Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
This study was a double-blind, randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study in patients with a diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy and treated with IVIg, corticosteroids, or both therapies prior to study entry. Patients meeting the eligibility criteria were randomly assigned in a ratio of 1:1 to receive oral fingolimod (0.5 mg/day) or matching placebo.
The study consisted of 3 periods: a Screening Period, a Double-blind Treatment Period and a Follow-up Period after discontinuation of study drug treatment. Patients who complete the study will have an option to enter an extension.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Time to First Confirmed Worsening on the Adjusted Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) Disability Scale [Month 12]
Confirmed worsening in CIDP was measured by the adjusted INCAT Disability Scale. The adjusted INCAT disability scale measures arm disability and leg disability. For arm disability the scale ranges from 0 (no upper limb problems) to 5 (inability to use either arm for any purposeful movement). The leg disability scale ranges from 0 (walking not affected) to 5 (restricted to wheelchair, unable to stand and walk a few steps with help). The total adjusted INCAT disability score is calculated by the sum of the arm and leg disability scores where the total score ranges from 0 to 10. A confirmed worsening was defined as an increase by 1 or more points on the adjusted INCAT disability scale from the value at baseline.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change From Baseline for Grip Strength, Dominant Hand [baseline, Month 6, Month 12]
Grip strength measurements were done using a vigorimeter. With this device, the pressure in the bulb exercised by the participant was registered on a manometer via a rubber junction tube. Both the dominant and non-dominant hands were tested. A negative change from baseline indicates deterioration.
- Change From Baseline for Grip Strength, Non-dominant Hand [baseline, Month 6, Month 12]
Grip strength measurements were done using a vigorimeter. With this device, the pressure in the bulb exercised by the participant was registered on a manometer via a rubber junction tube. Both the dominant and non-dominant hands were tested. A negative change from baseline indicates deterioration.
- Change From Baseline for Rasch-Built Linearly Weighted Overall Disability Scale (R-ODS) [baseline, Month 6, Month 12]
This questionnaire was constructed using the patients' perception of their ability to perform daily and social activities. The questionnaire comprises 24 items ranging from ability to read a book or newspaper (as the easiest item to accomplish) to ability to run (most difficult item to accomplish). The obtained raw summed score was translated subsequently to a convenient centile metric score ranging from 0 (most severe disability) to 100 (no disability at all). A higher score indicated a better health status. A negative change from baseline indicates deterioration.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
-
written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed
-
The diagnosis of CIDP will use the definition of the EFNS/PNS Task Force First Revision. Patients must either have a clinical diagnosis of CIDP fulfilling the clinical inclusion criteria for typical CIDP or one of the following atypical forms of CIDP: pure motor, or asymmetrical (MADSAM [Lewis-Sumner syndrome]), or IgA or IgG (not IgM) MGUS paraprotein associated.
-
All patients must also fulfill the clinical exclusion criteria and the definite electrodiagnostic criteria of the EFNS/PNS Task Force First Revision.
-
disability defined by an INCAT Disability Scale score of 1-9 or, if INCAT score is 0, a documented history of disability sufficient to require treatment within the past 2 years following reduction or interruption of CIDP treatment
-
receiving IVIg treatment (minimal dose equivalent to 0.4 g/kg every 4 weeks for a minimum of 12 weeks) or corticosteroids (minimal dose equivalent to prednisone 10 mg/day) treatment prior to the screening visit
-
history of documented clinically meaningful deterioration confirmed by clinical examination during therapy or upon interruption or reduction of therapy within 18 months prior to Screening
-
stable CIDP symptoms for the 6 weeks before randomization
Exclusion Criteria
-
other chronic demyelinating neuropathies, including: Distal Acquired Demyelinating Symmetric Neuropathy (DADS) Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN) pure sensory CIDP hematopoietic malignancy except for MGUS
-
conditions in which the pathogenesis of the neuropathy may be different from CIDP such as: Lyme disease, POEMS syndrome, osteosclerotic myeloma, Castleman's disease
-
treatment with plasma exchange within 2 months of randomization, immunosuppressive/chemotherapeutic medications: azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, mycophenolate, etanercept, methotrexate tacrolimus or other immunosuppressive drugs within 6 months of randomization or 5 half-lives (whichever is later), Rituximab in the 2 years prior to randomization (patients that have received rituximab between 1 and 2 years should have B-cell levels within normal range), other cytotoxic immunosuppressive medications with sustained effects (including mitoxantrone, alemtuzumab, cladribine) at any time, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at any time
