Summary

This study tested whether rituximab, a drug that depletes certain immune cells, could help people with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) stop their current medications and achieve long-term remission. The study planned to enroll 48 adults with CIDP across three subgroups. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
