Summary
The intent of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of Immune Globulin
Intravenous (Human), 10% Caprylate/Chromatography Purified (IGIV-C) in newly or previously
diagnosed CIDP subjects. Eight courses of treatment with either placebo or IGIV-C will occur
every 3 weeks. Neurological function will be measured by INCAT scores. Patients who
deteriorate or show no improvement between day 16 and month 6 will receive the alternate
study drug for an additional 6 months.
Clinical Details
Official title: Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of IGIV-Chromatography (IGIV-C), 10% Treatment in Subjects With Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: ≥ 1 point improvement in the INCAT score relative to baseline at 6 months (without crossing over) or the last INCAT assessment after the first study drug infusion (crossing over). Any subject who crosses over will be considered a non-responder.
Secondary outcome: Mean change in the amplitude (millivolts) in the most severely affected motor nerveChange in grip strength Time to relapse
Detailed description:
110 subjects, 55 per treatment group, with newly or previously diagnosed CIDP defined by
INCAT neurophysiological diagnostic criteria will be enrolled into the trial. Patients will
not be replaced if they discontinue prematurely.
Eligible subjects will be randomized to receive either IGIV-C at a dose of 2 g/kg body
weight (bw) ideally over 2-4 days or matching placebo. Thereafter, study drug infusion
(IGIV-C or matching placebo) will be administered every 3 weeks at a dose of 1 g/kg bw,
given over 1-2 days for a total of 7 additional infusions. Patient's functional disability
will be measured using the INCAT disability score at baseline, day 16, and at each study
visit scheduled every 3 weeks for 6 months. If the INCAT score worsens by ≥1 point at any
time between day 16 and month 6 (not including the month 6 visit) relative to baseline, the
subject will be immediately crossed over to the other study drug. Subjects whose INCAT
upper extremity score changes from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0 will have an adjusted INCAT score
calculated where this upper extremity change is not incorporated into the adjusted score.
Any subject with an adjusted INCAT score change of 0 will be deemed a stable patient and
will be crossed over at week 6.
Upon entering the crossover period, subjects will receive either IGIV-C at a dose of 2 g/kg
bw ideally over 2-4 days or matching placebo. Thereafter, a study drug infusion (IGIV-C or
matching placebo) will be administered every 3 weeks at a dose of 1 g/kg bw, given over 1-2
days for a total of 7 additional infusions. A subject will be terminated from the study any
time between day 16 and 6 months during the crossover period if the INCAT score fails to
improve by ≥1 point relative to INCAT score at time of crossover. Stable subjects who
crossed over at Week 6 must remain in the Crossover Treatment Period for 3 weeks before
being considered for withdrawal (due to lack of improvement). Any subject who has been
crossed-over to the alternate study drug will be deemed a treatment failure for the primary
efficacy analysis.
Randomization will be within each center. Eight randomization numbers, which constitutes
one or more full random blocks, will be assigned to each center. A random number will be
assigned to subjects in ascending order.
Eligibility
Minimum age: 18 Years.
Maximum age: N/A.
Gender(s): Both.
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Documented diagnosis of CIDP must be made by a neurologist specializing/experienced
in neuromuscular diseases based on: a) Progressive or relapsing motor and sensory
dysfunction of more than one limb resulting from neuropathy over the 2 months prior
to the date informed consent is obtained, and b) Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) less than
50 white cells/µl since CIDP diagnosis (CSF testing studies are NOT mandatory)
- Fulfillment of INCAT neurophysiological criteria for focal demyelinating
polyradiculoneuropathy
- Overall INCAT score between 2-9 and significant disability in upper or lower limb
function in at least 2 limbs. (An INCAT score of 2 must be exclusively from leg
disability to qualify.)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Treatment with IGIV or plasma within 3 months prior to entry
- Steroids (Prednisolone or equivalent) > 10 mg/day or equivalent (i. e., > 20 mg every
2 days) during the last 3 months prior to entry
- Treatment with immunomodulatory/immunosuppressive agents (azathioprin,
tacrolimus,cyclosporin, OKT3, any interferon), previous lymphoid irradiation or prior
treatment with cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, mitoxantrone or any other
immunosuppressant drug within the past 6 months prior to entry
- Concomitant use of supplements containing any amount of fish oil within 30 days prior
to entry
- Respiratory impairment requiring mechanical ventilation
- Myelopathy or evidence of central demyelination or persisting neurological deficits
from stroke, CNS trauma or peripheral neuropathies of other cause which include
diabetes mellitus (defined as a history of type 1 or type 2 diabetes with fasting
plasma glucose ≥ 7. 0 mmol/L), uremic, toxic and familial neuropathies
- Pure motor syndrome fulfilling criteria for multifocal motor neuropathy with
conduction block. Lower motor neuron disorder with motor weakness in an upper limb,
without sensory deficit and with proximal conduction block (50% decrease in
amplitude/area with proximal distal stimulation ) in motor nerves and normal sensory
nerve conduction studies.
- Clinical or known evidence of associated systemic diseases that might cause
neuropathy, including but not limited to connective tissue disease, HIV infection,
hepatitis, Lyme disease, cancer (with the exception of benign skin cancer),
Castleman's disease and systemic lupus erythematosus, diabetes mellitus (defined as a
history of type 1 or type 2 diabetes with fasting plasma glucose ≥ 7. 0 mmol/L), a
malignant plasma cell dysplasia, IgM paraproteinemia, and amiodarone therapy.

product.
