Active clinical trials for "Polyradiculoneuropathy"

The intent of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human), 10% Caprylate/Chromatography Purified (IGIV-C) in newly or previously diagnosed CIDP subjects. Eight courses of treatment with either placebo or IGIV-C will occur every 3 weeks. Neurological function will be measured by Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) scores. Patients who deteriorate or show no improvement between day 16 and month 6 will receive the alternate study drug for an additional 6 months.

The aim of this study is to learn more about the following treatment options in adults with CIDP: Subcutaneous self-infusion with HyQvia. Intravenous infusion with Gammagard/Kiovig. Gammagard and Kiovig are the brand names for the same immunoglobulin compound. The study is in two parts. In Part 1, participants receive either HyQvia or a placebo subcutaneously. In Part 2 (only for participants who have a CIPD relapse during Part 1), participants will receive Gammagard Liquid/Kiovig intravenously. US participants will receive Gamunex-C. The first SC infusion will be given in the study clinic. The remaining SC infusions may be given in the study clinic or the participant's home. This will be decided by the study doctor and whether the participant or their caregiver can do the self-infusion.

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group 3-arm study to investigate 2 different doses of subcutaneous (SC) IgPro20 compared with placebo for maintenance treatment of patients with CIDP. Patients who received at lease 1 dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) within 8 weeks before screening will be assessed during 4 separate study periods. Patients first undergo a Screening Period, followed by an IgG Dependency Test Period of up to 12 weeks to test for ongoing need of IgG. Those patients experiencing CIDP relapse during this test period will be administered a standardized IVIG regimen during an IVIG Re-stabilization Period. Patients with improved and maintained adjusted inflammatory neuropathy cause and treatment scale (INCAT) in the IVIG Re-stabilization Period will continue to the SC Treatment Period of the study. Patients entering the 24 week SC Treatment Period will be randomized to receive weekly infusions of 1 of 2 IgPro20 doses (0.2 or 0.4 g/kg body weight) or placebo. The overall study duration is up to 52 weeks. Clinical outcomes will be assessed by the Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) score, maximum grip strength, the Medical Research Council (MRC) sum score, the Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale (R-ODS), and electrophysiological evaluations.

CIDP, a rare disorder affecting young adults, causes gradual weakness of the limbs, areflexia and impaired sensory function. New CIDP phenotypes without antibodies but with modified cell profiles have been described. Treatments include corticotherapy, IVIg and plasmapheresis but the latter's action mechanisms remain unclear. Plasmapheresis supposedly removes toxic agents like antibodies from plasma but it is uncertain whether it has an immune-modulating effect. Also, the refining mechanisms of the two main plasmapheresis techniques - single plasma exchange and double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) - are different and unclear. This study aims to compare the evolution of peripheral lymphocyte profiles in patients with CIDP according to their treatment (single centrifugation plasmapheresis or DFPP) to better grasp the action mechanisms of both techniques.

Adults with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) who have completed study 161403 will be able to take part in this study. The main aim of the study is to evaluate side effects in the long-term treatment with HYQVIA/HyQvia. All participants will receive HYQVIA/HyQvia in the same way as they were receiving in study 161403. The dosing interval of HYQVIA/HyQvia can be adjusted after 12 weeks of treatment in study 161505 if the study doctor determines that it is safe to do so. Participants will visit the clinic within 1 week after the first and second dose of HYQVIA/HyQvia and then every 12 weeks for the duration of the study.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether subcutaneous immunoglobulin given in small doses, is effective in maintaining the force, in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy compared with placebo (saline infusions), and intravenous immunoglobulin.

The study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fingolimod in the treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy compared with placebo.

OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the efficacy of 3,4-diaminopyridine in patients with stable chronic demyelinating polyneuropathy.

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the response of previously untreated patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy to intravenous immune globulin vs. placebo.

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare and evaluate the response to treatment with intravenous human immune globulin (IVIG) or placebo in previously untreated patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.
