1. A diagnosis of CIDP can be confidently made if:
*
a. CSF protein is elevated, numbness and pain are present in the hands and feet, and axon loss is present on nerve conduction studies
b. Numbness is present in the feet, balance is unsteady, and nerve conduction studies show demyelinating changes
c. Weakness and numbness are present in the arms and legs, and nerve conduction studies show demyelinating changes
d. Numbness is present in the arms and legs, nerve conduction studies show axonal changes, and a patient reports feeling better after treatment with IVIG
2. The pathophysiologic process of CIDP:
*
a. Likely involves IgG antibodies, however no pathogenic antibody can be demonstrated in most patients
b. Is driven by a combination of T cell activation and targeted antibodies, which can be confirmed in most patients
c. Does not involve activation of the complement cascade in most patients
d. Is usually triggered by an external event, such as an infection
3. In the ADHERE Trial:
*
a. Patients were rarely found to not have CIDP by the adjudication panel
b. Before entering Stage A open label, only patients that were treatment naïve or off treatments needed to demonstrate response to standard therapies (such as IVIG or corticosteroids) before entering Stage A
c. In Stage A, efgartigimod was administered subcutaneously once per week, but in Stage B, administration was every 2nd or 3rd week depending on clinical outcomes
d. Most patients improved in the open label Stage A portion of the study and did not relapse in the Stage B randomized portion of the trial
