Safety and effectiveness of Different PANZYGA Dose Regimens in Pediatric Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) Patients
View original scientific description
Safety and Efficacy of Different PANZYGA Dose Regimens in Pediatric Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) Patients
Interventions
DRUG
Panzyga
PANZYGA is a human immunoglobin solution with 10% protein content for intravenous (IV) administration.
Primary outcome measures
Change in CIDP Baseline
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks
Evaluate the efficacy of two PANZYGA dose regimens in pediatric CIDP patients based on change in CIDP symptoms, measured by the Modified Rankin Score. The Modified Rankin Score (mRS) is a 6 point disability scale with possible scores ranging from 0 to 6.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Age ≥2 years and ≤17 years.
- Patients with a diagnosis of CIDP based on European Academy of Neurology/Peripheral Nerve Society (EANPNS) 2021 guidelone \[1\]
- Clinical history of functional impairment due to CIDP, corresponding to an mRS score ≥2, but ≤5.
- Voluntarily given written informed consent (provided by patient's parent or legal guardian) and assent (provided by the patient, if age appropriate per Independent Ethics Committee \[IEC\]/Institutional Research Board \[IRB\] requirements).
Exclusion criteria
- Patients with previously diagnosed CIDP who lack any CIDP symptoms.
- Patients with a known history of inherited neuropathy or a family history of inherited neuropathy.
- Patients who have previously failed immunoglobulin therapy for CIDP.
- Patients who received immunoglobulin or plasma exchange (PEX) within eight weeks prior to the Baseline Visit (washout phase). However, if a patient has clinical evidence of confirmed CIDP relapse during the washout phase (consistent with an increase in mRS of ≥1), they are eligible for trial enrolment.
- Patients with a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the past year, or pulmonary embolism ever.
- Patients on unstable (change in prescribed dose within the last eight weeks) corticosteroids or rituximab use.
- Patients with known or suspected hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis, or severe systemic response to immune-globulins, blood or plasma derived products, or any component of PANZYGA.
- Female patients who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or planning to become pregnant, or are unwilling to use an effective birth control method while on the study (acceptable methods of birth control for this study include: intrauterine device \[IUD\], hormonal contraception, male or female condom, spermicide gel, diaphragm, sponge, or cervical cap).
- Presence of medical history information or clinical symptoms suggestive of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections.
- Severe liver and/or kidney disease (alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\] \> 3 × upper limit of normal \[ULN\]; aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\] \> 3 × ULN; and/or creatinine levels \>44 µmol/L for children ages 2-3 years, \>62 µmol/L for children ages 4-10 years, and \>89 µmol/L for children ages 11-17 years.
- Presence of medical history information or clinical symptoms suggestive of immunoglobulin (IgA) deficiency and antibodies against IgA.
- History of alcohol or drug abuse in the previous year, per Investigator's opinion.
- Unable or unwilling to comply with the study protocol.
- Receipt of any other investigational medicinal product (IMP) within three months before study entry or participating in another interventional clinical study. Prior participation in an observational or open-label study involving an approved product may be allowed but require prior consultation with the Medical Monitor to assess eligibilty.
- Any other condition(s) that, in the Investigator's opinion, makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the study or may interfere with protocol compliance.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
