| Beschreibung: | Introduction/Aims
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is characterized by progressive weakness and sensory loss, often affecting patient’s ability to walk and perform activities of daily living independently. Furthermore, patients often report fatigue and depression which can affect their quality of life. These symptoms were assessed in CIDP patients receiving long-term intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment. Methods GAMEDIS was a multi-center, prospective, non-interventional study in adult CIDP patients treated with IVIG (10%) and followed for two years. Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) disability score, Hughes Disability Scale (HDS), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI), Short Form-36 health survey (SF-36) and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Score Attributable to General Health (WPAI-GH) were assessed at baseline and quarterly. Dosing and treatment intervals, changes in outcome parameters, and adverse events (AEs) were analyzed. Results 148 evaluable patients were followed for a mean of 83.3 weeks. The mean maintenance IVIG dose was 0.9 g/kg/cycle (mean cycle interval 38 days). Disability and fatigue remained stable throughout the study. Mean INCAT score: 2.4 ± 1.8 at baseline and 2.5 ± 1.9 at study end. HDS: 74.3% healthy/minor symptoms at baseline and 71.6% at study end. Mean FSS: 4.2 ± 1.6 at baseline and 4.1 ± 1.7 at study end. All patients reported minimal/no depression at baseline and throughout. SF-36 and WPAI-GH scores remained stable. Fifteen patients (9.5%) experienced potentially treatment-related AEs. There were no AEs in 99.3% of infusions. Discussion Long-term treatment of CIDP patients with IVIG 10% in real-world conditions maintained clinical stability on fatigue and depression over 96 weeks. This treatment was well-tolerated and safe. | |||||||
