Could immune therapy calm sudden OCD and food refusal in kids?
NCT ID NCT04609761
First seen Mar 08, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tested a monthly infusion of donated antibodies (IVIG) for 6 months in 17 children aged 4-17 with Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS), a condition causing sudden severe OCD, anxiety, or food refusal. The goal was to see if the treatment is safe and can reduce symptoms. Since PANS may involve immune system problems, IVIG was chosen to try to calm that response. The study was small and open-label, meaning everyone knew they were getting the drug, so results are preliminary.
