Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) overview
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is a rare neurological disorder characterized by inflammation and damage to the protective covering of nerves, known as the myelin sheath. This damage disrupts the communication between nerves and muscles, leading to progressive weakness and impaired sensory function.
CIDP is clinically classified into typical and atypical forms. The typical form, the most common, involves symmetrical polyneuropathy, where both proximal and distal muscles are equally affected, leading to widespread weakness and sensory deficits. Symptoms usually progress gradually, but severity varies among patients, impacting walking, fine motor skills, and daily activities.
Atypical CIDP includes variants like Multifocal Acquired Demyelinating Sensory and Motor Neuropathy (MADSAM), or asymmetric CIDP, where nerve damage is localized rather than symmetrical. Another variant, Distal Acquired Demyelinating Symmetric Neuropathy (DADS), affects the lower limbs and progresses more slowly. CIDP may also affect only motor or sensory nerves.
The prognosis of CIDP largely depends on early diagnosis and timely treatment. Many patients respond positively to immunomodulatory therapies, resulting in significant improvement or even remission. However, some cases may become resistant to treatment, resulting in ongoing disability. A small number of patients may experience severe, progressive disease despite receiving therapy.
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy diagnosis
CIDP diagnosis involves clinical evaluation for symptoms like muscle weakness and sensory loss, along with nerve conduction studies (NCS) to detect slowed conduction. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis may reveal elevated protein levels. Electromyography helps exclude other conditions, while imaging techniques, including MRI and ultrasound, support diagnosis and differentiate CIDP.
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy treatment
CIDP is a condition causing progressive nerve damage due to immune-mediated inflammation. Treatments include corticosteroids, IVIg, plasmapheresis, immunosuppressive agents, and experimental autologous stem cell transplantation. While corticosteroids improve symptoms, they have long-term side effects. IVIg is effective and well-tolerated, often leading to remission. Plasma exchange offers short-term relief, and immunosuppressants are used for resistant cases. Stem cell therapy is experimental but promising.
As the market is derived using a patient-based model, the CIDP epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of CIDP, Gender-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of CIDP, Age-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of CIDP, Clinical Subtype-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of CIDP, and Refractory Cases of CIDP in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2020 to 2034.
The drug chapter segment of the CIDP report encloses a detailed analysis of CIDP-marketed drugs and mid to late-stage (Phase III and Phase II) pipeline drugs. It also helps understand the CIDP clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations and approval, advantages and disadvantages of each included drug, and the latest news and press releases.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, though classified as a rare disease, has gained increasing recognition in recent years. This is largely due to improvements in diagnostic techniques, greater awareness among healthcare professionals, and a deeper understanding of the condition. Management of CIDP typically involves a combination of pharmacological therapies and supportive interventions, with the primary objectives to suppress inflammation, modulate immune responses, and improve motor and sensory function.
The treatment landscape for CIDP has advanced with a multi-faceted approach, combining medications, and supportive care. Corticosteroids, such as prednisone and dexamethasone, are often the initial treatment. While they are effective in inducing remission, they carry a high risk of significant long-term side effects, including osteoporosis, weight gain, and increased susceptibility to infections. These adverse effects often necessitate combination therapies with steroid-sparing agents, which may not be universally effective.
Plasma exchange has shown short-term efficacy in removing harmful autoantibodies and improving symptoms. However, it is an invasive procedure that requires highly specialized centers and trained personnel, limiting its accessibility, IVIg has become the gold standard due to its demonstrated efficacy in long-term disease control and symptom improvement. Despite this, IVIg is costly, time-consuming, and heavily reliant on donor plasma, raising concerns about its long-term availability.
Several drugs are currently approved and available for the treatment of CIDP, reflecting the focus on immune modulation therapies. Key options include PANZYGA, an immunoglobulin (human - ifas) co-developed by Pfizer and Octapharma, and PRIVIGEN, an immunoglobulin offered by CSL Behring. PRIVIGEN is a ready-to-use, room-temperature-stored, liquid IVIg stabilized with proline.
There is a significant need for new treatments for CIDP, as existing therapies often fall short of fully managing the condition. Innovative drug development could provide more effective options for patients. Several promising drugs are currently in the pipeline, including riliprubart (SAR445088), nipocalimab (JNJ-80202135), and batoclimab (HL161), among others.
This section focuses on the uptake rate of potential drugs expected to be launched in the market during 2020-2034.

Physician's View
As per the KOLs from the US, it is becoming increasingly evident that a significant number of patients diagnosed with CIDP may actually have a different underlying condition, or in some cases, no neuropathy at all. Studies suggest that up to half of those diagnosed in the US may be misdiagnosed, highlighting the need for more accurate diagnostic practices.
As per the KOLs from Germany, early diagnosis, swift treatment initiation, and close monitoring of treatment response are crucial in preventing long-term disability in CIDP. Adopting a 'hit hard and early' approach to treatment is key to managing the disease effectively, as it can significantly improve outcomes and reduce the risk of permanent nerve damage. Early intervention ensures the best chance for recovery and helps minimize the impact of this debilitating condition.
As per the KOLs from Japan, CIDP is an immune-mediated disorder that causes gradual peripheral nerve damage over two months or more. CIDP requires careful diagnosis and management due to its slow progression, and understanding its epidemiology is crucial for improving treatment strategies and patient outcomes in the region.
