New hope for tough nerve disease: experimental drug riliprubart enters final testing
Disease control OngoingThis study tests a drug called riliprubart in 140 adults with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) that hasn't improved with standard care. Participants receive either riliprubart or a placebo for up to 111 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug reduces di…
