAA compliant architecture and application rules to ensure data privacy and regulatory compliance.

Researchers will use your information to assess your eligibility for current and future clinical research studies at UCI. You may opt out at any time.

The research team, authorized UCI personnel, and regulatory entities, may have access to your study records to protect your safety and welfare.

While the research team will make every effort to keep your personal information confidential, it is possible that an unauthorized person might see it. We cannot guarantee total privacy.

Future Research Use
Researchers will use your information to conduct this study. Once the study is done using your information, we may share them with other researchers so they can use them for other studies in the future. We will not share your name or any other private identifiable information that would let the researchers know who you are. We will not ask you for additional permission to share this de-identified information

Data Retention - In accordance with UC Office of the President policy, information will be retained for 10 years after the end of the calendar year in which the research is completed.

If, during the course of this study, significant new information becomes available that may relate to your willingness to continue to participate, this information will be provided to you by the research team listed at the top of the form.

If you have any comments, concerns, or questions regarding the conduct of this research please contact the researchers listed at the top of this form
