Compares treatment options for CIDP (Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy)
Official title A Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of XEMBIFY Versus Gamunex-C in Participants With Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07540221
What this study is testing
What is Gamunex-C?
Gamunex-C is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly injectable medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for cidp (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy).
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The main goal of the study is to find out whether XEMBIFY, given once a week under the skin, provides similar levels of immunoglobulin G in the blood over time as Gamunex-C, which is given into a vein once every 3 weeks in people with CIDP. Participants with CIDP will first have up to 28 days of screening to make sure they can join the study.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
