Study summary

The pHeNIx study, a national multicentre prospective non-interventional study, should help to describe the conditions of use for Hizentra® and the methods for switching from the IV to SC route in everyday practice, together with the tolerability and efficacy of treatment, which is monitored using a patient application (PRO: Patient-Reported Outcomes).

Read the detailed description

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a neurological and rare type of autoimmune disorder. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is the first-line treatment for CIDP which has been proven to be effective. For several years, published cases have suggested that the Sub-Cutaneous Ig (SCIg) may be an alternative treatment to IVIg in the treatment of CIDP. Compared to IVIg treatment, the SCIg can achieve more stable plasma IgG concentrations, suggesting a potential reduction in the dose exhaustion effect at the end of the cycle, but also fewer systemic effects. SC administration also enables more straightforward treatment to be given for ambulatory patients.

Based on the PATH study (NCT01545076), a double blind placebo-controlled, randomised, prospective, international multicentre phase III study, Hizentra® obtained an extension of its marketing authorization for the CIDP indication as maintenance treatment after stabilisation with IVIg.

However, in the "real-life" situation, the literature is still based at present on small series of patient or short-term follow-up periods.

However, the methods for switching from the IV to the SC route and the characteristics of patients receiving this treatment are not known. In addition, SCIg administration remote from a specialist centre without assistance from a health professional no longer enables a more regular assessment of the patient in terms of tolerability and efficacy.

The pHeNIx study, a national multicentre prospective non-interventional study, should help to describe the conditions of use for Hizentra® and the methods for switching from the IV to SC route in everyday practice, together with the tolerability and efficacy of treatment, which is monitored using a patient application (PRO: Patient-Reported Outcomes). The study duration is estimated to be 36 months in view of: a 24-month inclusion period and a 12-month follow-up period.

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 Jan 7, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
