Research summary
Research Summary
Study LTS17261 allows patients with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) who previously received riliprubart in clinical trials to continue treatment long-term. CIDP is a rare disorder causing weakness and numbness in limbs due to nerve inflammation. The study aims to gather safety data and assess ongoing effectiveness of riliprubart over an extended period.Research Question and Importance
This study examines whether riliprubart remains safe and effective for long-term CIDP treatment. This matters because CIDP is chronic, often requiring ongoing therapy, and new treatment options with good long-term safety profiles could significantly improve patients' quality of life.Disease Area and Treatment
CIDP is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks nerve coverings. Riliprubart (300mg) is administered weekly as a subcutaneous injection using a prefilled pen designed for self-administration.Eligibility and Study Sites
Eligible participants must have completed treatment in previous riliprubart studies (PDY16744, EFC17236, or EFC18156). Up to 283 participants will enroll at multiple global medical centers specializing in neurological disorders.Study Duration and Experience
The study lasts up to 3 years. Participants will:
• Receive weekly self-administered injections
• Attend regular clinic visits
• Complete assessments of nerve function and disability
• Have blood tests for safety monitoring
The study continues until riliprubart becomes commercially available, the development program ends, or other treatment options become locally available.REC name
