The main chronic autoimmune neuropathies include chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), and anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) demyelinating neuropathy.
On the basis of randomized controlled studies, corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), and plasmapheresis provide benefits in CIDP. MMN responds only to IVIg. Because in MMN and CIDP, IVIg infusions are required every 3 weeks to sustain benefits or long-term remissions, there is a need for IVIg sparing agents.
In CIDP, immunosuppressive drugs, such as Rituxan, azathioprine, cyclosporine, methotrexate, mycophenolate, and cyclophosphamide, are used,Rituxan controlled trials show that it is effective.
Controlled trials have
not shown benefit to any agents in anti-MAG neuropathy. However,
clinicians use many immunosuppressive drugs in both settings, but
all have potentially serious side effects and are only effective in
some patients. Thus, there is a need for new therapies in the
inflammatory and paraproteinemic neuropathies. New agents targeting
T cells, B cells, and transmigration and transduction molecules are
discussed as potential treatment options for new trials. The need
for biomarkers that predict therapeutic responses or identify
patients with active disease is emphasized, and the search for
better scoring tools that capture meaningful changes after response
to therapies is highlighted.
