Study summary

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired neuropathy characterized by an inflammatory multifocal segmental demyelination. Due to the clinical heterogeneity of this condition and the lack of specific marker that can reliably identify all patients, the diagnosis of CIDP remains difficult. Similarly, there are no clear factors predicting the evolution or the prognosis of the disease. Current treatments are the intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), corticoids and plasma exchange; IVIg therapy being the most commonly used. Responses of the patients to the treatments are variable. Thus, it is necessary to identify predictive markers of the therapeutic response of CIDP patients treated by IVIg.

Several potential biomarkers have been proposed recently, but none of them has yet been validated as a predictive criterion for therapeutic response. It is therefore necessary to continue to investigate several biological parameters to identify a reliable biological marker.

In electromyography, the Motor Unit Number Index (MUNIX) technique allows measuring the axonal loss by a precise count of functional motor units. This method, more sensitive than the measure of the Compound Muscle Action Potential (CMAP), is rarely used in CIDP. MUNIX might be a good tool to better characterize the patients and to follow the course of CIDP. It also might be a new sensitive and reliable marker predictive of the therapeutic response.

Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) is increasingly used for the assessment of neuromuscular diseases. A recent study on CIDP patients reported a significant decrease of the muscle Magnetisation Transfer Ratio (MTR) compared to healthy subjects, correlated to clinical parameters. The use of advances MRI techniques could allow characterizing the structure and composition of muscle and nerve tissues of CIDP patients. It could also be a mean for identifying potential new markers, largely unexplored until now, that might be sensitive to disease course and/or IVIg response.

The objective of this study is to identify predictive markers of the treatment response of CIDP patients receiving IVIg.

This is a prospective observational exploratory study of a cohort of 30 CIDP patients treated with IVIg and followed-up during one year.

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

  • Suffering from CIDP
  • Fulfilling the EFNS/PNS (European Federation of Neurological Societies / Peripheral nerve Society) 2010 revised criteria
  • Treated with IVIg or needed to be treated with IVIg

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with a known to the normal human Ig or one of the constituents of the preparation
  • Patients with a known IgA deficiency or with anti-IgA circulating antibodies
  • Patients with a change in their or immunomodulatory treatment in the last 6 months
  • Patients with a for MRI explorations
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.

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.

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.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

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 Jul 29, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
