Background and Objectives Exit strategies such as de-escalations have not been evaluated for rituximab in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). We hypothesized that they are associated with disease reactivations and aimed to estimate this risk. Methods We describe a case series of real-world de-escalations from the French NMOSD registry (NOMADMUS). All patients met the 2015 International Panel for NMO Diagnosis (IPND) diagnostic criteria for NMOSD. A computerized screening of the registry extracted patients with rituximab de-escalations and at least 12 months of subsequent follow-up. We searched for 7 de-escalation regimens: scheduled discontinuations or switches to an oral treatment after single infusion cycles, scheduled discontinuations or switches to an oral treatment after periodic infusions, de-escalations before pregnancies, de-escalations after tolerance issues, and increased infusion intervals. Rituximab discontinuations motivated by inefficacy or for u
