IMVT-1402 for Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores the effectiveness of a new treatment called IMVT-1402 for individuals with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), a condition that causes nerve damage and muscle weakness. Researchers aim to determine if this treatment can manage CIDP symptoms more effectively than a placebo (a substance with no active drug). Individuals with CIDP who have been on stable doses of corticosteroids or immunoglobulin therapy for at least three months might be suitable candidates for this study. Joining this trial could contribute to discovering better ways to treat CIDP. As a Phase 2 trial, this research focuses on assessing the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of participants.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires that you continue taking your current medications, such as corticosteroids or immunoglobulin therapy, as long as they have been stable for at least 3 months before the screening.
Is there any evidence suggesting that IMVT-1402 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that IMVT-1402 is under study to determine its safety and efficacy for individuals with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Although specific safety information about IMVT-1402 is limited, its progression to a Phase 2 study indicates that some safety data has been collected, likely from earlier research. Treatments reaching this stage typically demonstrate some safety in initial tests, often involving healthy volunteers.
Researchers closely monitor clinical trials for any side effects. If IMVT-1402 had exhibited serious safety issues earlier, it likely would not have advanced to this stage. Nonetheless, participants in this trial will be closely observed to ensure the treatment remains safe and any side effects are manageable.
Consult a healthcare provider to determine if joining a trial is the right decision.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Unlike the standard treatments for Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), which often include corticosteroids, IVIG, or plasma exchange, IMVT-1402 is unique because it targets the disease with a novel mechanism of action. It works by modulating the immune system in a way that potentially reduces inflammation more precisely and with fewer side effects. Researchers are excited about IMVT-1402 because it offers a promising alternative that could lead to better outcomes for patients who haven't responded well to existing therapies.
What evidence suggests that IMVT-1402 might be an effective treatment for CIDP?
Studies have shown that IMVT-1402, which participants in this trial may receive, holds promising potential for treating conditions like chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). For example, a similar drug, batoclimab, significantly improved symptoms in patients with myasthenia gravis, another autoimmune disease. IMVT-1402 aims to reduce harmful immune responses in the body. Early research suggests it may help improve muscle strength and reduce disability in patients with CIDP. While more data is needed, these findings indicate that IMVT-1402 could be effective for CIDP by adjusting the immune system.12567
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) who have been on stable doses of corticosteroids or immunoglobulin therapy for at least 3 months can join. Those with diabetes not well-controlled, other types of neuropathies, IgM paraproteinemia, or central demyelination cannot participate.Inclusion Criteria
