Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) Mediated Fusion (PEG Fusion)
Elizabeth Wysocki, MS - ewysock2@jhu.edu
• Ages 18-80
• Sustained a complete peripheral nerve injury resulting from upper extremity trauma presenting within 48 hours of injury
• Involves injury or dysfunction to motor and/or sensory function of the axillary, radial, median, ulnar, or musculocutaneous nerve with injury localized between the proximal humerus and the distal flexion crease of the wrist
• Involves a "mixed" nerve segment (i.e., involves a location of any of the above specified nerves that can be expected to have both sensory and motor axons present).
• Patients beginning surgery within hours after injury.
• Injury to the brachial plexus nerves
• Injury to the nerves distal to the distal flexion crease of the wrist
• Injury that involves a distal extension of the parent nerve that is considered sensory only (superficial radial nerve, lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve, etc.) or the posterior interosseus or anterior interosseus nerve distal to the midpoint of the forearm (i.e., distal to what can be considered the main motor branches of the PIN and AIN).
• Previous peripheral nerve injury resulting from trauma, stroke, muscular, neurologic, or neuromuscular disorder
• Documented psychiatric disorder that is expected to result in high probability of self-harm or interfere with study follow-up.
• Severe problems with maintaining follow up (e.g., patients who are prisoners or homeless at time of injury or who are intellectually challenged without adequate family support).
• Not expected to survive the next 30 days due to their injuries/health condition.
• The subject has a known allergy to polyethylene glycol (PEG).
• If any of the assessments cannot be done on the contralateral side (CL) or the MRCC sensory 2PD value is \> 10 mm on the CL side during baseline period, the subject is a screen failure.
• The subject is pregnant and/or is breastfeeding.
• The subject has a significant medical comorbidity precluding immediate repair.
• The subject is not able to strictly adhere to the rules of the current clinical protocol.

A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Satralizumab in Participants With Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD)
Reference Study ID Number: WN42349 www.roche.com/about_roche/roche_worldwide.htm - global-roche-genentech-trials@gene.com
• Participants aged less than 18 years at the time of informed consent for Study BN40898 can continue treatment with a combination of oral corticosteroids and either AZA or MMF
• Participated in Study BN40898 or Study BN40900 with satralizumab in NMOSD, are on ongoing satralizumab treatment and were anti-aquaporin-4 IgG antibody (AQP4-IgG) seropositive at screening in these studies. Participants with NMOSD who were AQP4-IgG seronegative at screening in Study BN40898 or Study BN40900 can be enrolled if the investigator considers the continued treatment with satralizumab to be beneficial for the participant
• For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use adequate contraception during the treatment period and for 3 months after the final dose of satralizumab.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study or within 3 months after the final dose of study drug. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test result on the baseline visit prior to initiation of study drug
• Evidence of any serious uncontrolled concomitant diseases that may preclude participation including nervous system disease, cardiovascular disease, hematologic/hematopoiesis disease, respiratory disease, muscular disease, endocrine disease, renal/urologic disease, digestive system disease, congenital or acquired severe immunodeficiency
• Known active infection that requires delaying the next satralizumab dose at the time of enrollment
• NMOSD relapse at the time of enrollment
• Laboratory abnormalities at the last assessment in Study BN40898 or Study BN40900 that preclude re-treatment with satralizumab
