Advances in CIDP: Consensus Definitions, Emerging Pipeline & Individualized Care

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) presents significant challenges in both diagnosis and long-term disease management. As consensus definitions, emerging targeted therapies, and research into serologic biomarkers evolve, how can clinicians optimize individual care algorithms?
In this follow-up discussion, Karissa Gable, MD, Duke University Medical Center, breaks down recent breakthroughs in CIDP care and trial design:
- Standardizing CIDP Terminology: Key updates from the new international consensus definitions paper establishing unified criteria for disease remission, stability, treatment response, and refractory disease.
- The Emerging Pipeline: What’s next in therapeutic development, including FcRn antagonists (nipocalimab and batoclimab) and complement inhibitors.
- Shared Decision-Making: Practical strategies for tailoring therapy selection based on patient preferences, lifestyle, comorbidities, and administration routes.
- Building Confidence in CIDP Care: Applying 2021 EAN/PNS guidelines to navigate diagnosis and ongoing treatment adjustments when first-line options fall short.
