Clinical Trial Summary

SIDEC - (Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin in De-novo CIDP) ia a study designed as a randomized, parallel study with an open-label extension phase. The aims are to compare the effect of SCIG and IVIG in 60 treatment-naïve CIDP patients, and to detect the lowest effective dosage for maintenance treatment.


Description:

In fase I the patients are followed for 26 weeks on a fixed dose of 0.54 g/kg/week in the SCIG group (total 14 g/kg) and 2 g/kg/4week in the IVIG group (total 14 g/kg). The patients automatically continue in fase II in which treatment is reduced every 12 weeks (90%, 75%, 50%, 25% and 0%) over a course 60 weeks. The patients are evaluated at every visit with overall disability sum score (ODSS), grip strength, medical research council score (MRC-score), INCAT-Sensory Sum Score (ISS), 10-meter-walk test (10-MWT), 6-spot-step test (6-SST), 9-hole-peg test (9-HPT), quality of life (EQ-5D-5L), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI), Rasch built overall disability scale (RODS) and Life Quality Index (LQI) and blood samples.

Gender All
Age group 18 Years and older
Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: - Fulfilling EFNS/PNS criteria for definite, probable or pure motor CIDP. - No previous treatment with IVIG or SCIG. - Age = 18. - ODSS = 2 - either (arm/leg): 1/1, 2/0 or 0/2 at the time of inclusion. Clinical criteria for typical CIDP - Chronically progressive, stepwise, or recurrent symmetric proximal and distal weakness and sensory dysfunction of all extremities, developing over at least 2 months; cranial nerves may be affected. - Absent or reduced tendon reflexes in all extremities. Criteria for pure motor CIDP • Pure motor affection; otherwise as for typical CIDP. Electrophysiological criteria for CIDP 1. Motor distal latency prolongation =50% above ULN in two nerves (excluding median neuropathy at the wrist from carpal tunnel syndrome), or 2. Reduction of motor conduction velocity =30% below LLN in two nerves, or 3. Prolongation of F-wave latency =30% above ULN in two nerves (=50% if amplitude of distal negative peak CMAP =80% of LLN values), or 4. Absence of F-waves in two nerves of these nerves have distal negative peak CMAP amplitudes =20% of LLN + =1 other demyelinating parameter in =1 other nerve, or 5. Partial motor conduction block: =50% amplitude reduction of the proximal negative peak CMAP relative to distal, if distal negative peak CMAP >20% of LLN, in two nerves, or in one nerve + =1 other demyelinating parameter in =1 other nerve, or 6. Abnormal dispersion (=30% duration increase between the proximal and distal negative peak CMAP) in =2 nerves, or 7. Distal CMAP duration (interval between onset of the first negative peak an return to baseline of the last negative peak) increase in =1 nerve (median =6.6 ms, ulnar =6.7 ms, peroneal =7.6 ms, tibial =8.8 ms) + =1 other demyelinating parameter in =1 other nerve Electrophysiological criteria for probable CIDP (a) =30% amplitude reduction of the proximal negative peak CMAP relative to distal, excluding the posterior tibial nerve, if distal negative peak CMAP =20% of LLN, in two nerves, or in one nerve + =1 other demyelinating parameter in =1 other nerve Exclusion Criteria: - Other causes of neuropathy - Increased risk of thromboembolism - Pregnancy (Plasma HCG is tested at inclusion in all fertile women) - Breast feeding - Malignancy - Severe medical disease - Other immune modulating treatment than low dose steroid (prednisolon < 25 mg daily) within the last 6 months prior to inclusion - Hepatitis B or C or HIV infection (screening at inclusion) - Known IgA deficiency - Known allergy to consents in PRIVIGEN or HIZENTRA - Body weight > 120 kg After treatment initiation: - Pregnancy - Serious medical disease that affects treatment or examinations - Non-compliance to treatment - Initiation of other immune modulating therapy - Unacceptable side effects - Withdrawal of consent to participate (drop-out)
