Study summary

NewGam (current working title for a new IGIV formulation) is a newly developed human normal immunoglobulin solution ready for intravenous administration (IGIV). This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of three different dosages of NewGam 10% in patients with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2/3 study that will take place in 2 stages. The primary objective of Stage 1 (Phase 2 dose-finding part)is to determine and select one dosage from three NewGam maintenance dosage arms in comparison with a placebo arm, based on the percentage of responders (response defined as a decrease, meaning improvement, in the adjusted INCAT disability score by at least 1 point). The selected NewGam dosage and placebo will be employed and compared in Stage 2.

The primary objective of Stage 2 (Phase 3 confirmatory part) is to demonstrate superiority of the maintenance dosage regimen selected at study Stage 1 over placebo in patients with CIDP as assessed by the percentage of responders.

The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety (measured by number of adverse events)and efficacy of NewGam administration in patients with CIDP compared to baseline.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients diagnosed as having CIDP based on fulfilment of clinical criteria of the INCAT Group and the definite electrophysiological criteria for CIDP ; patients with MADSAM or pure motor CIDP will be included provided they fulfil these criteria
  • Worsening of disability and objective increase in weakness or sensory deficit during the 6 months prior to screening
  • >=18 years of age

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Unifocal forms of CIDP
  • Pure sensory CIDP
  • MMN with conduction block
  • Treatment of CIDP with immunoglobulins (intravenous or subcutaneous) at any time prior to study entry
  • of any type equivalent to prednisolone or prednisone > 10 mg/day or equivalent plasma exchange (PE) during the last 3 months prior to baseline visit
  • Treatment with cyclosporin, methotrexate, mitoxantrone, mycophenolate mofetil, interferon or other or immunomodulatory drugs during the three months prior to baseline visit
  • Clinical evidence of peripheral neuropathy from another
  • Known diabetes mellitus
  • Other serious medical condition complicating assessment or treatment
  • Thromboembolic events: patients with a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) within the last year prior to baseline visit or pulmonary embolism ever
  • Known IgA deficiency with antibodies to IgA
  • History of , anaphylaxis or severe systemic response to immunoglobulin, blood or plasma derived products, or any component of NewGam
  • Known blood hyperviscosity
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 23, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
