Patients with younger age at onset, poly-system involvement in the first attack, and unchanged or increased titer of AQP4-IgG are most likely to experience relapse under treatment with immunosuppressants. Time to AQP4-IgG becoming seronegative and change of AQP4-IgG titer may become the surrogate efficacy biomarkers in clinical trials. ANN NEUROL 2023.
