What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests two different doses of Panzyga, an intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, in children aged 2 to 17 with CIDP, a rare nerve condition causing weakness and disability. The study aims to see which dose better controls symptoms and prevents relapses, using a disability scale to measure changes. Participants receive Panzyga infusions and are monitored for safety and effectiveness over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Panzyga, a human immunoglobulin solution given intravenously
What this could lead to
If successful, this trial could identify the best dose of Panzyga to control CIDP symptoms and prevent relapses in children, offering a safer, more effective treatment option.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The treatment may cause side effects like allergic reactions or headaches.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥2 years and ≤17 years. 2. Patients with a diagnosis of CIDP based on European Academy of Neurology/Peripheral Nerve Society (EANPNS) 2021 guidelone \[1\] 3. Clinical history of functional impairment due to CIDP, corresponding to an mRS score ≥2, but ≤5. 4. 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: 1. Patients with previously diagnosed CIDP who lack any CIDP symptoms. 2. Patients with a known history of inherited neuropathy or a family history of inherited neuropathy. 3. Patients who have previously failed immunoglobulin therapy for CIDP. 4. 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. 5. Patients with a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the past year, or pulmonary embolism ever. 6. Patients on unstable (change in prescribed dose within the last eight weeks) corticosteroids or rituximab use. 7. Patients with known or suspected hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis, or severe systemic response to immune-globulins, blood or plasma derived products, or any component of PANZYGA. 8. 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). 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. Presence of medical history information or clinical symptoms suggestive of immunoglobulin (IgA) deficiency and antibodies against IgA. 12. History of alcohol or drug abuse in the previous year, per Investigator's opinion. 13. Unable or unwilling to comply with the study protocol. 14. 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. 15. 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.
