NCT Number: NCT01545076
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group 3-arm study to investigate 2 different doses of subcutaneous (SC) IgPro20 compared with placebo for maintenance treatment of patients with CIDP.
Patients who received at lease 1 dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) within 8 weeks before screening will be assessed during 4 separate study periods. Patients first undergo a Screening Period, followed by an IgG Dependency Test Period of up to 12 weeks to test for ongoing need of IgG. Those patients experiencing CIDP relapse during this test period will be administered a standardized IVIG regimen during an IVIG Re-stabilization Period. Patients with improved and maintained adjusted inflammatory neuropathy cause and treatment scale (INCAT) in the IVIG Re-stabilization Period will continue to the SC Treatment Period of the study. Patients entering the 24 week SC Treatment Period will be randomized to receive weekly infusions of 1 of 2 IgPro20 doses (0.2 or 0.4 g/kg body weight) or placebo.
The overall study duration is up to 52 weeks. Clinical outcomes will be assessed by the Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) score, maximum grip strength, the Medical Research Council (MRC) sum score, the Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale (R-ODS), and electrophysiological evaluations.

Relapse is defined as an increase of at least 1 INCAT score point (except for the increase from 0 to 1 in the upper limb score). The INCAT score is a 10-point scale that covers the functionality of legs and arms, and has been successfully used to measure treatment effects in various CIDP studies. Scores for arm disability range from 0 ("No upper limb problems") to 5 ("Inability to use either arm for any purposeful movement"), and scores for leg disability range from 0 ("Walking not affected") to 5 ("Restricted to wheelchair, unable to stand and walk a few steps with help"). The INCAT (total) score is the sum of these 2 scores and ranges from 0 to 10. For the "adjusted" INCAT score, changes in the function of the upper limbs from 0 (normal) to 1 (minor symptoms) or from 1 to 0 were not recorded as deterioration or improvement because these changes are not considered clinically significant.
Time frame: Baseline and up to 25 weeks

The hand-held Vigorimeter is a device that measures the strength of small muscles in the hand; ie, grip strength. Subjects squeezed a rubber bulb lying between the palm of the hand and the thumb and index fingers. The pressure was recorded via a rubber tube on a nanometer and expressed in kilopascal. At each assessment, the subjects squeezed 3 times with each hand. The mean grip strength median score of the dominant hand was determined.
Time frame: Baseline and up to 25 weeks
An adapted version of the MRC sum score was used in the study. The MRC sum score is the sum of all 16 muscle scores, and ranges from 0 (paralysis) to 80 (normal strength).
Time frame: Baseline and up to 25 weeks
The R-ODS centile score captures activity and social participation in subjects with CIDP. The R-ODS centile score ranges from 0 (most severe activity and social participation limitations) to 100 (no activity and social participation limitations).

Improvement is defined as an INCAT score decrease by 1 point (except for the decrease from 1 to 0 in the upper limb score), R-ODS improvement by at least 4 points, Mean Grip strength improvement by at least 8 kPa in one hand, or MRC Sum score >=3.
